We’ve got an update for ya straight from Disney World!
Animal Kingdom
We spent the day in Disney’s Animal Kingdom yesterday doing our best to hunt down all of the latest news! Without further ado, here are all the updates in food, construction, and merchandise!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Dino Diner
Let’s start with the food updates! Over at Dino Diner in Dinoland U.S.A., we spotted a new closed sign. The old one did not give menu items at the other locations. This change makes it a little bit easier for folks to find the lunch items they’d like.

Restaurantosaurus Lounge
Nearby at Restaurantosaurus Lounge, we heard tell of a new secret menu drink — the Tealasaurus! Aptly-named, right?
Tealsaurus
This $13 drink is made with Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey with blue curaçao, triple sec, lemon juice, and lemonade.

Zuri’s Sweets Shop
Looking for a seasonal treat? Zuri’s Sweets Shop had the Valentine’s Red Velvet Cupcake we’ve spotted around the parks.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Construction Updates
Pandora
On the construction front, we noticed some updates in Pandora. A new section of the pathway was blocked off as Disney continues to do some repainting of the bioluminescence.
