It is hard to leave Disney World without at least one souvenir to remember your trip!
Rose Gold Minnie Ears
We have all been guilty of carrying that iconic blue castle plastic bag through the airport on our flight home because we bought too many souvenirs. There is nothing wrong with that; we get it—Disney World has cute merchandise! If you were wondering what souvenir you should pick up on your next trip to Animal Kingdom, the Disney Food Blog team agrees that one souvenir reigns supreme!
Animal Kingdom is unique compared to the other three parks. For starters, it is the largest of the four parks and is home to about 2,000 animals from 200 species! You can even take a safari inside the park!

While there are tons of great souvenirs located all across the park, including general Disney World merchandise, ride-specific merchandise, and Animal Kingdom merchandise, we love to get a souvenier that is unique to the park we visit.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We are huge fans of all the safari-themed merchandise around Animal Kingdom. You can find a safari hat, Mickey ears, and an adorable Minnie Mouse safari Loungefly backpack. While we love these, there is another souvenir that we find to be perfect, and it fits into the safari theme!

There are so many cute plushies, and Disney has even rolled out Cuddleez and weighted plush. We are big fans of the adorable Mickey and Minnie Safari plush!

They both look so cute in their little safari outfits.

Whether you snag just Minnie, Mickey, or both, they are a great way to remember your time in Animal Kingdom. Plus, you can even meet Mickey and Minnie dressed in their safari best over at Adventures Outpost located on Discovery Island!

I bought my Mickey Safari plush doll when Animal Kingdom first opened; mine has khaki colored outfit which I like much better than the green one. Yes, it is a very- much loved keepsake.
I always get an ornament as a souvenir. Port Orleans French Quarter had a beautiful glass ornament last Christmas with Tiana (we love that resort!). I never miss going to Animal Kingdom Lodge where I try to add to my collection of carved African animals. Last trip I got a black sable antelope and an okapi! This year I got the striped Mickey head ornament and a Mickey wreath pin plus the large Sorcerer plush Mickey (I miss the hat at Hollywood Studios). And, of course, a tank top or t-shirt somehow always makes it into my suitcase ☺
