Disney4me Posted December 20, 2021 Report Posted December 20, 2021 It’s about to get wild, folks. Because we’re heading into Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Animal Kingdom We found a few updates for you to be aware of before you visit this Disney World park. There’s a returning snack that looks pretty…interesting, a re-opened attraction, and some mysterious new fences. Let’s dive in! We’ll start out with that interesting-looking snack we just mentioned. But don’t worry — we have a feeling it doesn’t taste nearly as bad as it looks! Animal Kingdom Food Updates Windtraders When the Pandora section of Animal Kingdom first opened, they had a new treat called Vein Pods. These are basically rice krispie treats covered in green-colored white chocolate and decorated with milk chocolate “veins.” Vein pods in Pandora We recently saw these treats back in the park, at the Windtraders gift shop (just outside the exit to the Avatar: Flight of Passage ride). Vein Pods are BACK The snacks are meant to look like the vein pod plants that you can spot in this section of the park, which (according to the story) suck up methane on Pandora and smell super gross as a result. Sounds like an ideal snack, right? Vein pod plant in Pandora Vein Pods are pre-packaged, so the rice krispie won’t be quite as fresh as one you might find in the display cases at Zuri’s Sweets Shop over in the Africa section of Animal Kingdom. But we’ve got to give points for the dedication to theming! Vein pod treat You can grab a Vein Pod for $4.99.

Mickey hat We’ve seen this hat in a couple of different spots now, and now it’s available again in Animal Kingdom. You can buy one for $29.99. Cute! Island Mercantile At Island Mercantile, we saw the new Luxe Logo 50th Anniversary tracksuit that we originally found over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Luxe Logo Tracksuit in Animal Kingdom The tracksuit is a velvet-y corduroy material, and it has gold pinstripes all over it. Like the other Luxe Logo items, it’s pretty expensive. You can get the top for $149.99 and the bottoms for $129.99.

Kali River Rapids This attraction closed for a few weeks for refurbishments, but it reopened on December 16th. You can head in to ride it now! Loading We also saw some new fences over in DinoLand, U.S.A. Rest area? Right now, the area is fenced off and the space right in front of it is being used as stroller parking. Stroller Parking for now Disney hasn’t said officially what is happening in this area so we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Woah It’s pretty obvious that the holiday breaks have started, because there were a lot of people visiting this park (and all the Disney World parks). Lots of people here! We’re expecting the crowd levels to stay pretty high for the next couple of weeks as the holidays continue, so consider arriving at the parks early so you can make the most of your time there, place those Mobile Orders early, and take advantage of any perks for Disney World hotel guests if they apply to you — specifically Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours!
