PHOTOS: New Lion King-Inspired Costumes Debut at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

Disney has been doing some spring cleaning in their closet and updating TONS of Disney Cast Member costumes around Walt Disney World!

Uzima Springs Pool Bar

Recently, we spotted new costumes at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, Disney’s Old Key West, and at the Boardwalk Bakery. PHEW! That’s a lot to keep track of! Are you picking up a theme here? Well, Disney is still keeping us on our toes and we found ANOTHER updated Cast Member look at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Over at the Maji Pool Bar, Cast Members added a new piece to their ensemble — an apron! And, it’s not any average apron. It’s got animals crawling all over it. The colors are reminiscent of the African sunset with warm orange and yellow colors.

If you look closer at the design on the apron, you’ll notice that they are the characters from Disney’s The Lion King in their Broadway-looking form. There are also all kinds of animal footprints on there so you can spend your afternoon sipping on a cocktail guessing which animal made what footprint!

The new apron is a welcome addition and it’s fun to have more theming throughout the resorts! Stay tuned to DFB because we’re still on the lookout for more new Cast Member costumes!
