My family and I went there for a character breakfast one morning and the food was great. However, the service staff is a little slow. Clearing of the tables was a bit of an issue but other than that our experience was very good and delightful. The Disney characters (Donald, Goofy, Daisy etc...) were fantastic.

We ate lunch here on our last day in Disney and it was such a wonderful ending! The service was great (even though the women standing with Donald Duck were EXTREMELY rude to our children, one being special needs), the food was great, and the characters were great. I would eat here again, but i will admit I expected a... More

We almost canceled this reservation because we only had one day at Animal Kingdom. Our daughter convinced us not to and were we ever glad! The food was excellent, the juice even better, and the character interaction was awesome! The pictures with Donald Duck are extra but well worth it. You won't be sorry you spent the time here!

Every time we go to Disney world by boyfriend and I look for new exciting places for character breakfasts! I love Cinderella's Royal Table but I have to say that Character Breakfast here is our favourite!! The food was absolutely phenomenal and the jungle juice was amazing. The actual decor and atmosphere of the resturant was brilliant. Animal Kingdom and... More

During our day at Animal Kingdom, we had a character lunch here with Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Mickey. Was nice to get inside away from the heat. Very diverse and delicious buffet (salmon, curry chicken, couscous, variety of salads, much more) kids loved the mac n cheese, corn and mashed potatoes. Characters were dressed in safari gear which was really... More

We had a reservation at the Tusker House to start our Disney vacation. It was a great way to start. We were promptly greeted and checked in. Then we had our family picture taken with Donald and immediately taken to our table. The buffet was huge and everything was fresh and delicious. The characters (Mickey, Goofy, Daisy) came through and... More

We ate here for character lunch. They do not rush you and the food is pretty good with a large variety.

This is a buffet which features mostly African dishes. Even though African cuisine is unfamiliar to me and those in my group, no one went away unhappy. There was a nice selection and the food was excellent even though I can't recall much of what I had other than a seafood soup (very good). My kids even loved the mac... More

We have eaten at many of the other Disney restaurants. This was our first time at Animal Kingdom. We decided to give this a shot for breakfast. We had eaten breakfast at Chef Mickeys the day before. The biggest issue was the selection. It was considerably less than Chef Mickey. Overall it wasn't bad just not great. Low bang for... More

We have been to several character breakfast and this one by far was the best. The food was good and the characters were great. They spent a lot of time with the kids. The characters travel around the room in a certain sequence so you could wait up to 30 minutes to see certain characters but if you take your... More
