With design cues from a Harambe marketplace, the main buffet room is a colorful and lofty work of art. Wondering eyes looking up and around in any of the Tusker House rooms will be met with African inspired details and photos.
The buffet is split up between different stations… muffins and yogurt with toppings, staters, warm main items, etc. — with the very important dessert station being in the center. Most items are more typical "western-style" breakfast items from a flavor standpoint, with a safari-style visual twist … i.e. the waffles are in the shape of Simba's head (but Mickey shaped waffles are usually available too). There might be a Spiced Hash, Frittata or Bobotie here and there, but nothing too exotic. Most of the desserts are "safari decorated" cookies and mini-cakes, etc.
The characters at Tusker House are dressed in their "safari" outfits and usually include Donald, Daisy, Mickey and Goofy. We have, on occasion, seen Minnie as well. Unless you are speed-eating, you will probably get to interact with each of the characters a couple of times during the course of a meal.
(*) Price ranges listed are the average cost for one main entree and one soft beverage item, unless otherwise stated. There are many combinations of appetizers, deserts and drinks that will add to your final total. Many parks also use seasonal pricing systems which result in food and beverage costs increasing at peak times. Please check with the location that you are interested in for specific pricing information.
