Since its late June 2022 reopening, guests have been served family-style entrees inspired by the flavors of Africa. This will change effective November 1 2022, seeing a return to the pre-pandemic buffet style.

Menu details, pricing and operating hours are still to be confirmed.

They may not have loaded yet due to Disney's IT being Disney's IT;) Check by both B, L, D and times and web and site as it may just be a glitch. Keep checking and good luck

Just tried to book Tusker House for breakfast on Sun January 8 and it's not there as an option. Jan 8 going forward, no breakfast option to click on. Hoping it's just a glitch.

No plain old scrambled eggs for breakfast?

Duh. I was down in the "Allergy Friendly" section.

I'm still seeing "platters."

Recommendation: Get a breakfast as late as possible. You start with breakfast choices and, if you're lucky, they'll switch to lunch options. It's the equivalent of brunch.

The Tusker House menus have been updated to reflect buffet-style dining - https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/animal-kingdom/tusker-house-restaurant/menus/

Garden Grill breakfast was a favourite of ours. Last time we ate there in 2019 we were the very first people to arrive, so they brought all of the characters to our table together and took loads of photos of us. A real highlight.

I agree with your assessment if the family style replaced the buffet. Garden Grill, OTOH, has always been family style and I think its a sleeper favorite character meal. The nature of the rotating restaurant guarantees that the characters stop by your table. I really do miss the family style breakfast and would love to see it return.

They could have done this while I was at WDW last couple of weeks :P

I hope so, and also Trails End at Fort Wilderness. The current offering there is crap. I have tried a few times and will not return until they have the buffet back.

That's my point I guess. I don't want an all you can eat display of the garbage menu they have right now 😂 I want the pre pandemic menu back 😭😭 Tusker was my favorite.
