    I have breakfast reservations at Tuskers before AK opens, how do I get to the restaurant?

    You are in for a delicious (and fun) breakfast, Britny! Not only do I love the food at Tusker House Restaurant, but I love that Mickey let’s (my favorite) Donald lead the hosting duties at this restaurant! Mickey’s a good pal!

    When arriving at Animal Kingdom for your early Tusker House Restaurant dining reservations, simply approach one of the Cast Members at the main entrance of the park and let them know you have dining reservations. They’ll direct you to the appropriate entrance where you will need to present your valid theme park admission and show your reservation. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be entering the park that is my favorite for early morning strolls! The lush tree-lined walkways pass through the perfect combination of both sun and shade as the natural inhabitants of Animal Kingdom welcome you to their home!

    One of the highlights of Tusker House breakfast is the Simba waffles! Don’t worry, there are also the classic Mickey-shaped waffles, too, but Tusker House is just one of the very few dining locations at Walt Disney World where you can find the Simba waffles!

    Once you’re done with your amazing breakfast, head on out to enjoy your adventurous day at Animal Kingdom!

    Dreams do come true!
