Tusker House

Tusker House restaurant, located in Animal Kingdom’s Africa, has a lot to offer park guests. Start the day here with a Character breakfast featuring Donald Duck and friends donning their best safari gear! This is the only character meal in this park and has become a quick fan favorite.

For lunch and dinner Tusker house continues to be sit down restaurant featuring an African-inspired buffet that rivals Boma. You can also reserve the “Finding Nemo Package” which offers priority seating at a post-dinner showing of Finding Nemo: The Musical. While I have not booked this package we have done the Fantasmic Dining Package and it can be nice and convenient not having to worry about seating at such popular shows.

Since Tusker House has re-opened (it was a counterservice restaurant before the rehab) it has been very busy and reservations for breakfast especially book up fast. I would recommend booking at the 180 day window if you know you want to add this to your to-do list on your next visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom park!

We went here for lunch, it is now a character buffet! Food was great, kids loved it.
We skipped the picture before entering the restaurant, kids were hungry. We were then not obligated to buy it! The desserts were incredible!!! Another place we are adding to each trip!!!

I came here with my family in June 2011 and 8 months later I am still craving the food from Tusker House. We went for an early dinner and beat the crowd. The variety of food was great and my children loved the pb& j bar, something different than the chicken nuggets and burgers they kept ordering everywhere else. Make sure you leave room for the delicious deserts!

We were there in October 2011 and the least I can say is that we LOVE LOVE LOVE Tusker House! Great food, fantastic service, and the location can’t be beat! Even for a busy day at the park we only waited MAYBE 15 minutes before being seated for lunch, WITHOUT A RESERVATION!! It is quickly becoming mine and my husband’s favorite place to stop in the Animal Kingdom. Makes that park that much more enjoyable!

Loved Tusker House lunch this past Decembe(2011). Character interaction was great and we saw 2 of them twice. Lunch buffet was delicious with many options. The picture guy never came around with our picture with Donald though we asked several times. Overall a great meal!

We have always liked Akershus for the Princess Breakfast. My 7 year old insists we go there on each visit. This trip we decided to try both Akershus and Tusker House. We were all pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing, service was great and we all had a fantastic time. Even the little princess told us she preferred Tusker House to Akershus!

This place was great! We ate there during Christmas week of 2011 for lunch. It was busy but we had a reservation and was seated close to our time. The kids got there picture with Donald while we waited and Daisy/Mickey and Goofy visited while we ate. The food was very different but tasty. All our kid age 16/12/10 and 8 left there very full. You have to try one of everything. It was a nice place to relax after the safari trip! Hands down better than the Rainforest!

This is my mother-in-law’s #1 pick for breakfast. She is a big Daisy Duck fan and this is the best place to see her. I love the rich and varied breakfast menu. They have unusual items that are very good, but different from the usual eggs/sausage/pancakes/waffle offerings. The juice is also very good. They call it Jungle Juice. The atmosphere seems more relaxed than some of the other character meals. The cast members are always very solicitous and make sure we get to see every character. One particular trip we arrived soaking wet from an early morning rain shower. I wasn’t sure I even wanted to get out of the car to fight the weather all the way back to Tuskar House. But when I got there I was glad I had braved the storm.
