Welcome back to another roundup of What’s New in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
We didn’t find too many new items during our latest park visit, but we will tell you all about the things we did find, including a new popcorn bucket!
Let’s get started.
Animal Kingdom Food Update
Discovery Island
As we mentioned in our most recent What’s New in Hollywood Studios post, fall drinks have returned to Starbucks locations! When we visited Creature Comforts, we tried the newest addition to the fall drink lineup — the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.
The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew features vanilla syrup, and the foam you’ll find on top is a pumpkin cream foam made with actual pumpkin purée!
While we loved it, this may not cut it for those of you who like really sugary drinks, since it is a cold brew. You might just want to ask for some extra vanilla syrup to sweeten it up!

Various Locations
We spotted a trio of Halloween-themed collectible items at various popcorn carts in Animal Kingdom!
We found a purple cauldron popcorn bucket at both the Feeding Ground and Mahindi, where a Cast Member told us it costs $17. This spooktacular bucket lights up on top just like the green version did last year!
At The Feeding Ground, we also noticed the super cool purple poison apple stein ($14).
If you already have the red and green steins in your collection, you might as well grab this one too!
Our last find was an old favorite: the light-up Tire Tread Jack-o-Lantern Straw ($4)! This has been in Disney California Adventure Park’s Cars Land (naturally!) for a couple of years, and we spotted it in Disney World last year, too.
