Yak & Yeti/Donald's Breakfast Safari /Tusker House ADR's [Merged Threads]

[ElenitaB]

This article was pubished in the most recent issue of DVC's magazine, Vacation Magic:

What time is it when a yak meets a yeti? Meal time! (At least for the yeti.) This fall, meal time goes Himalayan with the opening of the Yak & Yeti Restaurant inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. This Asian-fusion concept from Landry’s Restaurants (propietors of the Rainforest Café&#174 will feed Guests at the foothills of the “forbidden mountain” in the mythical village of Anandapur.

The venue’s storyline revolves around one of the Anandapur’s wealthiest merchants, whose faltering finances have forced him to turn his private home into a public hotel. Revenue form the hotel’s restaurant will be critical to helping the owner support his upper-crust lifestyle, evidenced by the expansive collection of artifacts displayed throughout his property, from sculptures to tapestries to 900-pound puppets. (Tat’s right, 900-pound puppets. Rich people have all the fun.) More artifacts dot the landscape outside, where fountains and a scared stone river add ambience to an open-air seating area and beer garden.

Beyond table-service dining, the two-story facility will include a quick-serve option and a Pan Asian retail shop offering everything from purses and incense to saris and teapots. (No word on whether the inventory will include giant puppets.)

While some details of the restaurant’s menu remain in development as this edition of your magazine goes to press, the proprietors have confirmed that smoked yak legs won’t be one of the specials. (Despite campaigning from some pretty frustrated turkeys.)

As of 7:50am on 09/24/07 - still not taking ADRs and still no "definite" date - I couldn't even get a "very soon" or "soon" out of the reservationsist, just "call back..."

Thanks! You saved me a phone call!

I was able to make an ADR today for Donald's Safari Breakfast for our December trip. The CM said they are calling it the Tusker House Character Breakfast.

I apologize that I didn't think to ask about the Yak & Yeti until after I hung up the phone so I'm not sure about that.

[BRJARE3]

Just wanted to let you know that they are now accepting reservations for the Tusker House. I was able to get one for Nov. 27th. Yeah!

[JWDisneyFan]

I just got one for the Tusker House Breakfast on Dec 12th - The CM I talked to said that they just opened it up today and are taking lots of calls about it! For the day I wanted, the morning was wide open!

[Eeyore's Pal]

I got mine too!

If you get a castmember who says they are not available yet, they may have to reboot their computer. Some of them logged in before the update took effect.

I am SOOOOOO glad I saw this thread today!! I had called yesterday about the Tusker House character breakfast, and was told no ADR's were being taken yet. I was going to wait a couple weeks to call back. Good thing I didn't!

I called today and got the time I wanted on 12/14 (8:15 am). WOO-HOO!!!

[KronkHere]

Just made my ADR for 11/23 - The CM told me the entire morning was wide open and I had my pick of times...Also, the CM confirmed the characters to still be Donald, Daisy, Mickey, and Goofy.....but as always they are "subject to change"

51 days and counting

I JUST CALLED THE DINING HOTLINE AND SPOKE TO A WONDERFUL CM NAMED ROBIN AND SHE SAID THE TUSKER HOUSE WILL BE OPEN NOV 16 AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR DONALDS SAFARI BREAKFAST FOR NOV 28 AT 8:05

[tyandskyesmom]

Ooohhh, i gotta get right on that when I get outta here!

Hey, does anyone have a guess on what type of buffet Tusker House will be? Maybe an inside connection? I mean I am wondering if it is going to be along the lines of Boma at AKL. I'm sure it wouldn't be exactly like it but Boma is a big draw...do you think they will replicate in in AK? All meals are buffet, right? But characters are only at Breakfast, right? I think I need a lunch ADR...

97 more days!!!!

That's great! Make sure that you post a dining review when you get back.

[Eponine]

I was able to get my date/time I wanted to for December 9th.

Looking forward to trying something new.

[rcaide]

I just called and got mine for December. I tried to make them last night, and the CM said they were not accepting them yet. What a difference a day makes

[tyandskyesmom]

I just booked lunch at 11:30am at Tusker House on 1-2-08...no wait on hold and tons of availability.

No news on Yak & Yeti.

Fisher was very nice but awefully pushy...and I am wondering about his knowledge bank...I was asking about noting the ADRs that we will be celebrating Tyler's 9th birthday for the duration of the 13 days and he did not quite sound like he knew what I was talking about. Very nice though!

I made my reservation today as well for 8:05AM on the Nov. 29th for the Tusker House Character breakfast. Glad that I checked this board because on another website it said that reservations would not be taken until 11/16. I could have read this wrong as I have a really bad day at work.

At least something went right today.

[LoriMistress]

Tusker House and Donald's Breakfast Safari now accepting ADRs as of 9/26/07.

Just made my ADRs for 12/13 for DBS for 8:05am!

I did ask about Yak and Yeti and as of today, they were NOT taking ADRs yet.

[amorillo]

Made my ADR for January 28th at 8:05am!!! For our group of 11!

Only 121 days to go!!!!

of course, I'm also waiting to hear any news on Yak & Yeti... be sure to let us all know as soon as anyone hears anything!!! I love this place!

[SurferStitch]

That's my birthday!!

Have an extra Mickey waffle for me, okay?


When I was making my ADR for Tusker House, I asked about Yak and Yeti. The CM said he heard that it would actually do a sort of soft opening in early December, so who knows?
