We took a trip to the park to check out all of the new food, merchandise, and attractions updates since our last visit. Without further ado, let’s dive into the latest additions!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Food Updates

Trilo-Bites

We didn’t spot any new food items this time around, but we did notice an update to the line for Trilo-Bites over in DinoLand USA. New distancing dots have been added to the queue for this snack kiosk.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Attractions Updates

While strolling through Discovery Island, we noticed that one of the caricature stations has been moved to the location where Russell and Dug used to have meet-and-greets prior to the park closure.
