food IS a theme park
We love finding eats and drinks that help us unwind on a busy day in the park!
Decor at Dawa Bar in Africa
That’s why we love stopping by Dawa Bar in Animal Kingdom! Dawa Bar is a super relaxing spot that has awesome cocktails and awesome bartenders to pour them. We just spotted a new specialty cocktail for Thanksgiving there called the Cape Gobbler and now we’re back to try out a new offering!

If all the prehistoric partying at the Animal Kingdom’s Donald’s Dino-Bash has made you hungry as a Christmas caveman, then we’ve got a solution!

Check out our full rundown of the awakenings, character meet and greets, and performances that have appeared at Animal Kingdom this season.
Yesterday we spent some time in Animal Kingdom to check out the November 8th craziness, and we got to see all the brand new merry experiences in the park!
Animal Kingdom Lanterns
We’ve been on the edge of our seats since we found out that Animal Kingdom would be joining the other three parks with its own BRAND NEW holiday offerings! We spotted the first sign of the celebrations when festive holiday lanterns appeared on Discovery Island a few days ago and now the festivities are finally here! Our fave part you ask? The GORGEOUS life-size puppets!
We’re headed to Animal Kingdom for their biggest holiday celebration ever!
Animal Kingdom this Holiday Season!
This year, the park is getting in on the holiday action with new offerings, decor, and treats! We’ve seen Peppermint soft-serve, and the Christmas lion paw cookie, but if you’re getting just ONE thing at Animal Kingdom during the holidays, make it this!
It’s Christmastime at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and we have been bringing you into the park to show you all the brand new decor and to review all the newly-arrived tasty treats! Check out this festive Lion Paw Cookie we snacked on yesterday!
