The Animal Kingdom’s Tasting Sampler has returned for a third run this winter.
Good morning from Animal Kingdom, friends!
Animal Kingdom
We recently found ourselves at the park quite early (trying to get on Flight of Passage TBH), and in need of a breakfast to fuel our wild adventures. We decided to head to the Yak and Yeti Local Foods Cafe, located in the quiet village of Anandapur. That’s right — we traveled all the way from the planet of Pandora to Asia, just for breakfast. (Talk about dedication. 😉 )
It’s been a wild ride since the Avatar film came into our lives 10 years ago! Can you believe how time flies?!
Pandora
So wild, in fact, Disney’s wildest theme park is celebrating the tencennial of the film that served as inspiration for one of its most popular lands, Pandora! Find out what they’re doing for Avatar here!
And the holiday cupcakes just keep on rollin’ in!
Christmas Tree at Animal Kingdom
Here’s the thing folks, there’ been A LOT Rise of the Resistance stuff happening today and a TON of breaking Disney World news to report on, but don’t get your tinsel in a tangle — we’re still all about dem EATS! Afterall, we’re DFB, bb!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating the holiday season in a BIG way this year!
Polar Bear Puppet
And while we love hangin’ around the Tree of Life holiday mural, Donald’s Dino-Bash (which has a holiday overlay!) and seeing Animal Kingdom’s unique Christmas decorations throughout all of its lands (including Pandora!) if you’re anything like us, it’s all about the Merry Menagerie puppets!
Animal Kingdom’s celebrating Christmas for the very first time this holiday season with a ton of new stuff — including this gorgeous Tree of Life Awakenings mural we can’t stop staring at!
Animal Kingdom Holiday Mural
Based on the new holiday version of Tree of Life Awakenings, this mural teases the wonder and magic that will appear when the tree comes to life each night. And while we’ve been snapping photos with the wall constantly (yeah, we’re a little obsessed!), now there’s new a way to take a piece of this lovely mural’s artwork home with you!
Look who just danced in from the Pride Lands! That’s right, it’s our Lion King BFF’s Timon and Rafiki!
Timon and Rafiki Meet and Greet
And guess what? They’re doing meet-and-greets in Disney World!
Namaste from a very relaxed DFB team in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
The Tree of Life
Between soaring on the back of a Banshee, barely escaping carnivorous dinosaurs, and going on a two-week safari, we were beat! So we decided to pay a visit to one of our favorite places to relax: the Nomad Lounge!
