It’s hard not to love Disney’s Animal Kingdom? It’s got tons of shade (and believe us, that is IMPORTANT), beautiful theming, and animals!
The food here is also AMAZING and you can grab some unique souvenirs (Yeti backpack anyone?) in the park that you can’t find anywhere else in Disney World. And we’ve been to Animal Kingdom very recently to see what’s been going on and what’s new. So let’s get on with the updates!
Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Dino Institute
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and we found the PERFECT little gift — a PopSocket Wallet with Mickey and Minnie Kissing. Isn’t this the SWEETEST?
You can grab this PopSocket Wallet for $29.99.

Heads up, Star Wars fans: Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge isn’t the only place you can find fun Star Wars merchandise at Disney World. We found two new Star Wars Pins at Animal Kingdom.

The Dark Side Pin has Darth Vader, a TIE Fighter, Stormtroopers, and the Death Star. These pins are $15.99 each.
And check how cute the new nuiMOs Outfit is. It’s a little sweater and skirt with a matching beret. Grab it for $12.99.
This Tiny Kingdom Pin Mat is PERFECT for showing off your Tiny Kingdom pins.
