food IS a theme park
Although Disney World reopened in the summer, there are still many dining locations that remain closed.
Harambe Market
However, we’ve slowly seen dining locations reopening, including Cinderella’s Royal Table, Chefs de France, along with others.
The holidays have officially arrived at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with beautiful decorations, character cruises, and gorgeous nighttime projections.
Tree of Life
But that’s not all that’s new in this wild park! Come with us on a virtual tour around Animal Kingdom to see what new merchandise, snacks, sippers, and MORE we spotted all over!
The Simba Pretzel made a triumphant return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in August, after having been unavailable for a few weeks upon the park’s initial reopening. But then…
Simba Pretzel
… at the end of October, we noticed the snack had vanished from its two usual spots in the park: Harambe Fruit Market and Thirsty River Bar & Trek Snacks. Today, however, brings happy news that the Simba Pretzel has returned (to one of his two usual locations, in any case)! [Read more…]
You know, it was just a few days ago when we were sippin’ on a seasonal drink at Isle of Java in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Peppermint Hot Cocoa
On our last visit, the Limited Offerings included four drinks: three flavored Hot Cocoas (we tried the peppermint!) and a Gingerbread Latte. But now? The list has grown to include FIVE Limited Offerings… and we are happy to tell you that the addition to the list is Irish Coffee! [Read more…]
We’ve seen lots of holiday cavalcades, eaten tons of holiday snacks, and started collecting all kinds of adorable holiday merchandise!
Santa Cavalcade at Animal Kingdom
Some of the things we’ve seen released for the holidays this year in Disney World are brand new, but others are returning favorites — like the adorable snowman sipper we found today!
We love stopping by the newly-reopened Fossil Fun Games over at DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
DinoLand U.S.A.
We’ve slowly started to see more carnival game booths opening up over the past few months, and we even noticed there’s now a new place where you can buy game tickets! Today, though, we noticed another booth had reopened!
Halloween may have just happened a few days ago and Thanksgiving is around the corner, but it’s the beginning of November which (in Disney World) means the holiday season has begun!
Holiday Decorations
So hoop-de-doo and dickory dock, we’re making our way around Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a wild, festive adventure! We’ve already spotted some animal lanterns and beautiful decorations around the Discovery Island area, the holiday Starbucks mug, and TONS of adorable merchandise we’ve totally added to our Christmas list. Join us on this trip to Animal Kingdom to see what other festive fun we find that you won’t want to miss out on!
Sing along with us! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Holiday Decorations
On a recent trip to Animal Kingdom, we noticed that the holiday decor had already started to arrive. And now, the gorgeous lanterns and animal decorations have received even more company as the park continues to get in the holiday spirit!
Is it still spooky season? Are we just skipping Thanksgiving this year? Is Christmas starting right now? It’s 2020, so basically anything goes at this point.
Bakery Case
If you thought this bakery case was confused as to what holiday it is, just wait until you see the “holiday” drink we found in Disney World. It’s a “holiday” drink for sure, the problem is it just can’t decide which holiday it’s celebrating!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is so much fun — it’s part theme park and part zoo!
Animal Kingdom Tree of Life
And we LOVE seeing all the animals, especially the cute little baby animals born at the park. But one part of the park where we could see smaller animals has been closed since Disney World reopened.
