food IS a theme park
What’s your favorite way to celebrate in Disney World?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Halfway to Halloween has begun, the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company has taken over the parks, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating Earth Day AND its 25th anniversary this week! Here at Disney Food Blog, we love the FOOD that comes along with these celebrations. Soon, there will be some very limited-time treats to try for one of these special occasions.
Happy Earth Month from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

There are some SUPER exciting things happening in this park throughout April in celebration of Earth Day (or Earth Month as Disney would say!), and that means exclusive treats and activities galore! Plus, new merchandise abounds, so let’s check out everything that’s NEW in Animal Kingdom.
Happy Earth Week, DFB friends!
Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been celebrating all month long with sweet treats, special experiences, and visits from rare characters. We even found a new beer! But if you just can’t get enough of Earth Week, there’s a new photo spot where you can mark the occasion.
Earth Week is here! Now that the biggest week of Earth Month is upon us, with Earth Day on April 22nd, there’s never been a better time to take advantage of the Earth-centric activities, snacks, drinks, and limited-edition merch at Disney World!Â
This cupcake was almost too cute to eat… almost!
One of the best spots to celebrate this eco-friendly holiday is at Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s Conservation Station, where we found a couple of fun activities the whole family will love!Â
Ladies, gentlemen, larvae of all stages…

It’s Earth Day, so that means it’s time to PARTY Disney style! While we’ve been earning our Wilderness Explorer badges and watching all the best conservation movies on Disney+ (Wall-E has our hearts), you’ll be as happy as a honey bee with these new Loungeflys!
It’s time to show some love to our Mother Earth because it’s Earth Week, friends!
Let’s Celebrate Earth Day!
April 22nd is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the 25th anniversary of the Disney Conservation Fund. And, Disney is celebrating all week long with a look at Animal Kingdom’s animals, fun activities, and more!
In honor of Disney World’s Limited Time Magic events for “Earth Week,” guests have access to a few new “earthy” treats in the parks!
The best one, in my opinion, is the Worms & Dirt Cupcake featuring a teensy flower pot on top!
My good friend Daniel Wanderman has been touring the parks this week and was lucky enough to get a taste — check it out! (Love the choice of setting here, Daniel — The Victory Garden in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!)
The perfect place for Worms & Dirt! The Victory Garden in Disney's Hollywood Studios!
Here’s what Daniel has to say…
The worms & dirt cupcake debuted today at Fairfax Fare on Sunset blvd. This fun cupcake honors Earth week by mimicking the traditional “worms in dirt” dessert with a few twists. This one takes a chocolate cupcake and tops it with a ring of frosting. But why stop there?
The frosting is powdered with cake crumbs (dirt!), chocolate sprinkles (more dirt?), and garnished with gummy worms, a candy flower pot, and chocolate candy flowers. The best part is a delicious chocolate pudding surprise inside.

As a vegetarian and avid gelatin avoider, I pushed the gummy worms and sprinkles aside and dug right into the pudding center. The pudding was cold and delicious, which was quite refreshing on a hot, humid, park hopping Disney day.
It reminded me of the My-T-Fine pudding mom used to [Read more…]
