really that's what this place offers. The buffet offers lots of food, lots, but it's not the highest quality. (like most other large buffets) If you wanting to see Donald, daisy, Micky, Minny and goofy this is the way to go! They come around to each table and will take pictures with you, that's the biggest pro of Donald's Safari... more

We ate here on 5/13/09. We did a late seating for Donald's Safari Breakfast. We checked in about 10 minutes early for our ADR and were seated right on time. The atmosphere is very nice and the restaurant is very spacious...definitely not cramped and crowded. The buffet had a wide variety of choices. Particularly good are the Mickey-shaped waffles, the... more

My finance and I love this restaurant. I think it's very reasonable; yes, $20 per adult may seem steep for some but it includes a beverage and the buffet is huge and offers the equivalent of an appetizer, salads, side dishes, several meats and lots of desserts. All you care to eat. Very fresh veggies, adventurous flavors. The musicians outside... more

We ate at the Tusker House while vacationing at Disney with our 4 year old daughter and infant son in May, 2009. The food was buffet style with many, many choices and an African flair. Our family is mostly vegetarian (hubby eats some fish and poultry), and this particular buffet was pleasing to all. The children's offerings were great and... more

My husband and I recently ate at Tusker House for lunch while in visiting the Animal Kingdom. This was not planned and we did not have reservations. This is an all you can eat African inspired Buffet and was excellent with a large spread with a large variety of appetizers/entre/sald/bread/dessert. Try the samoas with the mango chutney. There is even... more

When we went to the Tusker House even waiting waiting for your table was fun! Nearby were acrobats and you could go and watch them whilst you wait. Before you are taken to your table a picture is taken and you can buy it to capture the Disney Magic!! The tables are decent but slightly cramped, there is a wide... more

We had breakfast booked at this restaurant for 9:00 a.m. and only waited about 5 min. before receiving our table. Although it was a tad bit chaotic and noisy for my tastes, the kids seemed to enjoy it well enough. It was fairly clean and the buffet was pretty standard breakfast fare. It was all pretty good and lots of... more

We made reservations for 8am for Donald's Safari Breakfast at Tusker House at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It was great entering the park an hour before it opened. We got some great pictures of the Oasis and the Tree of Life on our walk back to Africa and Tusker House. Upon arriving we checked in and were asked to pose for... more

What a disorganized horrid restaurant. What can I say it sets the new Disney standard. 45 minute wait even though I had reservations. (Oh I am sorry Disney does not have reservations.) more
