Jambo everyone!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
We’re constantly making our way around all of the Walt Disney World theme parks to see what’s new. Today, we’re talking a walk around Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new. We’ve got wait times you WON’T believe, info on some upcoming treats, llama merch(?!), and some awesome photos around the park. Join us on this wild adventure!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Flame Tree Barbecue
Over at Flame Tree Barbecue, we didn’t spot any Valentine’s Day treats just yet. We did speak with a Cast Member there, however, who said that a special cupcake would be available starting February 2nd.

We can’t wait to see what it is!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Riverside Depot
Over at Riverside Depot, we found those fun 101 Dalmatians 60th Anniversary Pins.

If you’re looking to snag some great plushes, we also spotted a deal going on where you can get plush characters for $22 each when you buy 2.

Expedition Everest Gift Shop
We also spotted some fun llama themed items at the gift shop that is at the exit of Expedition Everest. Yes, that’s right, you can fully embrace the fact that you are the llama queen with these items.
Llamas!
You can even get a llama themed “sprazy toy” which is described as a “crazy water spraying toy!”

Disney’s Animal Kingdom General Updates
In terms of general updates, we found that the crowds were VERY low during our visit to Animal Kingdom.
Low Crowds
There were lots of times where we found there was no one (or very little people around).
Low Crowds!
This was true over in Pandora…
No Crowds
…in the Rivers of Light seating area…

…and in various spots throughout the park!
Expedition Everest
And the wait times definitely reflected those low crowds.
DINOSAUR
We’re talking 10 MINUTES(!!) for Avatar Flight of Passage…
Flight of Passage Queue
…and essentially a walk-on over at Expedition Everest.

Over by Restaurantosaurus, some Cast Members had a bit of fun with this dino, apparently named Timmy! Timmy was out there helping guest and wearing his mask just as is required in Disney World.
Hey Timmy!
And that’s all for us from Animal Kingdom! It was a nice, relaxing day with low crowds and lots of space around us to enjoy the beauty of this park.
Pandora
