Hello Kayla,
Our family loves
Animal Kingdom, and breakfast with Mickey and his pals at Tusker House is the perfect way to start your Disney day! I am so glad that character dining is starting to return.
We were just at
Tusker House Restaurant, so I can say for absolute surety that guests are able to make reservations for this dining experience. I looked up availability for a family of 4 for 60 days from now, and I was only able to find one time available for a late lunch reservation. Depending on your party size reservations for the day you are trying to get may already be booked. My recommendation for you is to keep trying. Often people make dining reservations before they know their actual plans for each day, and they realize they need to cancel. We actually ended up getting our reservation to Tusker House on the morning of our day in Animal Kingdom. I hope you have the same luck!
If you are able to book a reservation, keep in mind that right now things are a little different than what you may be used to. Instead of being a buffet, the meal is served family style. It's all you care to eat, so servers are more than happy to bring you extra helpings. Another difference is that the characters don't come directly to your table, but they will stop close enough to pose for a socially distant photo. Even though our family is looking forward to the day when Mickey can come up to our table, sign an autograph book, and share a hug, we were able to get some really fun photos and make some great memories!
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
