Welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
We’re takin’ a look around the park to see what’s new in food, merchandise, and more. Let’s get started!
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Trilo-Bites
At Trilo-Bites in DinoLand U.S.A., we spotted the new Trilo-Bites Twist (aka a Dole Whip in disguise!). It’s Orange Dole Whip swirled with Vanilla Soft-Serve Ice Cream.
This tasted like creamsicle in a cup — perfect for summer! You can try it yourself for $4.99.

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Mariya’s Souvenirs
In Africa, we noticed Mariya’s Souvenirs was BACK open!
It was selling plenty of Lion King merch.
Swing by here if you’re looking for something to celebrate the Festival of the Lion King’s reopening!
Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures
We found a few new goodies inside Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures. We spotted a Stitch t-shirt for $24.99…
…and a kids’ Spider-Man t-shirt for $19.99!
Looks like you may be able to snag some superhero souvenirs here now!
Discovery Trading Post
In Discovery Trading Post, we found the new Stitch hat, which has popped up in a few other places around the parks!
It’s $27.99.
Island Mercantile
If you’re in the 4th of July mood, you’ve got quite a few options for souvenirs! We spotted 3 new U.S.A. shirts in Island Mercantile: a gray design for kids and adults…
…a red, white, and blue tee with the Disney World logo for $36.99…
…and a kids’ shirt for $29.99!
And hey — you can rock these tees for Memorial Day, too!
Riverside Depot
A few days ago, we told you that Disney’s Wishables had gotten a price increase from $9.99 to $12.99 (at least in the parks). Sure enough, at Riverside Depot, we spotted that price change.
You’ll have to snag these souvenirs for $12.99 apiece now!

Animal Kingdom Additional Updates
Last but not least, Animal Kingdom recently debuted a new map!
The biggest change is that The Celebration of The Festival of the Lion King has been added. Otherwise, not too much is new!
That wraps up our visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We’ll be in the parks every day checking out what’s new, so stay tuned to DFB.
