Disney4me Posted March 3, 2021 Report Posted March 3, 2021 Welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Tree of Life We took a trip around the park to see what’s new, and we’ve got lots to share. There’s new seasonal snacks as well as some other updates, so let’s dive right in! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Food Updates Flame Tree Barbecue Flame Tree Barbecue had a brand-new St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake! It’s chocolate cake with mint ganache filling, vanilla frosting, and a white chocolate shamrock. There was a TON of frosting, but this mint chocolate treat had an epic flavor profile. St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake It was $5.99! We’ve also spotted it over at Creature Comforts — in addition to the Valentine’s Day cupcake, which has somehow managed to stick around! Check Out Our Full Review Here! Creature Comforts Have you heard?! You can now get oat milk in your coffee at Starbucks in Disney World! We tried it out with the Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso from Creature Comforts. Spoiler: that oat milk actually tastes like whole milk! Weird, right? This oat milk tasted a little like an imposter! This drink was $5.99 for a grande size. Read Our Full Review of This New Drink! Dino-Bite Snacks But wait! There’s MORE new treats to try. We grabbed the St. Patrick’s Day Ice Cream Sandwich from Dino-Bite Snacks and couldn’t WAIT to dig in. We loved this dessert last year, and the 2021 version didn’t disappoint! The St. Patrick’s Day Ice Cream Sandwich returns! It comes with TWO double chocolate chip cookies with a giant dollop of mint-chocolate ice cream in between. And trust us, it’s soft and chewy perfection. This sammie is $6.99! Read Our Full Review Here! And while we were chillin’ by Dino-Bite Snacks, we had to do a double-take. Did our beloved plastic cheese look…dare we say…different?! Sure enough, the pre-packed cheese sauces are gone! PLASTIC CHEESE! Don’t worry — there’s a GREAT reason. Disney has some big environmental goals, and they’re trying to make more of their products compostable. And currently, only Dino-Bite Snacks and Restaurantosaurus have this compostable option. So save the Earth and keep eatin’ that plastic cheese! Read More About This Plastic Cheese Change! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Riverside Depot In Riverside Depot on Discovery Island, we spotted some new-to-us Up earrings! Now, we’ve seen a lot of Up gear lately, but these earrings are pretty unique. They’re dangly and feature balloons as well as Carl Fredricksen’s house! They’re $14.99. ‘Up’ earrings! And nearby, we noticed that the Chip mugs are switching over to the new version! ICYMI, the Chip mug got a makeover, and we’re lovin’ the new look. But only that new version was on the shelf today. Could this be a sign of a permanent switch? Only the new and improved Chip here! Both the old and new mugs are $22.99! Read More About the Chip Mug’s Transformation!
