Happy holidays from Disney World — it has been a BUSY week!

In the past few days, we’ve visited Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, eaten a lot of gingerbread treats, and checked out several Christmas trees popping up around the parks. But what has been happening in Animal Kingdom? We’ve got a roundup of everything that’s new!

Merchandise Updates

Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures

Let’s start out with some new items from the 50th Anniversary Vault Collection! Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures had this new Magic Kingdom map drawstring bag for $44.99.

And if that’s not your style, you could get the Magic Kingdom map purse instead! It’s a little bit cheaper at $39.99.

Bambi fans will want to check out this adorable new beret for $29.99. How cute!

Expedition Everest and Mickey Mouse is the crossover we didn’t know we needed, and this Beware of the Yeti Pin is absolutely hilarious!

We also spotted the seasonal Christmas Cocoa Popcorn packaged in individual bags with Minnie Mouse on the front! This is an easy way to take a Disney snack home with you.

Finally, we got some new hand sanitizers! There’s a Coco-themed one…

…as well as a Toy Story version!

You can get these for $14.99 each and stay nice and clean.

Island Mercantile

Island Mercantile was home to some new Up-themed items this week. First we’ve got the Up Wedding Countdown Calendar — perfect for the engaged Disney fans out there. Get it for $49.99.

There’s also a new Up Tumbler for $24.99.

It’s covered in multi-colored balloons and a print of Carl’s house floating away.

Discovery Trading Co.

Over in Discovery Trading Co, we got a variety of new merchandise! Last week we spotted the new Anna nuiMO in Magic Kingdom, but now there’s an Elsa version. Find her for $20 in Disney World.

We’ve seen a lot of items in the Aristocats-themed kitchen collection, but now there’s a Marie Teapot! Get it for $49.99.

If you’re into colorful Disney merchandise, then you need to see the Walt Disney World ‘Be Your Own Rainbow’ Cup. This tumbler is in the kitchen section of the store for $19.99.

Looking for new desk accessories? Check out the Baymax faux plant for $24.99. Isn’t he fun?!

And finally, there’s a brand new phone case! The “Seasons Greetings” design features Mickey and Minnie decorating a Christmas tree with their friends.

You can pick it up now for $34.99.

Serka Zong Bazaar

Last but not least, we’re heading to Serka Zong Bazaar at the exit of Expedition Everest. On one of the pin displays there, we found this pin inspired by Pixar’s Soul.

Add it to your collection for $14.99.
