Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

At Island Mercantile, we found a new plush of baby Nala from The Lion King.
You can get it for $34.99.
Discovery Trading Company
Over at Discovery Trading Company, there were a few new pins. We saw a pin for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special for $17.99…
…a holiday Stitch pin for $19.99…
…and a 25th Anniversary Flubber pin for $17.99!
There was also a new MagicBand+ design. The band featured an iconic Disney duo: Chip and Dale! You can get it for $44.99.
The holiday season is at hand, and we saw a new reusable bag to prove it. The bag says “Season’s Greetings” and costs $5.99. (And with the shortage of plastic bags at some Disney stores, you might need it!)
Finally, we spotted a Bambi-themed pillow at this shop.
You can get the pillow for $39.99.
