Jambo, Lisa!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm delighted you stopped by today with a question about
Disney's Animal Kingdom. It's my favorite theme park in all of Walt Disney World Resort!
My husband and I recently started a
wild morning in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park with breakfast at
Tusker House Restaurant, and it set such a magical tone for the day. We were able to secure one of the earliest morning reservations, and we were in for a special treat when we happened to be seated as each character made their grand entrance for the day. Trust me, you'll love seeing Mickey and his pals in their safari-finest. I'm particularly fond of Goofy's get-up (he regretfully informed me that it didn't come in my size), and be sure to pay close attention to the patches on Donald's jacket. You might see some logos you've spotted in other places around the park!
You'll likely make your reservation for the atmosphere, Lisa, but leave raving about the
menu. The buffet is filled with a variety of options that include staples like Mickey (and Simba) waffles, eggs, and bacon, but I was also surprised to see options like overnight oats, hard-boiled eggs, and an assortment of fresh fruit. It was a special delight to find the pastry I typically order as a quick-service breakfast from
Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery (a chocolate twist) offered in miniature. The buffet price also includes unlimited refills of select beverages such as milk, coffee, tea, and assorted juices (including Jungle Juice). You also might be happy to hear that you're not limited to just one refillable beverage, so I enjoyed Jungle Juice, coffee, and water during my meal. Tusker House does offer a variety of breakfast cocktails, but these will come at an additional cost.
I particularly love the value of a large breakfast because it enables me to enjoy a delicious snack — like buffalo chicken chips from
Trilo-Bites or the Tiffins Bread Service from
Nomad Lounge — in place of lunch, but if all of those magical theme park steps have you in need of something a bit more substantial, my husband loves the protein-packed bowls from
Satu'li Canteen.
I hope this information is helpful for you, Lisa. Don't forget that we're always happy to help here at
planDisney, so if any additional questions arise as you finalize your plans, feel free to come see us again!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
