Disney World is continuing with its phased reopening!
Ready to Conquer Disney’s Animal Kingdom?
While shows, restaurants, and rides slowly reopen, we’re keeping an eye out for any more changes around the parks. And today, Disney announced some BIG news about your dining options! Some fan-favorite restaurants are finally reopening, and we’ve got to share the good news.
This summer, Tusker House Restaurant is reopening in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! This character dining spot has remained closed since the parks reopened last July, and we can’t wait to welcome it back.
Tusker House
Best of all, the restaurant will reopen with a modified character experience! We’ll get to see Donald and friends decked out in their “safari best,” with safety practices similar to other modified character meals around the parks.
We can’t wait to see you here again, Donald!
The meal itself will be family-style — we’re thinking the set-up will be similar to what is currently the case at Chef Mickey’s. Disney hasn’t announced a menu or actual reopening date, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as they do!
This is one of our favorite restaurants in the parks, and we are SO excited to eat here again. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!

Thanks for the updates!! I need to know the second I can make a reservation – I am so excited!!! Thanks again, DFB – you guys are the BEST!
My opinion I do not want to eat in any restaurants taking of your mask and have people breathing around you and the food . I would buy but take out only take it back to my resort . Pandemic or not never like dining into any restaurants I love to relax in my own space .
Tusker House has consistently been a “must do” for years. It’ll be even better when the buffet and hugging the characters are back, but having Tusker back on the menu is great!
