Welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We’re takin’ a look around the park to see what’s new in food, merchandise, and more. Let’s get started!
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Trilo-Bites
At Trilo-Bites in DinoLand U.S.A., we spotted the new Trilo-Bites Twist (aka a Dole Whip in disguise!). It’s Orange Dole Whip swirled with Vanilla Soft-Serve Ice Cream.
Delish!
This tasted like creamsicle in a cup — perfect for summer! You can try it yourself for $4.99.
