Disney4me Posted December 12, 2020 Report Posted December 12, 2020 Hello, friends, from Disney’s Animal Kingdom! ROAR! Animal Kingdom We took some time to make our way around this WILD park to see what’s new since the last time we were here. So here are all the latest updates! Animal Kingdom Food Updates Anandapur Ice Cream Truck We discovered an ice cream hack at Anandapur Ice Cream Truck. One of the things we really wanted when we last tried the Peppermint Soft-Serve Ice Cream there was to swirl it with chocolate. Cast Members can’t swirl it — however, you can ask them for half peppermint and half chocolate in a cup and they’ll layer each flavor. SUCCESS! Peppermint and Chocolate Soft-Serve Ice Cream The combination of peppermint and chocolate is DELICIOUS. And we paid the same price as we paid for just the peppermint alone, $4.99. Food hacks, for the win! Here’s our review of the Peppermint Soft-Serve Ice Cream Joffrey’s Although there are several Joffrey’s locations throughout the park, the only one at Animal Kingdom with the holiday donuts was the one at the front gate. This includes the HUGE Candy Cane Donut we’ve already tried. It’s a donut with white vanilla icing and crushed bits of candy cane, plus a drizzle of red icing. SO MUCH fun, and YUMMY. Candy Cane Donut Several other holiday donuts were hanging out in the case with the big ‘ole Candy Cane one, too, including the Mint Chocolate Donut… Mint Chocolate Donut And a very festive Holiday Donut! Holiday Donut The donuts are all $4.99 each. Read our full review of the Candy Cane Donut Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Discovery Trading Co. Who doesn’t love a sale? And now that it’s the end of 2020 (YAY!), we discovered a Last Chance Sale on Disney holiday items, but quantities are limited. Select holiday headwear, apparel, tabletop, plush, and toys are 30% off. Last Chance for sale items That includes the Gingerbread Mickey Baseball Caps and a few Holiday T-Shirts. Last Chance for sale items We spotted the Mickey and Minnie Disney Parks Food Loungefly Mini Backpack at Discovery Trading Co. We previously saw this one online and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, too! Mickey and Minnie Disney Parks Food Loungefly mini backpack! The aqua bag is covered with a print of Disney Parks foods and snacks, like churros, Mickey pretzels, and Dole Whips. Obviously, WE LOVE IT. You can nab it for $75. See more photos of the Mickey and Minnie Disney Parks Food Loungefly Mini Backpack Island Mercantile Island Mercantile was actually open when the park opened! A Cast Member told us that from Monday through Thursday, the store opens at noon, and Friday through Sunday, if there are enough Cast Members, will open when the park does. Island Mercantile While there are other places to grab merchandise, it’s nice to have several options! Check out the three NEW Pandora Masks we found at Animal Kingdom Miscellaneous It’s been a little chilly recently in Florida, so we noticed that some cold weather merch was being put out around the park to prepare for chilly weather. Cold weather gear These blankets look pretty cozy, don’t they? Disney World’s Weather Will Be ALL OVER the Place This Week. Here’s What You Need to Know!
