Hello friends, and welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

We’re taking a quick trip around the park with ya to check out everything exciting in food, merchandise, and more. Let’s get started!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

Nomad Lounge

First, we stopped by Nomad Lounge to try their new Sweet Corn Soup! That comes with Cheese Sauce, Lobster Meat, a Jalapeño, and Sweet Corn.

Now, this is a kinda weird to assemble (it’s kind of like a BYO soup!), but it was SO tasty and super creamy. Not to mention, that wacky presentation was fun! You can snag it for $14.

Zuri’s Sweets Shop

And over at Zuri’s Sweets Shop, the theme of the day was strawberry! We spotted several new strawberry eats, like a Mickey Cookie…

…and Krispy Treat.

Both were $5.49 apiece and pretty yummy — but you’ll wanna be a strawberry fan to really enjoy them.

But that wasn’t all! We also grabbed the new Key Lime Pie Krispies Treat.

This one’s got a Key Lime Pie-flavored krispies treat center with a tiny dollop of icing on top and Mickey sprinkles! This was SUPER heavy on the Key Lime, so be warned! But if you’re a huge fan of that flavor, you can order this for $5.49.

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Riverside Depot

Time to check out some merch! At Riverside Depot, we spotted a new Lion King-inspired terrarium pin for $19.99. Check out Timon just loungin’ around!

And if you or your kiddos are slap bracelet fans, you’ll want to know that they’re currently $7 apiece when you buy 3.

Lastly, we saw the new Stitch headband!

It’s fuzzy and prettyyy comfy, with SUPER floppy ears. You can grab it for $24.99!

Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures

Next, we stopped by Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, where we found a new Wishables lanyard. It features Pooh, Conductor Goofy, Ariel, Olaf, and so many other favorites!

And like many other locations around the park, there’s a mask sale here.

Select styles are buy 1, get 1 free!

Animal Kingdom Additional Updates

Lastly, we’ve got a few random updates for ya! First of all, the sand sculpture on the Discovery Island Stage has been removed. Guests are now using it as a spot to catch a break from the sun!

And over at Serka Zong Bazaar (that’s the Expedition Everest gift shop!), the entrance-only and exit-only signs have been removed from the doors. Guests can now come and go whichever way they’d like! We’re seeing more and more of this as Disney World continues to reduce social distancing.

Well, that’s all from Animal Kingdom for now! We’re in the parks every day checkin’ out what’s new, so stay tuned to DFB for more updates.
