Character dining will return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park when Tusker House reopens on June 20!

When you walk inside Tusker House you're stepping inside a lively Harambe marketplace eatery, the perfect surrounding to see Donald Duck and his friends dressed in their safari gear.  Guests are encouraged to take pictures of Donald and his friends as they stroll throughout the dining rooms.

The updated menu will be family-style, instead of a buffet, brimming with African-inspired flavors for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Breakfast will start with fresh fruit and a pastry basket containing the favorite, Safari Bread. The breakfast platter will have Mickey and Simba Waffles, Durban Chicken and Egg Curry with Jasmine Rice, potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and waffles.

Lunch and dinner will start with an assorted bread basket and African-inspired salads. Entree options include Moroccan Spiced Beef, Berber Marinated Pork, Spit Roasted Herb Chicken, and Cape Malay Green Curry Shrimp. Sides include green beans, roasted potatoes, jasmine rice, and macaroni and cheese. Animal inspired mini dessert will end the meal.  

Those will kids who might be on the picky side will find comfort in classic offerings such as fruit and yogurt for breakfast and mac and cheese for lunch and dinner.

To dine at an in-park table-service restaurant, you need a confirmed dining reservation for the total number of Guests—regardless of age, plus a park reservation and valid admission for the same park on that same date for each Guest ages 3 and up. Dining reservations do not guarantee access to a park, and Park Hopper availability may change daily. We recommend Guests book in-park dining at the park where they have a Disney Park Pass reservation.
