food IS a theme park
Remember this guy? 🙂
Lion King Simba Cupcake
The Lion King Simba Cupcake made its mark in Disney’s Animal Kingdom waaaayyy back in 2014. So it was fun to see it back at Pizzafari and Creature Comforts today. [Read more…]
Hello from a rainy Animal Kingdom! The rain might have kept a few people away… but not us 😉 ! Umbrella in hand, we explored the park and found all the new items, changes, and more for you!
Hello from Animal Kingdom!
Here’s everything we found including new sweets, menu updates, new merchandise, and the arrival of the 2019 Walt Disney World mugs!

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. 🙁
In August, a new dining experience debuted at Pizzafari. This Animal Kingdom Counter Service spot began to offer Pizzafari Family-Style Dining in the evenings.

For a set price of $19.99 for adults and $11.99 for guests ages 3-9, guests can enjoy a prix-fixe menu including appetizers, entrees, and dessert, plus their choice of non-alcoholic beverage. (You can read our full review to learn all about the meal inclusions here.) [Read more…]
A brand new dining experience has just made its debut at Pizzafari!
Plzzafari is a Counter Service restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Located on Discovery Island, this spot is best known for its unique and colorful atmosphere, as well as its primary food item as highlighted in the name: PIZZA.
It’s always operated the same way you’d expect at any Counter Service location: place your order and pay at the register; pick up your food at a counter; then bring it all to whatever table you manage to find, depending on how busy it is in the moment.
But now — from 5:00 – 8:00 PM daily — a new service style is available. Though daytime will continue to offer the typical Counter Service experience, the evenings now ALSO present Pizzafari Family-Style Dining!
Let’s see how this works…

Now, if you’ve ever paid a visit to Pizzafari, things will look quite similar at first. In fact, the typical counter service operations also still take place in the evening, so guests seeking the regular meals here still have that option. [Read more…]
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.

You can’t miss Pizzafari when you’re trekking through Discovery Island in Animal Kingdom. This brightly colored restaurant serves up Counter Service pizza, and it’s in what’s become a very popular area in the park, as it’s by the pathway that ends up bringing guests into Pandora — The World of AVATAR.
