After our amazing safari, it was time to head over to Tusker House for our New Year's Eve breakfast.
When you check in, you wait for a few minutes for your table. You also take your picture with Donald Duck! Tusker House is a character breakfast, and you'll see Mickey and Friends dressed in their safari finest.
Hello, Donald!
Here's our check in ticket, noting our time and the date.
A hostess comes out, calls your name, and then you're escorted into the dining area. As you walk in you'll see a large open room with various breakfast food stations - if you leave hungry, it's your own fault! Traditional breakfast fare is available, as well as more "exotic" offerings. It's SO GOOD.
I also liked that the buffet stations are split up into smaller stations, so you don't have to stand in line for a long time to get to the items you want. Also, it breaks up the crowds so even though there were a lot of people eating breakfast at Tusker House that morning, the buffet never felt crowded or overwhelming.
Of course, in true Disney fashion, the difference is in the details.
When you're seated, your server takes your drink order and then you're free to go to the buffet. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and milk are included with your meal.
The characters also come around to your table, and stop for a picture and/or autograph. We saw Mickey, Daisy and Goofy!

We then got our check taken care of, and headed on our way! With the Magic Bands, you can also use them as your charging privileges so you don't have to carry around your wallet. The server brought a barcode scanner to our table, scanned my band and that was it! Very fast and easy. He brought us the receipt to sign and then we were done.
We really enjoyed this meal. It was pricey (about $30 per person before tip) but the food was very fresh, there was a lot of variety and the service was excellent. They didn't rush you at all, but the cast members and servers kept things moving, so that all the characters had a chance to come to your table during your meal.
Character meals are a GREAT way to see your favorite Disney friends; no standing in line at a park, they come right to your table!
After our breakfast, we decided to walk around, burn some breakfast calories and explore the park.
See you next time!
