food IS a theme park
While Disney’s Animal Kingdom has transformed into a winter wonderland filled with new holiday decor, entertainment, and treats lately.
Animal Kingdom
Today we stumbled across a totally unexpected and new classic treat addition! We’re talkin’ about the Simba Pretzel, people!!
Hey everybody! It’s time for another roundup of What’s New in Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom
This is where we roar about all the lastest foods, drinks, merchandise and events we’ve spotted at Disney World’s WILDEST park this week! There’s much to discuss, so let’s get started!
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.
Cuties® are America’s original clementine brand. And a visit to the Cuties website reveals that Cuties® have been announced as the Official Citrus Fruit of Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort!

So keep an eye out for Cuties to pop up at all sorts of food locations around the parks this fall. Think especially of better-for-you-fare spots like Prince Eric’s Village Market in Magic Kingdom, Anaheim Produce in Hollywood Studios, Harambe Fruit Market in Animal Kingdom and the like. Cuties will also be available as a side option for kids’ meals at select Counter Service restaurants. Guests will also see other Cuties branding in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and in Disneyland Resort. [Read more…]
Hey, guys! We’re back with another DFB Video this weekend, and we’re taking you on a Food Tour of Animal Kingdom’s Africa!
Mickey in Safari Costume at Tusker House
Animal Kingdom’s Africa is a stunning area in the park both visually and culturally. But it’s also home to some seriously delicious Animal Kingdom eats!
From dining with Mickey and friends at the park’s Character Meal at Tusker House to visiting one of our favorite bars in Disney World, to enjoying a Dole Whip (with or without RUM), Animal Kingdom’s Africa has a ton of bragging rights when it comes to food. But all those things I mentioned only scratch the surface, so we’d love it if you’d join us on a Food Safari… I mean, Food Tour in Animal’s Kingdom’s Africa! [Read more…]
Sure, there’s plenty of new stuff to check out at Animal Kingdom these days, what with Pandora — The World of AVATAR still less than two months old.
Welcome to Animal Kingdom!
But we’re starting our tour around the Park with the return of an old favorite… [Read more…]
Are you ready for another trip around the World? We’ve got lots of new eats, treats, and Gaston-themed Feasts coming at you for this round of What’s New (along with a peek at a lot — and I mean A LOT — of stuff to come!).
We’re kicking off our latest jaunt at the most Magical of All Kingdoms…
A recent visit to the Magic Kingdom revealed changes and additions — both big and small — to Counter Service spots all over the park.
Greetings from Magic Kingdom!
But the one that might just take the cake (CUPcake, that is!) is the new Donald Duck Vanilla Cupcake at the Main Street Bakery! [Read more…]
We are on the hunt today for some refreshing snacks at Walt Disney World!
Fortunately, the parks host a wide range of places where you can score fresh fruit and veggies. When I’m in Magic Kingdom, I love to see what’s new at Liberty Square Market, and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a stop by Anaheim Produce will net you some good fresh finds.
At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, I head for Harambe Fruit Market!
Harambe Fruit Market
Clearly we can see that this place is right up my alley — just look at their liberal use of exclamation points!!!!!! ;-D

Harambe Fruit Market offers a really good variety of [Read more…]
Today, we are sharing with you some brand new treats that we’ve discovered at one of our favorite spots in Animal Kingdom, Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery!
Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery Sign
This tiny spot has a huge cult following (and I’m right at the front of the line) for their amazing baked goods, like the White Chocolate Elephant Cupcake and the Paw Print Brownie.
But they’ve just debuted a couple more snacks that have me counting the days until my next Disney trip!
The fantastic new treats go beautifully with the already stellar (though limited) list that you could find there previously. Some of the items are available all day, while others are only available in the afternoon.

Let’s take a look at a couple of the new items!
First up — a pastry that is perfectly named for noshing at Animal Kingdom. That’s right, folks, we have Elephant Ears for you today.

Thanks to one of our readers, we have a mini-review of the new food happenings at Disney’s Animal Kingdom — including a vegetarian cart in Asia, and fresh-cut fruit bowls at Harambe. And just wait until you see the gorgeous fruit salad at Tamu Tamu Refreshments…
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has introduced several yummy new treats this Summer! We’ve told you about the brand new Sundowner Celebration already, and here are a few other new additions for those trekking through this gorgeous theme park in Walt Disney World!
As we announced on our Disney Food News Pin Board this week, Bradley Falls Egg Roll stand has changed its menu.
It now offers Summer Rolls (a different recipe than was there before), an Asian Noodle Salad, a Lychee Salad, and Fresh Edamame!
The Asian noodles are sweet, sour, and spicy with fresh broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and red pepper with a hint of sesame oil. The dish is garnished with black sesame seeds and green onion!
Asian Noodle Salad
And Bradley Falls has a yummy-looking fruit salad, complete with pineapple, mango, grapes, blueberries, kiwi, and lychee! Pretty amazing looking, eh?
