How’s it going, DFB friends? We’re here with more of what’s new at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Animal Kingdom Christmas Tree

After spotting a terrifying pin on a foggy day in Animal Kingdom last week, we weren’t sure what to expect this week. But we did find new Minnie Ears that don’t cost $1,000, so we consider that a win! Check out what else we found.

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Island Mercantile

The Black and Gold Luxe 50th Anniversary Ears have appeared in Island Mercantile! They cost $39.99, and the ears are faux leather with the 50th logo and Cinderella Castle details.

New ears!

The bow is a black velvety material covered with gold sequins and we have to admit, they’re a pretty nice alternative to the pricier 50th anniversary luxe ears we’ve seen!

Check out more photos of the new 50th Anniversary Luxe Ears here!

Windtraders Shop

In Windtraders in Pandora — The World of Avatar, we noticed a minor change that was also a little…weird. This table once held beads, but the beads have been replaced by…stuffed animals? That’s right, these Na’vi Plush Babies now sit where the beads once were.

There used to be beads here!

You can’t exactly make a necklace out of them, but you could cuddle with them if you bring them home, and that’s pretty great. We’ll be watching out for where these babies might end up next!

Discovery Trading

The Snoap Bubble Wands are back in a new design! You can find them throughout Disney World but we spotted these at Discovery Trading for $28.17. The bubbles are typically smaller and more snow-like, so they’re a bit different than the typical bubble wands you can find in Disney World.

“Snoap” Wand!

It’s basically your very own personal “snoap” machine, so if you need more snow in your life you might want to snag one of these wands. You can also get these beauties online!

With Spider-Man: No Way Home coming out this week, there was a new Limited Release Spider-Man Pin in Discovery Trading! This pin is designed with half of Spider-Man’s face red and the other half gray, so we’re wondering if this might be a hint about the movie.

And if you’re still looking for an advent calendar, the Puzzle Advent Calendar was available in Discovery Trading. It gives you 25 holiday-related mini puzzles!

Puzzle Advent Calendar

You could always save it for next year! It costs $39.99.

A puzzle a day!
