Today we’re heading into Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

The Tree of Life

Disney World has been pretty busy lately with treats celebrating 2023, new merchandise, and upcoming changes to nighttime shows in EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. While we wait for some of those changes to happen later this year, we’re keeping you updated on what’s happening day to day in the parks, and today we’re talking all about Animal Kingdom.

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

Flame Tree Barbecue

Starting us off in Animal Kingdom we have to talk about the latest snack we tried in honor of the New Year. This New Years Cupcake was a Chocolate Cake with Cherry Filling, Amaretto-Flavored Frosting, Chocolate pearls, and a Chocolate 2023 Mickey Decoration. 

Yum!

While this cupcake was delicious, we can’t emphasize enough how sweet it was! This cupcake was only available on December 31st and January 1st so it is no longer available for purchase. It will likely return next year (we’ve seen it in years past as well).

Read our full review of this cupcake here.

Creature Comforts

We also spotted this Holiday Mousse at Creature Comforts.

Looks yummy!

It was also a limited-time offering for $7.99.

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Riverside Depot

When it comes to shopping, Animal Kingdom didn’t have a ton of new things for us this week! First, we found this Grape Cotton Candy from the 100th Anniversary Collection for $8.99.

Cotton Candy!

This wasn’t the only piece of 100th Anniversary merchandise we found though. We also found this grey kids’ onesie from the same collection for $24.99. We also found a Purple Youth Onesie which is also a part of the 100th Anniversary collection for $24.99. 

How cute!

If you’re looking for more Minne Mouse, we’ve got you covered! This Minnie Mouse Long Sleeve Shirt was $39.99 and we thought it was so cute.

We love Minnie!

If you’re more of a princess person, we also found a new item for you. This new Moana Tumbler is $22.99.

How cute!

You can find all of these items at Riverside Depot.

While that was all we found in Animal Kingdom this week, you can be sure Disney was still as busy as ever with New Year’s Eve crowds! Remember to keep following DFB for all of your Disney World news and updates.
