- 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!!
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
Hi Jackie cannot wait to watch 👍💚
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!!!
Great energy Jackie you and them charecters is awesome
They were so cute and fun!
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 video ! There’s nothing cuter than sea otters!
great video my friend
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!
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 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)
Amaizing stuff you do the best vlogs alongside Nate /marrow.
We love Tusker. Breakfast is the best!
Watermelon, lemonade AND vodka! Perfect!!!
Yummy!!
Tusker House is so awesome. That food is so yummy!!!!
Glad I finally got to try it, it's great!
Ahhhhhh we’ve been passholders for 5 years and I had no idea tusker house was buffet…
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!
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 those glasses!
My faves!! 💚💚💚
Excellent as always. Thank you Jackie 🎉
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!!
Fabulous meeting characters ❤❤❤
One of the best I think, Mary!
@@SuperEnthused 🙄I would have cried lol
Animal Kingdom is my favorite park. Tusker House is one of my favorite restaurants at Animal Kingdom. I miss going.
Wonderful vlog as always thank you.
Hope you're having a happy Wednesday!
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!
Animal Kingdom seems much quieter and relaxing than Magic Kingdom. The food looks good!
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😂
😂😂😂
The character dining looks like a blast and I never dined there before either
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!
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!
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!!
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.
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 🥰
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! 💚
You had me at curry shrimp:)
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.
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!
Those cast members are awesome 😎🥳
They truly, truly are - they bring the energy and it's contagious!
I did this on my first trip & thoroughly enjoyed the food & meeting the characters 👍
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.
Always crushing it.
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
and ENJOY sharing Fl Disney Parks Time
BLESSINGs ..Stay Jackie Enthused 🐣
That chocolate cookie looked amazing!
Tusker House is one of my favorite restaurants on property
Great video Im so glad I found your channel . Keep the awesome vlogs a coming .
I love tusker house. That’s a great idea to skip bugs life snd walk under the tree never did that !! ❤
I meant to put this in your last video. I love your sunglasses first of all & totally all for Halloween horror nights!!
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!!
Love your videos and your channel keep up the awesome work and be safe out there
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 🦍🐯🦓🦒🦏
Thanks for sharing this wonderful review. It looks like lots of super fun!! Have a very nice day.
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!🎉🎉
Looked like a fun outing and love to see how the Characters respond and interact.
They do such a great job, really gotta ‘‘em credit for being so sweet and making everyone feel special.
Amazing video Jackie !!
Also just wanna say, love the Podcast from you and Sam !
Love from the UK 🇬🇧 💜
Thanks so much, Andy!!!
Yay for otters!!!!🎉 I watch an otter CZcams 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! ❤
thank you so much, great review
My son and daughter in law told you that the pic you took with them was for me!!! 🎉 Thank you so much ❤️ xoxo
Cool! Thank you!!
Just love the ending montage in all your vlogs!
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.
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!!❤
I love Animal Kingdom! It’s my favorite! Your photography on this one was Most Excellent!!!
Awesome video Miss Jackie as always especially when you got to see the Otters my wife loved that part 😊
This is fascinating video!
Awesome
Yeah Tusker House is good.
it sure is!
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'm a fan of tusker house- have it for my April trip!!
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!
Thanks Jackie! My grand girls were there in august (7 &9)-loved it! I think they did breakfast,said it was best character time.
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.
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 😂
Might have to check this one out.
It’s a good one!
Thank you soo much for this tour of Animal Kingdom! I hope to visit some day!! The food looked DELICIOUS 🥰
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!
We went to Tusker House for breakfast before Covid. It was so good. Not sure if it’s the same now or not.
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.
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!!!
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!
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.
Yum!
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.
20:00 that’s a tapir. A relative of horses and rhinos found in Asia and South America.
Thanks, David!
Otter 🦦 Grotto
😅
Easy for you to say
Three times fast
And it’s going to be something toadly different 🐸
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.
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.
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! ❤️😊
Ughhh this makes me want a buffet meal
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.
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. 😂
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 CZcams channel this is Jenna Dabao had a super fun long day this season enjoy
Thanks for the video! Will you and Sam be putting Expedition Enthused on CZcams? 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 CZcams, we wanted to do something fresh and different as a side project. CZcams 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.
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!!!
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!
Hello. My wife would love to know where you got the Donald shirt. Thanks for all the content!
I've tried to find that freakin bridge in the oasis and never can!
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!
Was Harambe named after the gorilla?
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!!
