Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Animal Kingdom!

And, we’ve got some food and merch updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

One of our FAVORITE cupcakes disappeared for a bit in Animal Kingdom (and we were totally bummed out about it). While we were SO excited to see that the Cotton-Top Tamarin Cupcake has returned to Creature Comforts, the previous version got a little makeover…

…to the new Cotton-Top Tamarin Cupcake! The big dark and white chocolate piece that we LOVED has been replaced by a smaller white chocolate disc with a picture of a cute l’il cotton-top tamarin on it.

However, the flavors are still similar with a chocolate cake with chocolate filling and a buttercream frosting on top (which is just as delicious!). You can get the Cotton-Top Tamarin Cupcake for $5.99 or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit. And, you can even try the Bee Cupcake if you want double the treat! 😉

Check out our full review of the returning Cotton-Top Tamarin Cupcake here!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Riverside Depot

Even when you’re out of the parks, you can make every outfit fabulous with the Mickey and Minnie Plush Purses (umm, adorable!!). Mickey is winking at everyone to let them know you’re obviously the coolest…

…along with the super-soft exterior that’s cozy enough for guests of all ages!

Minnie, on the other hand, has a big smile (probably laughing about one of your great inside jokes) with her signature bow!

You can carry the purse around with the fancy red shoulder strap…

…while you put all your Disney goodies inside the bag! You can get the Mickey and Minnie Plush Purses for $24.99 each (but we totally want both of them).

Although the Yeti might seem a little scary on Expedition Everest, he’s all warm and cuddly with the Yeti Loungefly Backpack!! Just look at that little grin!

You can take him with you on your adventure through Asia…

…before you pick up some supplies on the way (obviously, we mean stock up on some snacks!). You can take home the snuggliest Yeti around for $80 at Riverside Depot!

Trek on over to see the Yeti Loungefly Backpack here!

The Boneyard Merchandise Cart

Call us nostalgic, but we love walking by The Boneyard to spot all the kids exploring the area! And, the grown-ups can even pop by The Boneyard Merchandise Cart for everything your traveling party needs.

While the cart has featured the Disney Tails Collection before, the line has become the highlight of the cart with lots of gifts for your pups back home! You can pick a new collar, harness, toys…

…bow ties, a pair of Minnie Ears…

…spirit jerseys, rain ponchos, and more!

 

And, make sure to celebrate your VERY good boy or girl back home by wearing some Pluto merchandise too (since our pups are our best friends)!

Discovery Trading Co.

Wishables are some of the cutest plush toys around the Disney Parks, and we just can’t get enough of them!! Discovery Trading Co. is making Wishables even cuter with the latest Wishables Necklace!

Although it’s not big enough to fit an actual Wishable, you can carry around the bb Mickey as your newest friend for $14.99. ‘Kay, we’re officially obsessed.

Well, that’s all for this What’s New at Animal Kingdom! We’ll catch you next time for more merchandise and food updates here!
