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

They could certainly offer something similar to Fantasmic dinner package where reserved seating would be part of it.

Thats probably why they redid the Flame Tree restaurant?

Flame Tree seating will have a view of the backside of water during the show. It certainly won't be premium seating. But they could offer some form of picnic meal with reserved seating at the lake, similar to World of Colour.

I expect Fantasmic style dining packages with a meal at Tiffin's or Yak & Yeti followed by reserved seating in the arena on the lake. And maybe a Picnic deal where you collect a meal from Flame Tree and then get reserved seating. Then FP+.
If they wanted to have a restaurant with a view of the show it would need to have been built in front of Everest.

Then what is all the work down where the Character landing used to be complete with barges etc?

Are you thinking of the work at Flame Tree BBQ?

Exciting news, but the exposed duct work is disappointing.

Do the other buildings in 'Discovery Island' have exposed duct work? If so, it's probably to keep with the theme of the area (though with more subtle earth tones).

The important thing is to *clean* the ductwork... If it's in guest view, you clean it.

I just hope they dont end blocking 90% of the seating area for just the dinner reservations. Fantastmic is beyond ridiculous.

The new Starbucks has exposed ductwork:

The new Starbucks:

That looks... not good.

agree!
honestly, when I seen the picture..
I imagined those fast food franchise mexican restaurants, not african

 

[halltd]

Well, Starbucks isn't in Africa. It's on Discovery Island.

 

[Next Big Thing]

Well, Starbucks isn't in Africa. It's on Discovery Island.

It's not in Africa, but it's right at the border of the lands and clearly takes on a look seen at AK Lodge.

the style on the pillars looks like African Masai warrior shields.

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

I've been to Uganda on a church mission trip. I can assure you the colors and look around the Africa section are authentic.

Didn't read all 12 pages... but I am sure a ROL Dinner package with reserved seats will be offered for extra $$$. Did anyone see or post a menu yet?
AK is our favorite FULL DAY park now, we often spend 2 days there... we love all the changes coming to AK!

Because of my schedule several weeks ago, I gave it short shrift on my checkout day. Won't do that again.

The new Starbucks:

That looks so cool. The nicest Starbucks I've ever seen.

Sorry...OT, I know.

 

[raymusiccity]

Well, Starbucks isn't in Africa. It's on Discovery Island.

We were eating at another location and were reminded that there are no lids on drinks to cut down on litter and to protect the wildlife.

We mentioned it to a CM that we found it odd that if lids aren't allowed, why are all the Starbucks drinks presented with lids ! ?

 

[ford91exploder]

The new Starbucks:

I like it, The masai inspired lights are my favorite touch in this picture I also like the soaring celing

 

[dstrawn9889]

because they would rather have to fish a lid from around a ducks neck, then a wuss complaining about hot coffee down their front

Photo update as of Thursday, Dec. 3. To augment @wdwmagic's news post today, here is a closeup of new construction as of today. Large wooden beams are being attached to the "round" structure in the back. Appears to be a roof overhang for the view overlooking the river.
