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].

Current Menu[edit]

Characters[edit]

Dawa Bar[edit]

Located adjacent to Tusker House is the Dawa Bar. This bamboo bar specializes in African wines and beers, including the signature Tusker Lager.

Fun Facts and Trivia[edit]

  • Tusker House is designed to look like an African marketplace. Facades for various stores can be found on the second floor of the building [6].
  • On the second floor of Tusker House, guests can see a facade for Jorodi Masks & Beads, a store that specializes in earrings. This is a reference to Imagineer Joe Rohde and the large earring he wears [7].
