What's New in Animal Kingdom: Construction, Aliens, Yetis, and More!

We went to the Animal Kingdom looking for animals, and instead found aliens and yetis! But, don’t worry, they are super cute!

This little alien is at The Feeding Ground on a straw clip just waiting for you to choose him! Check out these newest straw clips here! They are also found at Pizza Planet in Disneyland!

Discovery Island has been home to construction walls since last April, and most of those walls are still up, however some were finally removed.

When you are heading towards Tiffins or Pandora you’ll notice the walls are down on this pathway. Let’s take a peek behind them.

To our eyes it looks like they are adding some new pathways with a partial wall going up to maybe add more animal exhibits like they have at the entrance to the park.

Isle of Java is making some changes to their menu. The Island Cappuccino, Espresso and Double Espresso have been removed from the menu. While not listed on the menu, the Lion King Cupcake and Apple Cider Donut Holes are still available here.
