food IS a theme park
We’re steppin’ out in Animal Kingdom today to see what news the day brings!
Discovery Island
January can be a slower month around Disney World, so updates tend to be a little more few and far between. Animal Kingdom definitely doesn’t have TOO much in the way of new stuff going on, but they do have a new cocktail and isn’t that enough? For us, yes! Here’s everything new in Animal Kingdom in food, construction, and merchandise!
Hey, friends! We’re back with another What’s New in Animal Kingdom.
Tree of Life
Here, we will explore the latest food, construction, and merchandise updates happening around Disney’s Animal Kingdom. So hop on board as we journey through the vast news jungle.
We’re fond of Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom due to their consistent delivery of hand-crafted cocktails and adventurous bites! It is a favorite amongst us all here at DFB!
Nomad Lounge
If you need a little refresher, The Nomad Lounge is conveniently located on the pathway towards Pandora. You’ll find it attached to Animal Kingdom’s Signature Restaurant Tiffins. It’s easily accessible from Discovery Island, Africa, and Pandora — but we enjoy it so we’d even make the trek across the park!
Namaste from a very relaxed DFB team in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!Â
The Tree of Life
Between soaring on the back of a Banshee, barely escaping carnivorous dinosaurs, and going on a two-week safari, we were beat! So we decided to pay a visit to one of our favorite places to relax: the Nomad Lounge!
Hey everybody! It’s time for another roundup of What’s New in Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom
This is where we roar about all the lastest foods, drinks, merchandise and events we’ve spotted at Disney World’s WILDEST park this week! There’s much to discuss, so let’s get started!
We all know which restaurants are popular at Walt Disney World. They’re the table-service ones that are nearly impossible to get an advance dining reservation at or the counter-service spots that never have any tables open so you end up eating your food on top of a nearby trash can (no judgment — we’ve all done it!).

But what about some lesser-known Disney World dining options? We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite underdogs; the restaurants and menu items that most park guests often overlook. Here are our top 5 things that people aren’t eating at Disney World, but oughta try!!!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is busy getting ready to welcome otters to their new otter grotto. Plus, we found some new chocolate donut holes, a new Disney World Parks tumbler, and more on this week’s visit to the park!
Animal Kingdom Otter Grotto Construction Progress
There are some new signs up in the under construction otter grotto area. And that isn’t all we spotted in this area.
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 day in Animal Kingdom was jam-packed with new food, menu changes, construction, and more. But, our favorite part of the day was stopping at the Donald’s Dino-Bash Dance Party and hearing the DJ play Monster Mash and other Halloween songs mixed in with regular pop songs!
