food IS a theme park
The Animal Kingdom is always a fun park to visit, and this week’s visit kept us busy with lots of new items including #Mickey90 ears, some fun Christmas gifts, new food, and construction updates.
Hello from Animal Kingdom
We love how relaxed this scene makes us feel — before we dash around the park! Here’s everything we found this week.
A new wave of Starbucks Tumblers is hitting the Disney World parks, and we’re starting with the Animal Kingdom Ceramic Tumbler which you can find at Creature Comforts — the park’s Starbucks location on Discovery Island.
Animal Kingdom Hot Drink Tumbler
The current Animal Kingdom tumbler design features Safari Mickey, the Tree of Life, nods to attractions like Kali River Rapids, Expedition Everest, and Kilimanjaro Safaris, as well as the park’s star residents: the animals! [Read more…]
We’ve shown you Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios (along with Toy Story Land) all dressed up for the season, now it’s time to highlight the Animal Kingdom. Their Christmas decorations are always fun to see as they incorporate themes from the park attractions and regions represented in the park. Plus, while we were taking in all the decorations we found some new menu updates as well as some must-have merchandise!
Christmas Greetings from the Animal Kingdom
Whether this is your first or 10th visit to Animal Kingdom during Christmas be sure to take some time to look at the ornaments on the tree at the entrance to the park. They are both representative of the park, and also feature some favorite Disney characters!
A trip to the Animal Kingdom is always wild for us as we find so many updates each week! Find out what we found in new menu items, seasonal treats, and merchandise this week!
Hello from the Animal Kingdom
The first thing we found were updated ticket prices at the ticket windows. 🙁
We occasionally hear chatter from readers who think Walt Disney World kicks off the Halloween season too early. After all, the first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party was on August 17 — 2.5 months before the actual holiday and, really, still in the throes of a sweltering summer in central Florida (not unlike today). But one thing you’ve gotta give the Disney Parks props for is providing plenty of seasonal snacks to keep us interested. 😉
Enter this Halloween Cupcake, spotted all over Animal Kingdom!

Fall Flavors are popping up all over Disney from sweet treats in the parks to the WonderFall Flavors program in Disney Springs.
Not to be left out, Animal Kingdom has joined in on the fall flavor bandwagon — much to our delight!

We spotted (and tried) some fall treats in two spots in the park! [Read more…]

We’ll start our tour out where we always to – on Discovery Island.
The Animal Kingdom called out to us and we had to visit this week! We found so many new food items AND new merch that we had to make our regular “What’s New” into two posts! We’re tackling food first, of course!
Welcome!
(this park’s Starbucks location) is offering a new Strawberry Cake Pop that we think is smiling at us! It’s really delicious if you’re a strawberry fan!

Good news for coffee lovers out there who don’t want to stand in a Starbucks line for a cup of regular brewed coffee – the hot dog cart located near Pizzafari and Tiffins now has coffee available starting at park open and is typically available until around 1pm.
