It’s time to go on safari for the newest things going down at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
We’re feeling the love today because it’s Valentine’s Day and there’s some special treats you can get in Animal Kingdom right now, along with a brand new line of wild apparel. Let’s dive on in!
Animal Kingdom Food Update
Discovery Island
Valentine’s Day season has been the gift that keeps on giving us new sweet cupcakes to try! The wild Valentine’s Day Cupcake that we originally spotted at Restaurantosaurus and Creature Comforts has found another habitat at Pizzafari.

Tiffin’s
There’s trouble in paradise at Tiffins. As of last week, they are no longer serving up their lunch tasting menu. Rest easy, lunch tasting menu, you will be missed. It’s not all bad news, though, as they still offer a Yellowfin Tuna and Grilled Hanger Steak from 11:30 to 3:30.
Zuri’s Sweets Shop
We had to pop into Zuri’s Sweets Shop (for research, of course) and we discovered that they now have the red velvet Valentine’s Day Cupcake from the Magic Kingdom’s Confectionery.
Here’s what we thought of this Valentine’s Day Cupcake!
Animal Kingdom Merchandise Update
Riverside Depot
Pin traders, there’s a new pin based on the new Disney and Pixar movie Onward in Animal Kingdom for $9.99! It features the new character Barley, one of the two brothers, who is voiced by Chris Pratt. Can’t wait to see you on March 6th, bud!

Hades, what are you doing here? Aren’t you and your hat supposed to be at Villains After Hours? Apparently not, because we also found it at Riverside Depot for $27.99.
Discovery Trading Company
Hold onto your safari hats, people, because there’s a new line of apparel that celebrates Animal Kingdom and the Tree of Life. This Animal Kingdom shirt for $36.99 knows how to make the colors pop.
The long sleeve shirt for $34.99 features a similar design, but we’re still pretty wild about it.
There’s also a youth Animal Kingdom shirt for $19.99, too, so the whole family can be decked out and ready to explore the wild!
If bling is more your thing, they have a new Alex and Ani Animal Kingdom bracelet for $49.99.
Every good explorer needs a new hat and there are two new ones in the collection as well. This Animal Kingdom hat for $27.99 has a brim that’s covered in a cork-like material.
The kids can also sport their own look with this youth Animal Kingdom hat for $24.99. Adventure is calling!

That’s the end of our trek into the wilds of Animal Kingdom to see what’s new this time. Come back soon for more updates from Animal Kingdom and the rest of the World!
