food IS a theme park
We stopped by Animal Kingdom this week to round up all the latest news for you! We found lots of menu updates and changes and some great new merchandise! So, let’s get to it…
Animal Kingdom Entrance
If you’re looking for that adorable Simba Cupcake while you’re in Animal Kingdom, your best bet is to head to Pizzafari since it is no longer in the Creature Comforts bakery case. We did spot the Caramel Mocha and the Lotus Blossom cupcake in the lineup though!
Our next adventure in the parks took us to Animal Kingdom on the search for new food, new merchandise and any updates for you!
Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life
We were excited to see and say “welcome back” to a cupcake friend featuring Lion King‘s Simba as our day in the park started at Creature Comforts.
Hello from a rainy Animal Kingdom! The rain might have kept a few people away… but not us 😉 ! Umbrella in hand, we explored the park and found all the new items, changes, and more for you!

Hello from Animal Kingdom
We love how relaxed this scene makes us feel — before we dash around the park! Here’s everything we found this week.
We just showed you the cute-as-a-button Snowman Ornament Drink Holder in Animal Kingdom… and today we’re BACK at Animal Kingdom to show you two more holiday souvenirs! One is a Disney parks tradition, and one is brand new this year. Let’s start with the new Gingerbread Mickey Straws!

This souvenir straw ($4.00) is swirled to resemble a peppermint stick, and a smiling Gingerbread Mickey is clipped right on! [Read more…]
Halloween means lots of cool Halloween themed items in and around the parks like the Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket, Poison Apple Glow Cube, Halloween Themed Resort Mugs and the Headless Horseman Straw Clip.

The famous Poison Apple has been casting its spell in Disney World and Disneyland over the past several years during Halloween in several forms from Poison Caramel Apples, to Poison Apple glow cubes, to a new Not-So-Poison Apple Cupcake. And this year, you can scare up the latest incarnation in Disney World’s Animal Kingdom: it’s the Green Poison Apple Stein!

Though in previous years the stein has been available in red, the green is making its debut in Animal Kingdom. We spotted ours at Mahindi (also known by its previous name, Harambe Popcorn), but it should be available at various outdoor snack locations throughout the park. [Read more…]
The Animal Kingdom called out to us and we had to visit this week! We found so many new food items AND new merch that we had to make our regular “What’s New” into two posts! We’re tackling food first, of course!
Welcome!
(this park’s Starbucks location) is offering a new Strawberry Cake Pop that we think is smiling at us! It’s really delicious if you’re a strawberry fan!
