What’s New in Animal Kingdom Merchandise Let’s kick things off by throwing it back. The Lion King VHS phone case took us back to the ’90s in the best way possible. Lion King VHS Case We found it at multiple locations throughout the park, including Island Mercantile and Discovery Trading Company. Lion King VHS Case The case comes with a kickstand and card slots and it comes in two different sizes. You can find the case for an iPhone 6,7,8 or for larger iPhones like the X. No matter the size, the prices will be $29.99. Now, let’s journey into Discovery Trading Company. Here we found the limited edition trading pins for July. Limited Edition July Pin With options like Hercules, Magic of Honor, Spaceship Earth, Vintage Vinyl Oliver and Company, and Kingdom Consoles. Limited Edition July Pins These are all $17.99 each.

Little Mermaid Ears Hop back on board the safari bus as we journey deeper into new Aminal Kingdom merchandise by exploring Island Mercantile. The new Icon Minnie Collection has us wishing we could wear polka dots and glitter every day. Come to think of it — we can (one of the perks of the job)! This can be found at other locations throughout the parks too. Minnie Icon Collection Choose your king or queen of the jungle by taking your pick of a plush from the Lion King wall. A few of our favorite new options are the Sitting Simba and Nala that we also spotted at World of Disney in Disney Springs. The sitting plush can be purchased for $26.99 individually. Or you can take both Nala and Simba home for $22 each. Sitting Plush Over at Ziwani Traders, we noticed the perfect place to snap Lion King photos. AND, this photo opp is in the AC!
