Although most things in Disney World have returned or reopened, there are still a few spots that remain closed.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Soon, though, we’ll see popular entertainment return to the parks (we’re looking at you Fantamic! and Festival of Fantasy Parade!), and there are a few restaurants we get to visit for their reopenings in the coming weeks! Disney recently announced the reopening dates for several restaurants including the fan-favorite Jiko at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
If you’re looking to dine at Jiko anytime soon, you’re in luck! The restaurant officially opens on February 17th, but reservations are available starting TODAY!
Jiko is reopening soon!
At Jiko, you’ll find plenty of unique menu items including Moroccan Lamb Shank, Seafood Tagine, Oak-grilled Filet Mignon, and so much more!

If you’re planning to eat at Jiko, we highly recommend making a reservation to guarantee your meal there. Reservations opened up early this morning, and availability is already slim for the first few days that the restaurant is open. You can make a reservation through either the Disney World website or the My Disney Experience app.
