Hi Ann! Lucky you! The countdown is SO on for your vacation! You'll have so many magical memories from your child's first visit! You can certainly try to make reservations once you arrive, but please know that character dining experiences, including the Animal Kingdom's Tusker House, are extremely popular and book up quickly. Tusker House is indeed serving lunch starting December 4, 2011, hosted by Donald Duck and his pals. A few tips to getting last minute reservations:
- Go directly to the restaurants and ask them what they have available for that day.
- Be flexible - they tend to have more openings during off-peak hours.
- Check often. If you bring a computer, check on-line
here. If you leave the location and dining experience as "no preference", a list of all available restaurants with a time frame will be posted. Super easy!
- Have your hotel concierge check for you.
Best of luck Ann! Wishing you the most magical vacation!
