Disney4me Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hey DFB friends! We’re back with another what’s new in Animal Kingdom! Expedition Everest On our visit we searched for the latest food and merchandise all over the park. We found returning favorites, some price increases, and noticed that our beloved Halloween treats are starting to be replaced. Follow along on our day in Animal Kingdom! Animal Kingdom Food Updates Harambe Fruit Market & Trek Snacks To begin our food tour of Animal Kingdom, we stopped by two food kiosks. The first was Harambe Market, a kiosk known for selling fresh fruit, trail mix, and other snacks. This location also serves soft pretzels, however we noticed something different about these pretzels… Harambe Fruit Market …they were Mickey-shaped! Mickey pretzels are all over Disney World but Harambe Market is known for selling Simba-shaped pretzels! Mickey Pretzel We aren’t exactly sure why Disney decided to switch shapes at this location, but we do miss Simba! Simba Pretzel The second location we stopped at was Trek Snacks. We began noticing a trend at these Animal Kingdom kiosks… Trek Snacks …because this spot was ALSO selling Mickey pretzels instead of Simba pretzels. Mickey Pretzel We will keep and eye out for the Simba pretzels to return! In the meantime, you can grab a Mickey pretzel with cheese dip at these two locations for $6.79. These specialty pretzels are BACK in Magic Kingdom Yak & Yeti Over at Yak & Yeti, we didn’t notice any new menu items, however we DID notice a slight price increase! Yak & Yeti The kid’s menu, which includes an entree and two sides, has been increased by $1 to $10.79. Yak & Yeti Kids Meal Although this is not a huge change, every penny counts! We will keep looking around for other price increases at Disney restaurants. Check out another price increase in Disney World Nomad Lounge The Nomad Lounge is great place to hang out and take a break from the craziness of a theme park. It also has some unique snacks and drinks on the menu. Nomad Lounge On our most recent visit, we noticed the Lobster Mac & Cheese from Tiffins had been added to the Nomad Lounge’s menu! We are big fans of this dish and are so glad to see it in another location in the park. Lobster Mac ‘n Cheese Note that this was on the secret menu, so ask your server about any unlisted menu items to order this delicious dish for $22. Read our full review of the Lobster Mac & Cheese Drinkwallah We passed another drink and snack stand called Drinkwallah where we noticed a familiar sipper. Drinkwallah We found the Lion King Stacking Cup! We had seen this sipper before, but now it’s back! One side features Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa with the words Hakuna Matata. Lion King Stacking Cup The other side features a close up on Simba! Right now, Drinkwallah is selling these for only $7! Go grab one before they disappear again! These fan-favorite sippers are back in Disney World! Zuri’s Sweet Shop Speaking of disappearing, we noticed some Halloween treats missing from Zuri’s Sweet Shop. This bakery has started to bring back some of its pre-Halloween treats like this Mickey cookie. Zuri’s Sweet Shop The whole case seemed as if Halloween was over! We aren’t sure why they weren’t offering many spooky treats, however this could change depending on when you go to the shop. Zuri’s Sweet Shop The cases were previously filled with Halloween rice krispies, cupcakes, marshmallow pops, and more. Fall and Halloween Confections at Zuri’s Sweets Shop Even though Disney has started releasing holiday merchandise, we are still looking forward to Halloween in the next few days! If we see Halloween treats pop back into Zuri’s, we’ll be sure to let you know! These are some of our favorite Halloween treats of the season Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Discovery Trading Co. In Discovery Trading Co., the holiday merchandise displays were out! This week Disney has released a TON of holiday merchandise online and in the parks. Holiday Merchandise This store is a great place to shop for holiday gear! They had everything we’ve seen online and in other parks as well. Holiday Merchandise Disney also recently released a Make-A-Wish merchandise line to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the companies working together. We had seen all of the merchandise from this collection except the masks…but now the masks are at Discovery Trading Co.! Make-A-Wish Masks The last new thing we spotted of the day was pretty amazing! We found the Disney Lego Train Station! Lego Train You can build the iconic station in your own home with this Lego set for $329.99. We’re pretty obsessed with it. Lego Train We love when Disney gives us the opportunity to bring some Disney magic home! We can’t wait to see what merchandise Disney releases next! Save BIG on Disney Lego sets! And that’s a wrap on our day in Animal Kingdom. We had a wonderful time visiting all of the shops and restaurants to update you all on the parks! We will be back soon, so stay tuned for our next adventure. Here’s what’s new in Magic Kingdom Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!
