Hi Rob,
Welcome to planDisney! And welcome to Florida for your magical Walt Disney World vacation.
Breakfast with Mickey and his pals, decked out in their safari-themed finest, is a terrific way to start your day at
Animal Kingdom. The parking lot typically is accessible about 60 minutes before park opening. Animal Kingdom's hours on the day of your visit are 8 am to 7 pm.
So I think your planned timing is just right. If you arrive at the parking lot gates around 7 am, you should have plenty of time to park and make your way to the entrance. You should see a cast member designated to check in guests with early reservations who can get you admitted and on your way to breakfast.
Please remember that you will need a valid ticket or pass.
Park reservations are not required if you are using a date-based ticket, but may be for other types of tickets and annual passes.
Once you are through the entry, it's about a 10-minute walk to Africa and your reservation at
Tusker House. After your meal, you are perfectly situated to hop on
Kilimanjaro Safaris, visit the new B
luey's Wild World at Conservation Station or stroll on the
Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail.
Wishing you a roarin' good time at Animal Kingdom, Rob.
Enjoy,
Wilma
