Tusker House[edit]
Tusker House is a character dining location in the Africa section of Disney's Animal Kingdom.
History[edit]
Tusker House originally opened April 22, 1998 in the Africa section of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Although the restaurant originally opened as a counter service location [1], in 2007 it closed for refurbishment [2]. When Tusker House reopened in November 2007, it had changed formats to buffet dining [2]. Furthermore, following the refurbishment Disney began offering "Donald's Safari Breakfast", a character dining experience, for breakfast [3].
Over the years Disney added character dining to both lunch and dinner. On December 4, 2011, Disney introduced "Donald's Dining Safari Lunch", a new character dining lunch buffet [4]. Finally, on December 11, 2014, Disney introduced Donald's Safari Dinner, meaning that Tusker House now featured characters at all three meals [5].
