Okay, admit it, do you start singing “Circle of Life” the minute you see the Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? It’s totally okay, because SAME.
There’s just something special about this park where we can explore the time of the dinosaurs, but also see real animals on a safari. We can even be entertained by the amazing Festival of the Lion King show and more! But what’s been going on with Animal Kingdom recently? Well, let’s find out?
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Mr. Kamal’s
There’s been a sauce switcheroo at Mr. Kamal’s. The Seasoned French Fries used to be served with two sauces, Curried Honey Mustard and Korean Chili Ketchup. But now, you can only get Sriracha Mayonnaise.
A Cast Member told us this change was for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month but they did not believe the old sauces would be returning at all.
