Harambe Market Ready to Reopen - January 30 2026
Posted: Friday January 30, 2026 10:20am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Construction walls have come down at Harambe Market in Disney's Animal Kingdom as the quick-service location nears its February 5, 2026 reopening.

Stanchions have been set up in the central area to accommodate a greater volume of guests as the location shifts to becoming the park's main burger, fries and chicken option following the closure of Restaurantosaurus on February 2.

Harambe Market will use Mobile Order when it opens, eliminating the need for guests to queue at registers. The new configuration focuses on order pickup and streamlined service.


The stanchion setup in the central area appears designed to manage pickup queues rather than traditional ordering lines.

Capacity Replacement for Restaurantosaurus

The changes come as Disney prepares to close Restaurantosaurus, the park's high-capacity quick-service location, on February 2. That restaurant will make way for the Tropical Americas expansion.

Harambe Market's updated menu and queue configuration position it to handle the increased demand for burgers and chicken strips that Restaurantosaurus currently serves.

Menu and Pricing

The reopened Harambe Market will feature a simplified menu focused on burgers, chicken strips, and wraps:

  • 1/3 lb Angus Bacon Cheeseburger - $13.99
  • 1/3 lb Angus Cheeseburger - $13.29
  • Chicken Strips - $10.99
  • Harissa Chicken Wrap - $10.99

All entrées are served with french fries.

Kids' meals start at $7.29, and the Kubwa Cookie dessert is priced at $5.29.






Refurbishment Details

Harambe Market closed October 20, 2025 for refurbishment. Work included updating the kitchen with frying capabilities and making changes to the kiosks to support the new menu.

The location is scheduled to officially reopen February 5, 2026, three days after Restaurantosaurus closes.

But enough about Restaurantosaurus…

Just plain junk food with absolutely no nutritional value. What an absolute disgrace.

( Thinks this over…. ) People go to a theme park themed to animals and the environment. They enjoy seeing the animals. They enjoy learning about the animals. Then they complain there are no food options so they can eat animals. ( Contemplates ….) 🤔 - -

Would we be happier if they called them ostrich nuggets and wildebeest burgers? I’d destroy that burger, through tears, chanting “this is for Mufasa.”

You can make high quality chicken tenders and burgers. It doesn’t need to be frozen crap.

Can Pizzafari be adjusted to accommodate burgers and tenders? Not enough space? It's only open during lunch and is in a far more prominent location than Harambe Market,. I'd like the idea of Harambe Market offering non-traditional fare along with it acting as a test kitchen for future DAK eats.

Oh thank God. I was afraid people would be forced to eat at Pizzafari.
