Tusker House at Disney’s Animal Kingdom - FULL Updated Experience / Fun Character Buffet!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- In this video I bring you to dine at Tusker House restaurant in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park for my first time, and we also see lots of animals and characters around the park! Tusker House is a character dining buffet where you can meet Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy in their safari outfits celebrating their latest expedition! The African inspired buffet is all-you-care-to-eat and the theming is detailed and covers the entire, large restaurant space! I will bring you along for the FULL EXPERIENCE - the food, the characters, the atmosphere, theming and more - and we will also stroll around Disney's Animal Kingdom and see lots of character boat cavalcades and animals before and after dining, and I add in some extra tips about rides and food at the end of the video too! We walk around the Tree of Life and find some lovely shady paths to hang out and see more animals! It's a lovely, HOT, crowded, spring day at Animal Kingdom, and we have a good time inside in the AC with fun characters! Thanks for joining me!
Welcome to Super Enthused! My name is Jackie and I bring you along as we visit fun and unique travel destinations, theme parks and attractions, road trips, resort tours and so much more. I hope you enjoy the videos, thanks for being here!

If I ever have a wedding.. I’d hire Boma to cater it..😂 loooove boma
Ooh I'll have to try Boma next, that's one of the ones I mentioned that's at AKL with no characters, but I know a lot of people love the food there too. It's another one I've weirdly never dined at! But hope you enjoy Tusker House with me in this video!!
@@SuperEnthusedtell mickey and minnie tell them I love them so much tell them that I miss them so much
Love the video ! There’s nothing cuter than sea otters!
Fabulous meeting characters ❤❤❤
One of the best I think, Mary!
@@SuperEnthused 🙄I would have cried lol
We were there for breakfast in 2015, and lunch with preferred seating for rivers of light in 2019. We absolutely love it, but as I get older, the thought of all that food, walking around what feels like the surface of the sun, I don’t think we can manage buffets or family style now. This and 1900 park fayre are great memories.
I miss Rivers of Light. Totally also understand that, ya can get sleepy after these nice meals!
We love Tusker. Breakfast is the best!
Love Tusker House, the character’s outfits are awesome and the different type of foods is great. I loved the green curry shrimp. It was family style when the GF and I went, hopefully the buffet won’t negatively effect quality.
We’ve had so much fun at Tusker House in the past. So happy to see you like it as much as we do. Excellent vlog as usual Jackie, thank you 🥰
great video my friend
Wonderful vlog as always thank you.
Hope you're having a happy Wednesday!
Great video Im so glad I found your channel . Keep the awesome vlogs a coming .
Just love the ending montage in all your vlogs!
Thanks Jackie! My grand girls were there in august (7 &9)-loved it! I think they did breakfast,said it was best character time.
I did this for my 35th Birthday 6 years ago. I really enjoyed it. I was wearing a T-shirt saying it’s my birthday, hug me and I got loads of attention from everyone, not just the characters.
That’s so cute, love that idea! Definitely a great place to spend a birthday.
Happy 35 birthday 🎈 🎂 🎂 Jackie any sweet for today like and love ❤️😘🥰 the amazing great Disney videos this year one of my whole co- workers really like the Disney fastest dark rides this year I think you are a superstar star and a happy person this week give up the Disney video they really like it so much this is the head boss this is Jenna Dabao go with the flow and had fun and have a great time
Awesome video Miss Jackie as always especially when you got to see the Otters my wife loved that part 😊
For those who want a similar experience but don't care for character interactions (or just want to eat and pay less) try Boma at Animal Kingdom lodge. It's African inspired cuisine just like Tusker house but also offers kid friendly/picky eater options as well.
I’ll try Boma soon, I’ve also tried Sanaa. I’ve got lots of other videos of different dining experiences, and lots outside Disney too, so you can find a wide variety of different types of dining and experiences I’ve done videos of too. Lots of people love character dining so I wanted to try this for lunch/dinner, not breakfast. Bc breakfast is basically the same everywhere.
@@SuperEnthused Omg I can't believe you haven't tried Boma, it's so so good! I slightly do prefer them for breakfast over dinner though especially since they offer hand cut ham with a special mustard sauce, and some awesome babotie - which is scrambled eggs with chopped meat, curry and other spices. However the dinner service offers the zebra domes for dessert which are a staple at AKL. Just do both 🤣 P.S love your podcast!
We eat at Tusker House every time we go to Animal Kingdom. It's a great character experience! Thanks Jackie! Cheers! Are you in? Drinks on Us, Disney Fantasy May 12th. :) , FYI This is Texas Heat, this is my Travel Channel.
It’s such a great experience! Also have so much fun on the Fantasy!!!
Cool! Thank you!!
Such a great review video Jackie!! I love your interactions with the characters! It’s so cute to watch your interactions with them, and having a conversation!! The restaurant is really cool I love all the decorations and the theming!! The food look really yummy to, and it looked busy there in the park!! It’s so much fun that you took us along with your first time at the restaurant! So glad you had such a great time!! ❤️😊😊😀
Thank you so much, Anna!!
@@SuperEnthused your very welcome Jackie! ❤️😊
Jambo! Animal Kingdom is definitely overlooked. It's a fantastic park for families and animal lovers. I was there for passholder soft opening and fell in love. Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a nice Buffet but where are the zebra domes, or is that at another place? Watching you with the character meet and greet put a smile on my face especially with Donald.
I think that's Boma, the restaurant in Animal Kingdom Lodge. I'll go try that one day too! Donald was sooooo cute!!!
@@SuperEnthused Ok, thanks!
Love your content! Everything looked yummy! Your drink looked so refreshing. I loved your interaction with Donald. Did you see Daisy and Minnie?
Just the three. Loved it all and thank you!!
Yum!
I love your tshirt! So cute and the yellow looks really nice on you.
Thank you Tamara! Had to wear it to show Donald he’s #1!
Love the Tusker House, although when I ate there it was family style. Looks like I might need to check out the buffet now. Thanks for sharing! 🦒🐘🦓
I’m glad it’s back to buffet, so many options!!
Ahhhhhh we’ve been passholders for 5 years and I had no idea tusker house was buffet…
It was so nice getting to meet you in the gift shop!! As we walked out of the park near you my grown kids and DIL was watching me from the corner of their eyes, worried I was going to embarrass them from being so excited to see you again. 😂
Excellent dining review, such fun with you and the characters , and I love how polite and fun you are with them. Your videos are always heart warming and refreshing , they make our whole family smile . Thank you for talking about rides at the end, and for showing the otters the second time! 👏🏼
So happy the otters were so active the second time, and thank you so much, that's so kind!
Super cool! Can't wait to watch with second bfast this morning! And also a big thank you to Sam for explaining the backwards peace sign. They used it a lot in one of my favorite sci-fi series - Red Dwarf. 😉 Loving the podcasts. 💖
-western NY Aimee
Omg yes I remember Red Dwarf!!
Tusker house is really good. What took you so long?
9:57 is that John Hammond? "Welcome to Harambe Park!"
20:01 Tapir
Do you know where the 3 Dinosaurs are on the tree?
The Bruno merch has been out a while, they just don't talk about it 😂
Haven’t ever done the character dining in AK, but now I must!! 😍 happy Wednesday you guys! ☀️
It's a hidden gem for sure!! Happy Wednesday, Ashlyn!!!
Tusker house is great!
Hi, this was a good food review. I heard good things about Tusker house, thanks for your opinion. I love Character Dinning. To me Characters the Disney Magic. Also, looking at animals are always great to. This was great. Be Safe Take Care ❤😊
Totally about the characters - I appreciate them so much for all the energy they bring to make magic for everyone.
Awesome
Great energy Jackie you and them charecters is awesome
They were so cute and fun!
Hey Jackie having a wonderful and sunny 🌞🌞 and bright 😎😎 day this year in the middle of Disney USA weather today is so nice this week relaxing and enjoying Disney park fun day with some friends hanging out the sky is blue and you are a sweet and beautiful t shirt 👕👕 this weekend making a amazing Disney fun video all about Disney tips don't be late for your upcoming RUclips channel this is Jenna Dabao had a super fun long day this season enjoy
I want to bring my best friend to disney so bad bc she has never been. Thank you so much for making this video so I can show her the magic of tusker house (one of my favorite restaurants)
The character dining looks like a blast and I never dined there before either
Thanks for the video! Will you and Sam be putting Expedition Enthused on RUclips? I find that easier for Podcasts. Hope to listen to it soon!
Hi Spencer! Right now we’re just keeping it on podcast platforms. Maybe in the future but for now, we didn’t want to do more RUclips, we wanted to do something fresh and different as a side project. RUclips will always be my main priority tho.
@@SuperEnthused Love both of your channels so I'll figure out how to listen to your podcast on Amazon
Thank you, Spencer, you rock!! If you have Spotify or Apple Podcasts or any of those thingies, you can listen there. I use Apple Podcasts bc I have an iPhone, and I listen to a bunch of podcasts! I love them.
Animal Kingdom seems much quieter and relaxing than Magic Kingdom. The food looks good!
I think the most wonderful thing that came out covid precautions at Disney was the character flotillas on the waterway at Animal Kingdom! It’s so great to to chill out and watch characters go by even without a character meal or long line. We like to do it while eating a snack so we are multitasking. 😉Love your videos! We love Tusker House!
New drinking game, do a shot everytime Jackie says so cute. Extra points if you haven't passed out before the end of the video.
I do not condone this game lol!!!
LIKE ALWAYS …it is FABULOUS
to hang-out with YOU
during my day 🥳 ENJOYING your
Enthuses Adventures 🦥
Animal Kingdom is BEAUTIFUL and
very INTERESTING nature Park
Hope that We will meet one day

BLESSINGs ..Stay Jackie Enthused 🐣
Animal Kingdom is my favorite park. Tusker House is one of my favorite restaurants at Animal Kingdom. I miss going.
I enjoyed watching your video and the food looked super delicious 😋 and the characters super awesome 👍😎 and the roller coasters were breathtaking I just enjoy seeing what Walt Disney has To offer and it's always something new To See And Do weather is new food that you haven't eaten before he have the opportunity to eat it Walt Disney does it all thank you so much Jackie for sharing your video.
I had breakfast here before the shutdown and it was the best meal I ever had on property. We had an early dinner here while it was family style and I was very disappointed. Now that it's back to a buffet, I'm excited to try again for a late afternoon or an evening meal.
You can just see the quality of the food thier. It all looked amazing, thanks for showing us ma'am, are they any bad restaurant's at Disney lol they all look so good
I meant to put this in your last video. I love your sunglasses first of all & totally all for Halloween horror nights!!
Otter 🦦 Grotto
😅
Easy for you to say
Three times fast
And it’s going to be something toadly different 🐸
Hi Jackie cannot wait to watch 👍💚
Tusker House is so awesome. That food is so yummy!!!!
Glad I finally got to try it, it's great!
Looks very interesting! I'd really like to go to Animal Kingdom should I get the chance. I was in Kenya for 9-10 months back a long while back. I'd like to see if it brings back memories!
I love Tusker House 🦁 That was my best friend who was talking to you and Donald. 😊 I always enjoy seeing you at my favorite park 🦍🐯🦓🦒🦏
Kendricksockey missippiss you Tube Disney world 🎉😂❤😢😮😅😊
Amaizing stuff you do the best vlogs alongside Nate /marrow.
I did this on my first trip & thoroughly enjoyed the food & meeting the characters 👍
I love tusker house. That’s a great idea to skip bugs life snd walk under the tree never did that !! ❤
We went to Tusker House for breakfast before Covid. It was so good. Not sure if it’s the same now or not.
Love your videos and your channel keep up the awesome work and be safe out there
Tuscker House is one of me and my families favorite meals because it is so different then all of the other buffets. Great Job on the review and I am glad that you enjoyed yourself. This and Hoop Dee Doo Review are on my must do list each time I go. Can’t wait to get back Home.
It looks like you had a great time! I would love to go back to Animal Kingdom with no itinerary. We didn’t spend enough time there on our last trip.
You’re right Jackie...A Crowd always attracts a Crowd...sometimes I just pretend I’m looking at something and leave...then watch the crowd form😂
😂😂😂
Tusker House is one of my favorite restaurants on property
Excellent as always. Thank you Jackie 🎉
Love those glasses!
My faves!! 💚💚💚
Amazing video Jackie !!
Also just wanna say, love the Podcast from you and Sam !
Love from the UK 🇬🇧 💜
Thanks so much, Andy!!!
Donald _is_ number one, and he knows it! 😂 Animal Kingdom is our favorite of the four WDW parks and we never visit Orlando without stopping in, but Tusker House is one of the few dining experiences in the park that has always eluded us! The theming and character costumes look incredible. For awhile after COVID I think they were doing family style meals and have only recently switched back to the full buffet experience, so we're looking forward to trying the character meal on for size sometime soon! The food looks incredible, especially that dessert plate! Quinoa is definitely a mixed blessing, too, when it comes to living your best culinary life while still wanting to take character photos. 😛 And of course, the best part is that you get to spend the rest of the day at one of the prettiest and best-themed parks in Disney! Love it when the otters come out to play. 😍 Great vlog, Jackie!
Jacket, have you done the Wild Africa Trek? Highly recommend and would love to see you and Sam vlog the experience.
Not yet, but it's on my list for SOON! Always wanted to do it.
I've been to Tusker house so many times and it never gets old no matter how many times i go and the food is the best and the characters are the best.
It's a hidden gem!
I love Animal Kingdom! It’s my favorite! Your photography on this one was Most Excellent!!!
thank you so much, great review
I didn't know about the map in the app. I always get lost in Animal Kingdom.
I always forget about it and since I used it, I figured adding it into the vid might help someone. It gives you walking directions the whole way, it's so helpful!!
Was Harambe named after the gorilla?
Jackie, thanks for letting us know that the buffet is back. I didn't know that. That is good news!
My pleasure!! It makes such a big difference for the experience! 💚
Yeah Tusker House is good.
it sure is!
Great video Jackie. Kay and I enjoyed this tremendously. We always love your restaurant reviews because you do them with such ENTHUSIAST flare.(Disney you really are missing a Gold Mine here. You NEED to be a sponsor for Super Enthused.) Thank you for your wonderful content. You have IT Jackie. The ability to bring us along with you on every adventure. We are just honored to be a part of it. You're the best and our favorite.
Thank you soo much for this tour of Animal Kingdom! I hope to visit some day!! The food looked DELICIOUS 🥰
Meeting Donald Duck seems like some sort of career highlight, and I can well understand why! I do love how you translate the excitement, and give us so much vicarious pleasure - I feel it! Thank you!
Yay for otters!!!!🎉 I watch an otter RUclips channel to relax my mind. They have babies at the moment and baby otters are so cute.
The food looked great and I enjoyed watching the interactions! ❤
Food looks good! I don’t like how much ( as an adult the characters bother you while you eat ! Great for kids though) although I’d love to try the food I think the characters are a HARD pass for me!
Hi Jackie. I always love watching the reactions with Mickey and Friends. It feels Magical with Social Distancing gone with all the Characters. I could spend all day just watching the wildlife. Instead of quinoa, you could have parsley or that annoying piece of ground pepper on your teeth. Stay Cool and keep having Fun on your Adventures.
What a great video, Jackie! Also, your interactions with all of the characters was adorable!
They were so sweet and cute, I really enjoyed it and appreciated them!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful review. It looks like lots of super fun!! Have a very nice day.
The food was so good there I remember
It was! Hope you enjoy the vid, loved the characters and I also walk around Animal Kingdom and see some animals and characters. Hot day, but fun day!
@@SuperEnthused I loved the video and the characters animal kingdom is definitely becoming one of my favorite parks because of the rare characters. Your vlogs are always the best Jackie.
You had me at curry shrimp:)
20:00 that’s a tapir. A relative of horses and rhinos found in Asia and South America.
Thanks, David!
Always crushing it.
That chocolate cookie looked amazing!
Watermelon, lemonade AND vodka! Perfect!!!
Yummy!!
Thank you for showing the animals today. I'm having a rough health day so it was nice and calming to feel like I was apart of this.
@Super Enthused Awsomee ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ #IloveDisneylandParis 💖 #IloveDisneylandSooMuch ❤ #IloveDisney ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Hi Jackie, thank you so much for your video always great contact! I really appreciate your review the Tasker house and especially enjoyed you showing the tortoises and the otters! Oh, I love these creatures 😍and you spent time for us to see them. I don’t recall any other Vlogger spending time for us to see those two lovely animals and OTTERS 🦦 are my favorite, so thank you Jackie, another great video!🎉🎉
Such a great overt the restaurant. I was at the Animal Kingdom park today and goofy was knocking on the window inviting us in. So I thought I was going to be a nice fun experience for my 2.5 year old. Thank you so much for such an awesome video!!! Loved it!!❤
Is tusker house only character dining at breakfast? Or do they do characters at lunch? I think youve gone here lunch time??
My son and daughter in law told you that the pic you took with them was for me!!! 🎉 Thank you so much ❤️ xoxo
The back of the Tree of Life is such an underrated spot! My last family vacation, we took about 30 minutes chilling back there away from the crowds and having fun spotting all the different animals within the tree. It’s a good way to wind down for sure
It’s the best spot, Manda!!!
Hello. My wife would love to know where you got the Donald shirt. Thanks for all the content!
Might have to check this one out.
It’s a good one!
I've tried to find that freakin bridge in the oasis and never can!
I'm a fan of tusker house- have it for my April trip!!
Do you have to enter the theme park if you only want to go to restaurant?!
When my grandson was about 6 or 7, Animal Kingdom was our 1st park on the day after arriving. My grandson was in a terrible mood that morning, but when Mickey came around to our table, he gave my grandson a big, tight hug. My grandson's mood changed immediately. All he needed was a big squeezable hug from Mickey!!! I finally understand that they need a full day of relaxation after travel day, so now I give them that. We swim and relax on our 1st day after arriving.
