We’re BIG fans of Disney World’s wildest park.
So, we’ve visited Disney’s Animal Kingdom a few times over the recent days. Now, we’re bringing you an update with everything NEW in food, construction, and merchandise!
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Zuri’s Sweets Shop
We stepped into Zuri’s Sweets Shop in Africa and noted that the bakery case had a number of options including a Bunny Chocolate Apple and a Bunny Tail Rice Krispy Treat.
We tried these a few days ago and they’re super cute!
Dino Bite Snacks
Over in Dinoland U.S.A., Dino-Bite Snacks has swapped out the St. Patrick’s Day Ice Cream Sandwich for the classic Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwich.
Creature Comforts / Restaurantosaurus / Flame Tree Barbecue
As a part of the springtime festivities, a new Spring Cupcake has arrived at Creature Comforts, Restaurantosaurus, and Flame Tree Barbecue.
This treat is a carrot cake cupcake for $5.99. So…uh…sign us UP!

Animal Kingdom Construction Updates
Kilimanjaro Safaris
During one of our visits, we spotted that the Kilimanjaro Safaris line was being routed through the Festival of the Lion King queue, but not the theater itself.
Riverside Depot
Over at Riverside Depot, we spotted that some of the “Exit Only” signs have been covered and guests were able to enter through those doors.
Could some distancing procedures be changing for shopping locations? Maybe!

Speaking of Riverside Depot, this spot also had a new-to-us Purple Ears Alex and Ani Bracelet!
