We’ve popped into Disney World’s WILDEST park a few times in the last week!
Pandora
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a pretty cool place to hang out. We love eating the food, riding the rides, and (of course!) checking in on the animals. Now, we’re here with a quick update on everything NEW in the park!
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Restaurantosaurus Lounge
Let’s start with the food updates! Cast Members let us know that Restaurantosaurus Lounge has the last of the Tiger Beer in the park right now. You’ll want to hurry over if you’re hoping to snag some!

Tiffins
On Discovery Island, Tiffins restaurant had a “Seating Available” sign posted to encourage guests to pop in for a meal.

Over in Pandora, the barriers from the bioluminescence repainting are gone and the entrance walkway is fully reopened.

Affection Section
Let’s hop on the Wildlife Express Train and head to Rafiki’s Planet Watch to visit the Affection Section.

Recently, we spotted that Gabby, a Pinewoods Cattle, was working on placing her hoof on a riser and getting rewards for it. Cast Members let us know that this is how they would get her to place her hoof for an X-ray!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Pin Trading
We didn’t spot any new merchandise in Animal Kingdom on our last visit, but we did see that the new Pin Trading location has been moved from Expedition Everest to the old merch cart across from the Gibbons Apes.
