Hi Bobbi!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your dining question. February is just around the corner—how exciting! You’re going to have an amazing time exploring
Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And wow, dining at Tusker House? That’s such a wildly fantastic choice!
Tusker House is one of my family’s favorite
character dining experiences. Not only do you get to enjoy delicious African-inspired dishes, but you’ll also meet Donald Duck and his pals decked out in their safari best, ready to bring the adventure to life! It’s a great environment for explorers of all ages, and you’ll want to keep your camera or phone ready for those magical character moments.
Okay, Bobbi, let’s trek into your question. No matter what time your reservation is at Tusker House, you can rest assured that you’ll meet all the characters. They make their rounds to every table, stopping for photos, autographs, and lots of smiles. In my experience, dining later can sometimes feel even more special because the restaurant tends to be less crowded, which means more interaction with your safari squad. It’s a delightful way to make lasting memories.
If you’d like to modify your reservation, hop onto the
My Disney Experience app to check for available times. Many guests adjust their plans as their trip approaches, so you might find an earlier reservation opening up closer to your visit. Flexibility is key on this adventure!
I hope you have an incredible time at Tusker House and enjoy every moment of your Animal Kingdom visit. Hakuna Matata, Bobbi—your February trip is going to be unforgettable! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
See you real soon,
Christina
