Disney4me Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Headed to Disney World anytime soon? Animal Kingdom Whether you are or not, you might want to keep up with the latest updates. We’ve got you! We stopped by Disney’s Animal Kingdom recently to bring you ALL the news in food, construction, and merchandise! Animal Kingdom Food Updates Harambe Market Though this drink isn’t new, we decided to review the Leopard’s Eye during a visit to Harambe Market. This cocktail is made with Snow Leopard Vodka blended with Kiwi and Passion Fruit Mango. So GREEN! The color of this drink is SUPER neon green. Warning: It’s a sweet one! Click here to see our FULL REVIEW of this drink! Various Locations And we’ve got a ketchup update! Earlier this month, it seemed that Heinz was disappearing from around Disney World as the country dealt with a bit of a ketchup shortage. It’s really here! Now it seems Heinz is making its return. Snack carts and Isle of Java were back to Heinz while Satu’li Canteen and Flame Tree Barbecue still had the replacement Red Gold brand. To learn more about the ketchup sitch, click here! Animal Kingdom Construction Updates Asia Asia had new prayer flags hung up! They were very bright compared to the old ones because of how much the sun has faded the originals. Prayer Flags Dinoland, U.S.A. Restaurantosaurus was once again toting some furniture and items on the roof from the research students in the spot’s story. Restaurantosaurus Africa There were some major changes to the Kilimanjaro Safaris queue! So far since reopening, stroller parking was near the main entrance of the ride, over by the ice cream cart. Kilimanjaro Safaris Now, there are signs telling guests to keep their strollers with them. More of the original line queue has opened up where guests are passing each other and weaving through the line. Kilimanjaro Safaris Once you get to the TVs, they have added plexiglass in the entrance of the covered area… Kilimanjaro Safaris …and then all down the walkway. Kilimanjaro Safaris Towards the end of the queue, parties with a stroller are split off to park their stroller and reenter the line just before boarding. This is likely much easier for little ones who are better off riding in such a long line queue! Kilimanjaro Safaris Discovery Island Riverside Depot and Island Mercantile both have the new capacity counters installed in the doorways. Cast Members were still manually counting capacity at Riverside Depot but the counter devices seemed to be in use at Island Mercantile. Island Mercantile Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Chester & Hester’s The only new merchandise item we found was over at Chester & Hester’s in Dinoland, U.S.A. And what a GREAT little item it is… Tiny Autograph Book It’s an Autograph Book Keychain for $12.99! We sure miss character meet and greets so this is the perfect souvenir.
