food IS a theme park
Did you know that this weekend marks a BIG milestone for Animal Kingdom?
Welcome to Animal Kingdom!
April 22nd is not only Earth Day, but it’s also Animal Kingdom’s birthday, and this year it’ll be turning 25! Disney has lots of fun things in store for the weekend, which is why you’ll want to book those park pass reservations right now so you don’t miss out!
We just finished celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and celebrations recently kicked off for The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary…but what about another big milestone?

This year, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is turning 25 on Earth Day, and we’re excited to see what offerings are available. We already got a few details about the celebration (including learning about a new character meet and greet!), but now we’re ready to share even MORE updates.
It’s no secret that we love trying new Disney food. We are Disney FOOD Blog, after all.

It’s been an eventful week in Disney World for foodie news. There’s a NEW menu at California Grill that we had to try, Narcoossee’s has reopened with a whole new makeover, and TWO Disney restaurants were recognized by Michelin Guide. But this week we also tried THREE new snacks around the parks, and we had some thoughts.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating Earth Day with some new treats!

Animal Kingdom will also be celebrating its 25th Anniversary on Earth Day this year. So basically, it’s an exciting time to visit this wild park. We recently tried a limited-time snack here that was covered in bees (in a good way) and now, we’re back to try another snack!
Earth Day is just a few weeks away and you know what that means…special Earth Day celebrations are coming to Disney World!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom park will actually be celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year on Earth Day — April 22nd, 2023. In the past, we’ve seen special snacks and more released in honor of Earth Day/Earth Month. But now we’ve got FULL details about all of the eats and drinks you’ll be able to enjoy in Disney World in honor of Earth Day. Let’s check it out!
Earth Day has ARRIVED in Disney World, and a great place to celebrate nature and animals is Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! Disney celebrates holidays big and small, including Earth Day, with specialty treats and more.
Animal Kingdom Lodge is STUNNING!
Today, we’re headed to The Mara in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to try a FUN new treat! WALL-E fans, you’re gonna like this one. 🌱
During your visit to Disney World, it’s pretty standard to find yourself in a coffee line or two — whether it be Starbucks or Joffrey’s.
Starbucks Coffee
If you’re a Starbucks fan, there’s a BIG change coming to the coffee giant and it could mean FREE COFFEE for you! You might remember when Starbucks announced its intent to phase out paper and plastic disposable cups, giving every customer the ability to get their order in a personal reusable cup by 2023. Now, it seems that the initiative has started!
The earth deserves some love — it is our home, after all! Luckily, our second home, also known as Disney World, is celebrating Earth Day (and Animal Kingdom‘s birthday), so now’s the time to grab a (reusable) fork and dig into a new dessert as we celebrate the special event this month!
Tree of Life
But, the newest Earth Day treat isn’t where you might expect it! You’ll have to head over to Disney’s BoardWalk for the new earth-inspired CUPCAKE!
There’s one holiday that Disney’s Animal Kingdom celebrates better than ANY of the other Disney parks.
