Jambo everyone!
We’re constantly making our way around all of the Walt Disney World theme parks to see what’s new. Today, we’re talking a walk around Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new. We’ve got wait times you WON’T believe, info on some upcoming treats, llama merch(?!), and some awesome photos around the park. Join us on this wild adventure!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Flame Tree Barbecue
Over at Flame Tree Barbecue, we didn’t spot any Valentine’s Day treats just yet. We’ll definitely keep checking back to see if anything new and festive pops up here.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Riverside Depot
Over at Riverside Depot, we found those fun 101 Dalmatians 60th Anniversary Pins.
If you’re looking to snag some great plushes, we also spotted a deal going on where you can get plush characters for $22 each when you buy 2.
Expedition Everest Gift Shop
We also spotted some fun llama themed items at the gift shop that is at the exit of Expedition Everest. Yes, that’s right, you can fully embrace the fact that you are the llama queen with these items.
You can even get a llama themed “sprazy toy” which is described as a “crazy water spraying toy!”
Disney’s Animal Kingdom General Updates
In terms of general updates, we found that the crowds were VERY low during our visit to Animal Kingdom.
There were lots of times where we found there was no one (or very little people around).
This was true over in Pandora…
…in the Rivers of Light seating area…
…and in various spots throughout the park!
And the wait times definitely reflected those low crowds.
We’re talking 10 MINUTES(!!) for Avatar Flight of Passage…
…and essentially a walk-on over at Expedition Everest.
Over by Restaurantosaurus, some Cast Members had a bit of fun with this dino, apparently named Timmy! Timmy was out there helping guest and wearing his mask just as is required in Disney World.
And that’s all for us from Animal Kingdom! It was a nice, relaxing day with low crowds and lots of space around us to enjoy the beauty of this park.
Where will we be off to next? Stick around and check out all of our posts to see all the latest!

Hi! Where are the dates of your blog posts? I can never find them. And always wonder if these are up to date posts.
