Hi Rick,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us another question, my fellow Canadian!
Early December is one of my favourite times of year to visit Walt Disney World Resort. Not only are the
Holiday festivities in full swing, but the temperatures and crowd levels tend to be a bit more comfortable too.
If you want to take a taxi to
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park in order to make it to your 8 am breakfast reservation at
Tusker House Restaurant, please note that they’ll be dropping you off at the Theme Park’s main entrance area. Then, after going through bag check, you’ll be able to enter the Park through the entrance “tapstyles” designated for use by Guests with early morning breakfast reservations, and you’ll be on your way! To be on the safe side, I would recommend setting aside about 20-30 minutes (depending on how fast you walk) from when you arrive to when you get to Tusker House Restaurant, as it’s near the back of the Park in the Africa section.
If you want to save a few dollars, please note that the taxi drop-off location isn’t that much closer to the main entrance plaza than the
Disney Bus Transportation drop-off area. Plus, there are always early morning buses running for Guests who have dining reservations before the Parks open. Please ask your Disney Resort Hotel’s
Lobby Concierge for more information, ideally at least a day before your reservation.
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
