What's New in Disney's Animal Kingdom: Work on the 50th Show and a FANCY Dessert!

Have you visited Disney World’s wildest park recently?

Animal Kingdom

We love swinging by Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a stroll around and to check out the animals. We stopped by this week and we spotted some new stuff too! Here’s all the latest in food, construction, and merchandise!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

Tiffins

First up, we swung by Tiffins to try their ELABORATE new The Lion King dessert, and boy was this treat a surprise! The menu listed it as Caramel Mousse, Chocolate Brownie, and Strawberry-Mango Sauce for $15.

Look at this beauty!

That sounds simple, but it totally wowed us when it appeared!
