Best TS in or Near AK?

[goldenears]

If we wanted to watch the Jammin' Jungle Parade at AK and head to dinner after, which TS would you suggest? I guess somewhere in AK or at the AKL would be our best bet, but we have never eaten at any TS restaurant in either place.
We will be travelling with young kids ages 1, 2 and 5, but none are picky eaters.

I am no WDW dining expert but we are going to TuskerHouse for our TS at AK. We have a 6:35 reservation the night we are going. Our kids are 9,8 and 5. No characters will be there but I think we will have a good experience.

Without Kids - Jiko at AKL

We ate at the Tusker House buffet in AK last month and it was great! There were a lot of different selections and the dessert table was awesome! My 5 year old DD ate more here than anywhere else on our trip!

What about the new Yak and Yeti?

 

[DisneyGirlie]

Yak & Yeti is really good if you want to stay in the park. I love the atmosphere and the server we got was so friendly and the food was pretty good too. If you don't mind going to AKL, I highly reccomend Jiko. We do it every trip and the food is delicious and the service is fantastic.

We enjoy Boma and Yak & Yeti when we are going to be near or in AK

Thank you for your responses! I would love to try Jiko, but we are going to be doing the DDP and I think it is 2 TS credits, which I will already be doing at CRT and want to try to avoid doing it again. Looks like my best bets would be Boma, Yak and Yeti or Tusker House. If anyone has opinions on which is better, I would greatly appreciate it! Also, if we want to watch the parade at 3:45, could we make a 5:00 ADR in the park? What time would you make the ADR if leaving to go to Boma?

The AKL restaurants are very good. If you wish to stay closer to the park I have two suggestions.
For buffet - Tusker house. It has been renovated and remodeled. The food is wonderful!
For Sit Down - Rain Forest Cafe.

We had a terrific meal at the newly remodeled Tusker House for lunch. For dinner I understand it is the same menu only pricier! It was really good, and original. I believe Boma has more offereings and the AKL is pretty cool to explore- but if you just wanted to make life easier, staying in the park I highly suggest TH.
