Know what’s so fun about Disney World? No, we’re not talking about Flight of Passage, or eating a Mickey Bar, or saying “hello” to Mickey (though those are VERY fun, too!). One of our favorite parts of going to Disney World is that no two visits are ever the same! Between all the new treats and merchandise released on a daily basis, plus all the fun surprises we happen to find, there’s always something new and exciting just waiting to be discovered.

Speaking of new things, we visited Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out what was new. Let’s take a look!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

It’s been a LONG time since Frozen Bananas have been readily available in all four Disney parks. For a while, our beloved frozen fruit treat was completely gone from the menus, but back in November, they finally came back to the Magic Kingdom (with a NEW supplier!).

Now, we’re happy to report that Frozen Bananas are available once again at ALL snack carts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Oh, how we’ve missed you — we were going BANANAS waiting for them to return!  ?

Zuri’s Sweets Shop in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is selling the returning Bunny Butt Rice Krispie Treat! You can also find the treat in Disney Springs, and this (plus a few other Easter specialties) are available throughout the Disney parks.

The Bunny Butt Rice Krispie Treat is $4.49. You can read our full review of this classic Easter treat here!

This Aladdin mug is new to Animal Kingdom! We’ve seen it around the other parks before, but the Magic Carpet must have dropped some off at the Riverside Depot.

Speaking of new mugs, we found a friendly little Hello Gorgeous mug for $14.99.

Animal Kingdom Additional Updates

Festival of the Lion King

A few days ago, Disney’s Festival of the Lion King show closed after its 1PM show. After that, all shows for the rest of the day were canceled.

Cast Members informed us that they were having technical difficulties with the set and could not reopen for the rest of the day. Luckily, the show is back up and running now!
