Tiffins is a table service restaurant located in Discovery Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
History
Work on the creation of what would eventually be known as Tiffinss began in November 2014, when Disney began to convert and expand parts of Discover Island's Pizzafari into a new table restaurant [1]. Disney announced the creation of Tiffins on November 20, 2015 with a target opening of Spring 2016 [2].
Tiffins officially opened to guests on May 27, 2016 [3]. On , Tiffins introduced a lighter lunch menu offered in conjunction with its normal all day menu [4]. The new lunch menu allows guests to try smaller portions of the restaurant's dishes at a lower cost.
Description
Tiffins was inspired by the travels of the creators of Disney's Animal Kingdom [5]. The restaurant is described by Walt Disney Imagineering as “a gallery you can dine in with artwork that is a direct result of travels to Africa, Asia and South America,” [5].
Tiffins is divided into three "art gallaries"- the Trek Gallery, Safari Gallery and Grand Gallery, that guests dine in. The artwork featured here were inspired by sketches and photographs that Imagineers took when doing research for the park [6].
The Grand Gallery on the other hand showcases the folk influences on the design of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Featured in this gallery are wooden carvings that used to line the pathway to Camp Minnie-Mickey. Also present in this dining area are wooden animals and insects that used to be found in Pizzafari.
The final dining room, the Trek Gallery, takes its theming from the trips that Imagineers took to South Asia, when researching the Asia section of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Like the Safari Gallery, artwork, photographs and artifacts that were inspired by Imagineer's research trips can be found here.
