Another month of Disney fun is in the books!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We spent the last week or so exploring Disney World (as we do), and that includes a few visits to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Now, we’re bringing you all the latest news in food, construction, and merchandise!
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Harambe Market
The only food update we have comes from over at Harambe Market. This spot is open every day of the week right now for Spring Break crowds but will go back to weekends only once the crowds subside.
Eat in Africa without ever having to go to Africa!
Animal Kingdom Construction Updates
Na’vi River Journey
We spotted that the Na’vi River Journey queue was being routed backstage near the restrooms. The ground where the queue normally goes had recently been painted.

Kali River Rapids
And we got a SURPRISE on one of our visits! Kali River Rapids has been closed for a seasonal refurbishment for a few months. It was scheduled to reopen tomorrow (April 2nd).
Let’s do this!
But, shocker! Kali River Rapids reopened EARLY!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Riverside Depot
Riverside Depot had a new Aladdin Puzzle for $24.99. Wow, that looks like a whole new world of fun. Ok, that wasn’t our best. Maybe you chuckled?

Discovery Trading Co.
Discover Trading Co. had a few notable items including the new ears we’ve seen elsewhere in the parks! Take a gander at the Pastel Minnie Ears for $29.99.
