Hey DFB friends! We’re back with all of the latest updates from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

We recently took a trip to Animal Kingdom to see what new treats and treasures we could find! Let’s take a look at all of the latest food, merchandise, and construction updates since our last visit!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

Creature Comforts

We found several new tasty Halloween treats in Animal Kingdom, including the Scar Cupcake at Creature Comforts!

Scar Cupcake at Creature Comforts

This red velvet cupcake is filled with toasted marshmallow and topped with chocolate marshmallow frosting, chocolate krispies, white chocolate flames with green coloring, and an edible Scar topping. You can snag this baddie for $5.99!

Check out our full review (plus more photos!) of the Scar Cupcake!

Isle of Java

Our Halloween treat trail continued at Isle of Java where we found the new Spooky Apple Punch! 

Spooky Apple Punch

This non-alcoholic concoction is a mixture of Sprite and Monin Apple Syrup, and it’s garnished with a rocky candy apple straw, gummy worm, and a sugar lime rim. You can grab this drink for $5.99, or $9.99 if you choose to add a Poison Apple Glow Cube! You can also get this drink at Flame Tree Barbecue.

Check out our full review of the Spooky Apple Punch!

Flame Tree Barbecue

Speaking of Flame Tree Barbecue, that’s where we found the new boozy Halloween beverage, the Rotten Apple!

Rotten Apple

This drink is made with Angry Orchard and Fireball Cinnamon Whisky and it’s garnished with a Poison Apple Glow Cube and gummy worms. You can give this drink a try for $15 — and the price of this one DOES include a glow cube!

Multiple Locations

While neither of these is a brand new addition, we did spot the Purple Cauldron Popcorn Bucket…

Animal Kingdom Construction Updates

Wilderness Explorers

Wilderness Explorers is an interactive experience where kids can complete activities and collect badges throughout Animal Kingdom.

Wilderness Explorers

We spotted Cast Members placing new social distancing markers on the ground near the registration post as we walked past it in the morning.

Distancing Markers for Wilderness Explorers

Wilderness Explorers has been available since the park reopening if you or your kiddos want to take advantage of this free Animal Kingdom activity!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Mombasa Marketplace

We spotted the new Halloween face masks in stock at Mombasa Marketplace.

Halloween Face Mask

These designs are made with a different fabric than the original Disney-branded masks, and the new fabric has a lighter feel.

Halloween Face Mask

The face masks are available for $6 each.

Island Mercantile

When we first arrived at the park, Island Mercantile was closed, but the store was opened by noon.

Island Mercantile Sign

We asked a Cast Member about the hours at Island Mercantile, and they informed us that the store should be operating with the same hours as the park “soon,” although they weren’t sure exactly when this will take effect.

Multiple Locations

Who’s ready for a Disney deal?? We spotted Goofy’s Candy Co, Chip & Dale Snacks, and Chocolate Factory packaged treats on sale for buy one, get one free!

Packaged Snack Sale

Guests are able to mix and match for the sale.

Snack Sale

We also noticed the same sale happening in other parks as well!

Halloween has officially arrived at Disney World and we are SO here for all of the spooky snacks! We’ll continue to check out the parks to see what other new arrivals make their debut, so stay tuned!
