Tiffins - A new table service restaurant coming to Discovery Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom

[Smiddimizer]

My question is will they be offering "Breakfast at Tiffins"?

As I recall I think we both kinda liked it.

The best description of the Pizza served at Pizzafari is a chord of a circle almost but not entirely unlike pizza (with apologies to Douglas Adams) the Calzones were surprisingly good however the pasta is hit or miss, If it's fresh it's great if not well...

Now THERE is a place I want to go visit at least once.

Actually, this is Disney. Signature means very, VERY expensive. Probably 2 table service credits. Likely shooting for Brown Derby quality (definite step up from most theme park sit downs, but a step below the best hotel eateries).

I'm getting the feeling that the AK guest has a more adventurous palate then the MK guest...

Yes which is why Tusker House and Sanaa/Jiko are always must visits when at WDW.

That pizza is horrendous, just like that of Pizza Planet at DHS. That said, I don't know if they introduced the (much better) flatbreads when the restaurant reopened a few days ago or if they are still the same.

It looks like the pizza has been changed. But it's not the flatbreads.

Did they shrink the size of Pizzafarri during the renovation?

anyone know why they are dumbing down the colors of the buildings to solely earth tones?

Because the mid-90s bright color scheme was dated and garish?

You could split Yak & Yeti into two entries (since it has kinda separate table service and counter service) and add Creature Comforts (Starbucks) but... yeah, I don't get that complaint. DAK needs a bunch of additional food places with the upcoming additions and expanded hours.

For many parts of africa that kind of paint scheme is actually pretty authentic, Here's an example in Somaliland taken by Kelly Ranck yes Somaililand is a real place it was forced into a union with Somalia

You can get pizza and pasta at Pizzafari. There are ribs, chicken, and pork at Flame Tree. Standard park fare of burgers, chicken nuggets, hot dogs and fries are available at Restaurantasaurus. Even Tusker House has mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, etc...

I think DAK does a great job of having "normal" food as well as "themed" food to fit in with the park atmosphere. Don't forget all the food stands with a range from fresh fruits, allergen-free food, and soft-serve ice cream.

You're being very liberal with what you're calling pizza.

It was also very Safari Village. This is more Discovery Island. Only took a bit more than a decade.

I also wonder if the inside stayed the same. I really liked the color scheme and theming inside.

That's not anywhere close to what anything on Discovery Island looked like.

Merely stating that what we consider a garish paint job is actually authentic to most of Africa I suspect Joe Rohde has pictures of villages which do match the color palette used

With my comment I was more specifically talking about table service restaurants. There is often a pretty big quality difference between the sit down places and the counter service locations (Flame Tree being the exception - the food there is good). If you want an indoor table service meal but are a picky eater, DAK has limited options.

What should something on Discovery Island look like?

I'm not saying it should look like anything, but that it never looked like that photo. It used to look like a mid-90s vaguely African themed mall. I like the changes that have been made.

Now if they can rip out DinoRama, this park would be in fabulous shape.

I just saw over on OTPN that Tiffins will open along with the RoL show, night safaris and other night time entertainment, in Spring 2016.

It makes it seem as thought all of these other offerings will be debuting around the same time in the Spring which would be so nice.

 

[French Quarter]

I'm cracking up at the name, but I am happy that a signature is opening in AK. I wish it was opening sooner.

Sounds fabulous! I am excited that AK is getting more dining options at all but especially excited about the type of menu offerings Tiffins might have and that it's a signature.

Thanks for the info.
