food IS a theme park
Happy holidays from Disney World — it has been a BUSY week!
Holiday decorations in Animal Kingdom
In the past few days, we’ve visited Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, eaten a lot of gingerbread treats, and checked out several Christmas trees popping up around the parks. But what has been happening in Animal Kingdom? We’ve got a roundup of everything that’s new!
Everybody likes to talk about the snacks that you can get in EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, but there’s one Disney World park whose food game is going under the radar…Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom
Seriously, this park has some pretty amazing snacks that you’re probably walking right past. And recently, we stopped by to try out one of our old favorites and see if it’s still as good as we remembered!
It’s no secret that Disney World is constantly changing and adapting to the times!
Disney World has been through some big changes!
Over the last 50 years, we’ve seen updated rides, changed restaurants, the addition of new hotels, and even new theme parks get built. As technology and culture evolve, Disney World does its best to keep up, and so we get theme parks that are VERY different from what they were a few decades ago. But what about those guests who haven’t been in a few decades — what do you need to know about the changes? Well, today we’re breaking it down for you!
To those who skip visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we simply ask…WHY?!
We’re back again!
This week, we had an absolute BLAST in the park, trying out some new food, enjoying the entertainment, and checking out a newly returned behind-the-scenes tour. There were a lot of new things to see, so if you didn’t get to stop by, we’re sharing the full list of news with you!
When it comes to Disney World, there are a LOT of opinions out there.

Ask 10 different Disney fans what their favorite ride, snack, and park are and we guarantee that you’ll get a wide variety of different answers. Well, it’s no different here on the DFB team! We’ve got some very weird (and very strong) opinions about Disney World, and today we’re sharing them with you!
It has been a HUGE week for Disney World news, with information on Disney Genie, restaurant reopenings, and things coming soon to the parks.
The Disney parks have had a big week!
But there have also been quite a few exciting things to notice in the parks themselves! Today we’re taking you along on a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new over there.
UPDATE: All rides in Animal Kingdom reopened later in the day.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been encountering some hiccups lately.

And we don’t just mean bad weather or long lines. Recently, we reported that a power outage shut down about half the park, including popular rides like Expedition Everest and DINOSAUR! And now, it seems to have happened again.
Over the years, we’ve seen a lot of ride closures in Disney World!
The PeopleMover was closed for a LONG time!
There are the typical ones, where rides close for weather-related issues or to get a routine refurbishment. But, we’ve also seen rides close for more unusual reasons, like lightning strikes or because a family of ducks decided to move in. Today, several rides closed down in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a very unexpected reason!
Clap your paws, stomp your hooves, and ruffle your feathers, because we now know when Festival of the Lion King will be returning to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
The show was incredibly popular before the parks closed in March of 2020, but like much of the live entertainment, it did not return when the parks reopened. We later heard that many of the show’s performers had been laid off. Then, earlier this year, Disney announced that Festival of the Lion King would be coming back, and now we know exactly what day that will be!
When it comes to Disney souvenirs, we feel like we’ve seen it all!
Animal Kingdom
Disney has managed to sell Minnie ears, mugs, tees, home decor, and everything in-between at their theme parks. Some of these things are popular and some not as much, but most of the items we see are pretty typica…except for what we saw in Animal Kingdom today!
