Hey there, Thanks for stopping by
planDisney! Patty this is an early start to your day with the big cheese himself and his pals. Let's figure out the best way to arrive in a timely manner for your meal.
Animal Kingdom Park has been an ecological haven for animals of all kinds for over 25 years. And
Tusker House has been serving up great meals up to guests for years as well. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and others will be visiting you during your meal here for pictures and special moments while you dine. Arriving to the park at least 20 minutes before your scheduled time should give you enough time to get to the restaurant. From the front gates to Tusker House is a 7 minute walk, along with walking to through the gates 20 minutes is safe. If you will be utilizing the bus system this drive is typically 34 minutes. The buses run an hour before park opening so getting on the bus that early without food in your bellies is going to be a challenge. I would get to your bus stop at least by 6:30am, they run every 20 minutes. My true recommendation is not to use the bus, if you can build the cost of one ride share into your budget this would be the time to use it. A ride share will cut the travel time in between the resort and the theme park down to a 10 minute ride, and it might actually be shorter. The cost is usually under $20 in my experience depending on the size of your group.
While you are at Animal Kingdom be sure to catch a ride out into the savanna with
Kilimanjaro Safaris. This is not far from Tusker House, and the morning is a great time to catch the animals. Your tour guide will take you on a 20 minute ride and point out the animals and give you some awesome facts. I learn something each time I have boarded those vehicles.
I hope this information is helpful in getting you to your reservation on time and in a great mood with some extra shut eye. If you have any other planning questions visit us again.
Have a magical stay,
Jeremy A.
