Welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
We had a WILD time in the park, so we just have to share it with you! Let’s check out what new merchandise and other updates we can find.
Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Dino Shop
PopSockets fans: there are 2 new ones to add some Disney flair to your phone! One features the Walt Disney World logo with a BUNCH of bright colors. The other one has a silhouette of our pal Mickey and a quote that reads “It was all started by a mouse.”
They’re both $14.99!
Riverside Depot
We found 2 new pins in Riverside Depot! The first is a 5th anniversary pin for Zootopia. It features Nick and Judy with Flash the Sloth. But seriously, where DID the time go? Has it already been 5 years?!
We also spotted a St. Patrick’s Day pin! This one has Donald Duck lookin’ pretty happy with shamrocks on his eyes. His outfit got an all-green makeover, too! Both of these pins are $19.99.
And we got EXCITED because Jerrod Maruyama’s new Kingdom of Cute home collection has officially arrived in Disney World! We saw it in Disneyland and online…and now it’s here! Some of our favorites from this collection include a serving tray with ALL our favorite park icons ($29.99)…
…a Dumbo succulent planter for $22.99 (seriously, we kinda NEED him)…
…and a tumbler with park icons INSIDE the dome ($24.99). We can’t get over how cute and creative this design is.
The whole collection was not at Riverside Depot, but it was nice to see it in the parks! We’ll keep an eye out for more and keep ya posted.
Check Out the Whole Collection Here!
Animal Kingdom Additional Updates
We took a quick lap around the park to check out some wait times for you. They weren’t too bad! Na’vi River Journey was at 50 minutes…
…Flight of Passage was also at 50 minutes…
…Kilimanjaro Safaris was at 30 minutes (We wanna hop aboard and go look for the new baby rhino!)…
…and Expedition Everest was only 15 minutes! Sounds like a great day for a run-in with the Yeti.
And while we were in Asia, we spotted some gibbons having a conversation (argument? Debate?). Whatever it was, they were making a LOT of noise.
Keep on keepin’ on, gibbons!
