Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Jan! It is a pleasure to answer your first question!
I am excited to hear that you will soon be visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and having lunch at
Tusker House Restaurant. I love their amazing food and great character interactions. Donald Duck and his friends look absolutely adorable in their safari outfits as they greet Guests at their tables.
Guests are advised to arrive at their dining destination at least 15 minutes before their reservation time, so plan to check in at the podium between 11:20 A.M. and 11:25 A.M. If you are coming to the park close to your reservation time from another destination within the Walt Disney World Resort, please allow for 1.5 hours to travel if you are using Disney
complimentary transportation.
Tusker House Restaurant is a very popular dining destination, but I must also share with you one of my favorite places at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park,
Nomad Lounge, located right next to
Tiffins Restaurant. This lounge is the perfect place to relax and unwind with family and friends. Their food and drink offerings are amazing! My husband and I are big fans of their selection of artisanal cheeses, specialty cocktails and beers from around the world.
I hope this helps you while planning, Jan! Please stop by real soon with more questions, we are delighted to help!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
