food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Entrance
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
It’s almost time to sing “Happy Birthday” to Disney World!
Happy (Almost) Birthday Disney World!
Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary falls on on October 1st, 2021. But, you better start warming up those vocal cords now because, based on what Disney announced, we’ll still be singing Happy Birthday to WDW in 2023?!
We’ve seen some LONG lines lately in Disney World.
Pandora
All four parks hit capacity this weekend, and LAST weekend, the double holiday made for some major crowds. But when we passed the line for Na’vi River Journey in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, we definitely weren’t expecting what we saw.
Did you know there’s a reason why Expedition Everest is just under 200 feet tall? Or that Disney actually uses a specific color to HIDE things they don’t want you to see?
Cinderella Castle
Whether you’ve been to Disney World never, once, or you’re a Disney World expert, there are TONS of things about the Most Magical Place on Earth that will totally BLOW your mind! And today we’re sharing 100 amazing Disney World facts with you!
Take a seat, because we’ve got a LOT of new Raya and the Last Dragon gear to show you.
Tree of Life
It’s been a wild ride for Raya and the Last Dragon in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today. We’ve seen new snacks and experiences around the park and gotten to know some characters while we wait for the movie’s release on March 5th. And now, we’ve spotted some brand-new merchandise on Discovery Island. Let’s get started!
‘Tis the season for shopping! And, Disney World Annual Passholders can experience some unique offerings right now.
Tree of Life
Starting today, Passholders can take advantage of a few extra special deals on weekdays through March 19th in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Many of us are missing Baby Yoda making a weekly appearance on our screen, and now a new Disney baby is making its way to the big screen.
Dino-Bite Snacks
Raya and the Last Dragon will debut in theaters and on Disney+ Premiere Access soon (on March 5th, 2021) and Disney is making all the preparations! Unlike the Baby Yoda merchandise debacle, Raya’s adorable side-kick Tuk Tuk is already taking over Disney World. And, we’re pretty okay with a Baby Tuk Tuk invasion.
It’s a good day to be an Annual Passholder in Disney World!
Restaurantosaurus
Today, Disney kicked off some fun Passholder exclusives in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! These weekday perks include free magnets, special deals, exclusive merchandise, and more. We’d also heard that there were 4 exclusive new drinks, so of course, we headed over to Restaurantosaurus Lounge to try them for ourselves.
We’re getting excited for the March 5th release of Raya and the Last Dragon!
Animal Kingdom
It seems like the Disney parks are getting in the Raya spirit, too! We’ve seen an ENORMOUS sand sculpture (we’re talking 40 tons of sand, people) and some new merchandise. But now, Disney’s celebrating the release with what we do best here at DFB: food.
Many Annual Passholder perks have been suspended since Disney World’s closure, but we’re slowly seeing them return.
Tree of Life
There’s now discounts, exclusive merchandise, and free gear. Pretty cool, right? Well now, another perk has returned. When we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, we noticed complimentary Annual Passholder magnets are FINALLY back!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
