Last month we shared with you about Party of the Planet and all the special events coming for Animal Kingdom’s 20th Anniversary in April. One of those events is Tiffin Talks, six special themed dinners at one of my favorite Walt Disney World restaurants: Tiffins. Today we got some more info about the Tiffin Talks Dining Events coming for Animal Kingdom’s 20th Anniversary.
The Tiffin Talks dining events will take place from April 22 to May 5, 2018, and will allow guest to enjoy the amazing food at Tiffins and listen to some of the experts who had a hand in creating Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park.
Here are the Dates, Speakers and Topics:

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
