Welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, DFB readers!

We’ve had a lot of snack news from this park recently — including new snacks on the way and info about how 50th Anniversary snacks are changing — and we’ve even got a whole list of the best desserts in Animal Kingdom for 2023. But there have been some new finds in Animal Kingdom in the past week, including updates on snacks and merchandise so let’s check them out!

Animal Kingdom General Updates

We spotted some new pressed penny machines around the parks! We noticed the first three near Discovery Trading Company.

And we found the other new machine inside Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures.

We’ve recently noticed the designs on these pressed pennies swapping out from 50th anniversary designs to 100th anniversary options — check to see what’s available on your trip!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe

We’ve previously seen the Chocolate and Mango pies come off the menu at this spot, but now they’re off the app on My Disney Experience as well.

They’ve been replaced by Banana Pudding and Cookies & Cream Parfaits.
