The food is great either way!
I always do a Tusker Breakfast - preopen 8:05 am if I can get it. You get to walk through the empty AK, have breakfast with Goofy, Daisy and Mickey in their safari outfits, pose with Donald for a pic....and then get on the first safari of the day (be sure you get your check early so you can leave before rope drop) - when the animals are most active.
