Disney’s Animal Kingdom was looking EXTRA gorgeous on our most recent visit!
Pandora
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.

We also spotted a pin trading location in Pandora near the Na’vi River Journey queue.
