Jambo, Leslie! I am so excited to hear you want to make an Advanced Dining Reservation to
Tusker House Restaurant! It is always a must do for my family each vacation! We love starting our mornings off with their breakfast, the food is so delicious (Simba waffles? I mean YES!) and it is a wonderful place to see some of my pals, like Mickey Mouse, and Donald Duck! Don't forget to try a Jungle Juice Mimosa! They are delightful!
Advanced Dining Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance. For a party as large as yours, I definitely would call a Cast Member at (407) 939-5277 once that 60 day mark opens up for you! And always check the My Disney Experience app for potential cancelations, in the event you are not able to secure a reservation immediately! Some dining reservations I've been able to experience have been due to constant checking of the app!
I recommend if you can securing an early reservation, that way you can walk right after to the
Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction! You may have the chance to see the lions at that time!
I hope I have answered your questions today Leslie! Enjoy your vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth! Happy planning!
