What's New at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and Caribbean Beach Resort: A New Safari Mudslide Drink and the Return of the Gorgeous Underwater Princess Cupcake!

Hey, guys, we’ve got another update for you today from Disney World! We’re trekking over to Animal Kingdom Lodge and Caribbean Beach Resort to see what’s going on over there.

The Villas at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

There’s some new food and merch to go through, so let’s just jump right in!

Animal Kingdom Lodge Food Update

Uzima Springs Pool Bar

We had to try the new Safari Mudslide at Uzima Springs Pool Bar because, after all, it’s drizzled with chocolate syrup. The Amarula Liquor, Kahlua, and Snow Leopard Vodka are good, too, we guess. 😉 You can try it for yourself for $14.

Animal Kingdom Lodge Construction Update

There are a few construction walls outside the main entrance to Jambo House. It looks like they might be doing some touch-up work on the exteriors here. We’ll let you know if we learn anything new.

Zawadi Marketplace

It’s time to let your villain side show with Villain After Hours event taking place on select dates at the Magic Kingdom. You can also get down with your bad self with this Lion King-inspired shirt from WonderGround Gallery for $29.99. We’re still not over that wildebeest scene, okay!

The Ink & Paint collection is making its way around Disney World and into our treasure troves. We found the notebook here for $19.99 as well.

We just can’t let Frozen II go no matter how hard we try and now you can add a little Anna and Elsa style to your life with these new-to-us jewelry sets.

Kidani Village

Over at Kidani Village, we found these Mickey and Minnie key-chains for $9.99 each.

We get that it’s supposed to be the signature parts of their respective outfits, but it just took us by surprise to see all of the pieces of their wardrobes (including Mickey’s head?) strung on a chain like this. Do you agree?!

Centertown Market
