Welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
There has been a lot going on in the park lately — one ride is closed for renovations while another has been completely demolished! There were also some big crowds in the park over the weekend for Thanksgiving. We’ve been regularly checking out what’s going on in the park to keep you in the loop, so let’s take a look at what’s new in Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Satu’li Canteen
We found a rare treat once again in Pandora! The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Mousse is only around for a short time each year and is made with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Mousse with Chocolate Cookie Crumbles, Pumpkin Sauce, and Boba Pearls.
This is a great one for pumpkin fans, but it’s sadly already gone! They really mean it when they say “available for a limited time.”

Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe
We found two new beers at Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe! They weren’t on the menu, but the Cast Member said they had been there for a little while.
One is an IPA and the other is a Wit beer. Both are $9 each!
Isle of Java
Isle of Java is now serving the Island Sunrise drink you can also get over at The Smiling Crocodile!
It’s basically a POG juice margarita! You can get it for $12.
Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Zuri’s Sweets
We found Goofy’s Candy Co. sugar tubes over at Zuri’s Sweets again!
But that’s not the only place in Animal Kingdom you can find this sweet treat.
Chester and Hester’s
They are also available at Chester and Hester’s!
In here, we also found new Goofy and Donald patches from the Vault Collection for $9.99 each.
There were some new clothing items in here, as well. We saw this cute little Mickey and Minnie hooded dress for kids that has “forever Mickey” stitched into the collar area for $39.99.
We also saw some new sweatpants for $34.99…
…and a sweatshirt for $64.99.
And, we stumbled upon some unicorn candy in here.
We guess unicorns eat candy…that seems fitting!
Riverside Depot
In Riverside Depot, we saw that delicious holiday popcorn mix we’ve seen in Magic Kingdom recently! It’s cocoa flavored and is $6.99.
There’s also a new Spider-Man pin in here, just in time for the new movie!
Just another fun pin to add to your Marvel collection!
Discovery Trading Company
We saw this new kids Moana shirt in Discovery Depot! You can get it for $19.99.
We also saw a lot of fun new jewelry in here. Like this Simba bracelet for $19.99…
…necklace for $19.99…
…and earrings for $14.99.
There were also some general Disney World jewelry in the store like Mickey studs for $19.99…
…and a castle stud set for $19.99.
And, don’t forget to check out the Holiday Baublebar collection in here!
Finally, we found these nice new pink Minnie Mouse sweatpants.
Get these for $49.99.
Mombasa Marketplace
Looking for some new ostrich socks? Of course you are! Check out these guys.
And, the back looks like the back of an ostrich!
Would you wear these? We would!
Island Mercantile
The new Encanto collection is in Island Mercantile now! We had previously seen it in Disney Springs, but we finally saw the items over here!
There’s a fun toucan plush for $22.99…
…a kids zip up jacket for $49.99…
…some colorful new shirts as well as those pretty embroidered ears…
…a Mirabel doll and kid’s dress…
…a mystery pin set and other pins…
…and a super vibrant and fun new Loungefly!
And, not a part of the Encanto collection but cool nonetheless, is this new M28 baseball hat!
It’s giving us all the classic Mickey vibes.
Pin Cart – Asia
And finally, we saw pins for sale at a stand in Asia! The Cast Member was able to take cashless payments on a tablet for a small amount of mystery pins.
