    Where can we get breakfast on early arrival to the animal Kingdom theme park

    Jambo, Rebecca! Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for sharing your Animal Kingdom question! 

    I’m thrilled to answer this question because it involves 3 of my favorite things. Walt Disney World, breakfast food, and Early Entry. We’re all early risers in my family, so we love being able to use Early Entry to enter the theme parks 30 minutes before official park opening. There are several breakfast options you can enjoy when you arrive at Animal Kingdom bright and early for your Disney day. Hours and availability are subject to change, but here is a list of the dining locations that are currently open for Early Entry or soon after. 

    Opens at 7:30 AM
    - Creature Comforts 
    - Drinkwallah 
    - Satul’li Canteen
    - Trek Snacks 
    - Tusker House Restaurant 

    Opens at 8:00 AM
    - Harambe Fruit Market 
    - Isle of Java 
    - Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery 
    - Mahindi 
    - Tamu Tamu Refreshments 

    I haven’t had the opportunity to enjoy Tusker House for breakfast, only lunch, but the food was fantastic and I imagine breakfast is equally delicious. It was also one of the most fun character dining experiences we’ve had at Walt Disney World. 

    As you prepare for your visit, remember that not all experiences at Animal Kingdom are open during Early Entry. This list is subject to change, but the current list of available attractions includes: 

    - Avatar Flight of Passage
    - DINOSAUR
    - Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
    - Na’vi River Journey

    I hope this info helps with your vacation planning, Rebecca, and that you have a delightful morning at Animal Kingdom. Pop right back if you have any other questions. Your planDisney pals are here to help! 

    Magical travels!
