Not too long ago, Disney announced that Tusker House Restaurant would be reopening with character dining in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this summer!
Tusker House is Reopening Soon! ©Disney
Earlier today, Disney shared the official date on which the restaurant will reopen and when reservations will become available. But there was still one thing we were waiting on…details about the food that would be served and the cost! Now, menus and pricing have been released for all of the meals that will be served at Tusker House and we’re sharing all of that information right here with you.
In just a few weeks, you’ll be able to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner with Donald Duck and friends in Tusker House at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Let’s break down the menu and pricing info now.
Breakfast
First up, we’ve got breakfast. If you’re hoping to have breakfast at Tusker House, it will be served family-style and will cost you $42 per adult and $27 per child.
In terms of what will be available, Disney has shared that there will be a pastries basket with safari bread, multigrain croissants, and cornbread, all served with whipped butter, Nutella, and strawberry preserves. There will also be fresh fruit with honey yogurt sauce.

You’ll also get to much on a breakfast platter which includes some potatoes, scrambled eggs, Mickey and Samba-Shaped waffles, bacon, sausage, and Durban chicken-egg curry with jasmine rice.

Does this sound like the exact type of breakfast you’d want to start your day? Then you’ll want to grab your reservations!
If you’re looking for plant-based or allergy-friendly specific options, be sure to speak with a Cast Member to request that. The Allergy-Friendly menu notes that plant-based options are available upon request.

You can see some of the options above but keep in mind again that you can ask for a plant-based version of the breakfast platter too.
There are also some drinks available.

Lunch
If you’re looking to grab lunch here, you’ll be able to enjoy a family-style meal priced at $55 per adult and $42 per child.
The meal includes a few different starters, namely house-made breads (served with hummus, and coriander and mango chutney), as well as African inspired salads (featuring Kachumbari and Arcadian green salad with citrus vinaigrette dressing).

For entrees, you’ll get to enjoy Moroccan spiced beef, spit-roasted herb chicken, Cape Malay green curry shrimp, and Berber marinated pork. There will also be a number of sides available including green beans with carrots and corn, jasmine rice, roasted potatoes, and house-made macaroni and cheese.
Entrees and Sides
But, of course, there’s always room for dessert!
Not a Huge Dessert Menu but the Animal desserts are pretty awesome!
Disney notes that there will be animal-inspired mini desserts.

There are also a number of non-alcoholic specialty beverages and mocktails available for an additional price.
Some fun drinks and mocktails for those that do not wanna drink before 5 PM … or at all.
And there will be various cocktails also you’ll be able to order for an additional cost…

Here’s a look at some of the food items that will be available for lunch!

If you’re looking for allergy friendly or plant-based options, you can request that. For lunch and dinner, the Cast Member told us that the first course (meaning the breads and salad) are plant-based and vegan (note that Disney defines their “plant-powered cuisine” as one that is “made with plant foods like grains, nuts, vegetables and fruit—and without animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey.”)
For the main entrees, a plant-based Impossible Durban Curry is available upon request. For dessert, a plant-based chocolate mousse is also available upon request.
Lunch Plant-Based Menu

Again, see above in the lunch section for the allergy-friendly and plant-based options.
If these menu items sound like the types of things you’d love to try, be sure to get reservations for Tusker House.

Bummed out on the lack of a vegetarian entree. $55 to eat side dishes isn’t going to work for the vegetarians in my clan. Sad.
Surprised – and disappointed – that there are no vegetarian/plant-based options for the main courses with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 🙁
Not ONE vegetarian option!!!!!!!! My family of four vegetarian adults from Pennsylvania, ate at Tusker on every one of our 6 trips to Disney every year. At current prices, that’s $220 plus a $44 tip. That’s $264 on ONE lunch, that we won’t be spending at Tusker house.
And with no more annual passes, which we have had for 20 consecutive years, our park tickets for the last two trips this year cost us more per person than twice what one annual pass would’ve been. RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!! It’s just BS that annual passholders don’t spend money at Disneyworld. We stay at a Deluxe hotel every single time, buy stupid pens, stupid mugs, stupid T-shirts, stupid gifts, as much as any first time attendee. Oh yeah, and we probably spend $2000 -$2500 on food. That and sometimes up to $3000 on the hotel when I pay cash for it outside of DVC. Smart move Disney. We will now go to Disney just once or twice a year. Disney bean counters have won out over good customer service. I think Disney needs new bean counters, because the current ones just lost Disney over $20,000 – $30,000 a year, just from one family. See if a one time newcomer spends that much.
And it goes further than that. I am considering selling my DVC membership.
Seems Disney now has the eyesight of a hawk, and the vision of a clam.
I was looking for a veggie option too !
The buffet was great for options for the non meat eater
The family style of this restaurant is a little disappointing. Under regular circumstances I never opt for buffets. Even before the pandemic, I’ve had enough experiences to judge buffets disgusting, both in taste and hygiene. But under magical circumstances, the Tusker House is a total exception. I even came up with “hack” that totally won’t work with family style. The trick to get the best of Tusker House was to make a reservation around 10:30. At this time you are able to catch the end of breakfast and the beginning of lunch. Best Brunch you’ll ever have and well worth the money. Being a cheapskate who’s taken other cheapskate family members to this discovery, I’ve never gotten a complaint. In fact, most want to go again before our trip is over. I then had to sadly tell them that those reservations need the full six months ahead to get. Hopefully the buffet style will return and those times won’t just be magical memories.
We also have vegetarians in our group. In this day and age one would think they would be accommodated especially at that price.
Denise, I asked our reporter who will be reviewing the new menu to ask specifically about vegetarian and plant-based options. When the review is up, give it a look to see what we find out.
Because of the high cost I usually do only one character meal and after seeing this menu, this is not the place I would choose.
It’s sad that it looks like the bread pudding has not been added to the menu. That was one of the main reasons we went to Tusker house. My husband loved the bread pudding.
Eager to know if there is a range of vegetarian/vegan options offered upon request or just one? Trying to justify the cost when there is so much meat and we are all vegetarians but used to love Tusker!
Jessica, we asked when we dined there a couple days ago. I’m having an editor add the menu with plant-based options to the posts. Click here for breakfast and here for lunch. I hope this helps!
Any menu for picky eaters & kids? Do they offer substitutes? Thank you!
