We have new treats, menu updates, and fun merchandise to share with you, so let’s get started!

Animal Kingdom Food Update

Asia

Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks

has introduced a new Rainbow Push-Pop! The treat consists of rainbow layers of strawberry cake and strawberry buttercream and is topped with rainbow sprinkles.

We really enjoyed this colorful (and beautiful!) treat, which you can grab for $4.99 or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit.

Sweet & Sour Tempura Shrimp

is BACK on the menu at Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe. You can get this meal, which comes with jasmine rice, for $13.99, but only for a limited time!

Discovery Island

In Discovery Island, Creature Comforts was featuring the new Rafiki Cupcake for $5.99 or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit. We also spotted this new treat at Restaurantosaurus in DinoLand U.S.A.

At Tiffins, The Lion King dessert has replaced the Guava Mousse on the regular menu, but the Guava Mousse is still available on the Lunch Tasting Menu.

Africa

During our last visit to Animal Kingdom

, the Shave Ice Cart was nowhere to be found. Instead, they were selling the Shave Ice from the old Ribs Shop window in Harambe Market. This time, the cart was back near the seating area.

Pandora — The World of Avatar

In Pandora, the ACE Mobility Cart has added a cheese and cherry danish to the morning offerings for $4.25.

Multiple Locations

Various popcorn carts around Animal Kingdom still had The Lion King cups, canteens, and popcorn buckets during our visit.

Animal Kingdom Construction Update

Discovery Island

While we were on Discovery Island, we noticed that a small construction wall popped up in the area where they have Winged Encounters. We aren’t entirely sure of the purpose of this wall, but we confirmed that the show is still happening while the wall is there.

In Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, we spotted an Oogie Boogie shirt ($24.99) that we recently found in Downtown Disney.
