    Hello we are visiting in Sept are are so excited. Just wondering, we are planning to eat at Donald's safari breakfast in animal kingdom and was wondering how do we get in early since the park is not open at 8am yet?

    If you are driving to the Animal Kingdom, the parking lot opens at 7:30 a.m. Otherwise, you'll take a WDW bus from your resort hotel. I'd recommend getting to the bus stop at 7:15 a.m.

    Once you are at the Animal Kingdom, proceed through Security and then to the entrance turnstiles. To the far right are lines dedicated to early morning tours (Wild Africa Trek) and Character breakfast dining. A cast member will check your name on the reservation list, then you'll use your park admission to enter the park.

    Cast Members will be situated along the route to point you towards the Tusker House restaurant in Harambe, Africa. Donald's Safari breakfast serves up an enjoyable morning buffet!

    Enjoy a leisurely stroll. With the park not open to the general public yet, it's a wonderful time to get some good photos!
