Welcome, travelers, to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We have a few updates to share since our last trip to Animal Kingdom, so let’s dive right in with all of the latest news!
Animal Kingdom Construction Updates
We’re keeping a close watch on the signage outside of the Boneyard in DinoLand U.S.A. There is a permit out to update the signage, and on our most recent trip to Animal Kingdom, it looks like the current sign was still in tact.
The Boneyard
We may expect to see some minor construction in the area if this sign is due for an upgrade, so we’ll keep a close watch on this area in the coming weeks!

This next update isn’t necessarily new, but if you’re on the hunt for some Hidden Mickeys, head over to Expedition Everest and go through the standby queue. Once you pass through the tea garden area, you’ll enter Mr Toshi’s shop — look carefully at the cabinet filled with stuffed animal yetis and you may spot one wearing a pair of Mickey ears!

So, there you go! A little construction update and a little Hidden Mickey trivia for ya!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Island Mercantile
We spotted a pair of new Mickey and Minnie t-shirts at Island Mercantile on our last visit! The Mickey Mouse t-shirt is white features his classic look with a sparkly twist!

Yak & Yeti Bhaktapur Market
Over at Yak & Yeti Bhaktapur Market in Asia, we came across a big lion plush! We aren’t quite sure who has room in their suitcase for this fella, but we were equally as perplexed by the price!
This lion may need his own seat on the airplane ride home!
This Melissa & Doug stuffed lion costs $99.99! If you’re in the market for an oversized lion toy, you may find a better deal online!
What a WILD discovery!
This would definitely be quite the conversation starter at the airport on your trip home.
