What’s New at Animal Kingdom: A BIG Mask Sale and 4 New Treats

Hello friends, and welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

We’re taking a quick trip around the park with ya to check out everything exciting in food, merchandise, and more. Let’s get started!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

Nomad Lounge

First, we stopped by Nomad Lounge to try their new Sweet Corn Soup! That comes with Cheese SauceLobster Meat, a Jalapeño, and Sweet Corn.

Sweet Corn Soup

Now, this is a kinda weird to assemble (it’s kind of like a BYO soup!), but it was SO tasty and super creamy. Not to mention, that wacky presentation was fun! You can snag it for $14.

Check Out Our Full Review of the Sweet Corn Soup!

Zuri’s Sweets Shop

And over at Zuri’s Sweets Shop, the theme of the day was strawberry! We spotted several new strawberry eats, like a Mickey Cookie

Strawberry Mickey Cookie

…and Krispy Treat.

Strawberry Krispy Treat

Both were $5.49 apiece and pretty yummy — but you’ll wanna be a strawberry fan to really enjoy them.

Check Out Our Review of These Strawberry Treats!

But that wasn’t all! We also grabbed the new Key Lime Pie Krispies Treat.

Key Lime Pie Krispies Treat

This one’s got a Key Lime Pie-flavored krispies treat center with a tiny dollop of icing on top and Mickey sprinkles! This was SUPER heavy on the Key Lime, so be warned! But if you’re a huge fan of that flavor, you can order this for $5.49.

Read Our Review of This Treat!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Riverside Depot

Time to check out some merch! At Riverside Depot, we spotted a new Lion King-inspired terrarium pin for $19.99. Check out Timon just loungin’ around!

Lion King Pin

And if you or your kiddos are slap bracelet fans, you’ll want to know that they’re currently $7 apiece when you buy 3.

A bracelet sale!

Lastly, we saw the new Stitch headband!

It’s Stitch!

It’s fuzzy and prettyyy comfy, with SUPER floppy ears. You can grab it for $24.99!

Check Out That Stitch Headband in More Detail!

Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures

Next, we stopped by Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, where we found a new Wishables lanyard. It features Pooh, Conductor Goofy, Ariel, Olaf, and so many other favorites!

Wishables Lanyard

And like many other locations around the park, there’s a mask sale here.

Animal Kingdom Additional Updates

Lastly, we’ve got a few random updates for ya! First of all, the sand sculpture on the Discovery Island Stage has been removed. Guests are now using it as a spot to catch a break from the sun!

No more sand sculpture!

And over at Serka Zong Bazaar (that’s the Expedition Everest gift shop!), the entrance-only and exit-only signs have been removed from the doors. Guests can now come and go whichever way they’d like! We’re seeing more and more of this as Disney World continues to reduce social distancing.

Serka Zong Bazaar

Well, that’s all from Animal Kingdom for now! We’re in the parks every day checkin’ out what’s new, so stay tuned to DFB for more updates.

PHOTOS: Tour the NEWLY RENOVATED Rooms at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge!

If you’re staying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge soon, you might notice some things have changed about the rooms!

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge fully reopened a few days ago and with it, we got a chance to check out the newly renovated rooms at the resort! Now, we’re doing an in-depth tour of the new and improved Wilderness-inspired digs!

We stayed the night in one of the more common room types at this resort with two queen beds. Did you know you can get bunk beds at this hotel? No dice for us this time, but our room was newly renovated!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The first thing you might notice is that the carpeting has been replaced with the faux wood laminate flooring that has become more common around the Disney resorts. It certainly makes for a slightly less cozy, but cleaner-feeling room.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

As you enter the room, you’ll spot the thermostat to your right…

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

…and the standardized lockset on the door. This system lets guests use a traditional room key, a MagicBand, or even their cell phone to access their room!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Much of the furniture has been replaced in the refurbishment and you’ll spot a new wardrobe piece in the entrance hallway.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The first part of the wardrobe features two sliding doors that open to a fairly sized closet. It isn’t particularly spacious, but it would be plenty of room for most trips. Plus, there’s an extra pillow, an extra blanket, and a luggage rack stored in there!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

And if that closet doesn’t provide enough storage for you, you’ll notice a SIZEABLE cabinet as the next section of this wardrobe furnishing.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Inside, there’s a standard safe and a steamer in case you need to get wrinkles out of your clothes!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The end cap of the wardrobe, closest to the opening up of the room is the countertop and coffee area. The counter holds a Keurig coffee maker and an ice bucket.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

You’ll notice the first more Disney nod to the refurbishment in the print with the shelving behind the counter. Yep, that’s Bambi you spot!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

You’ll find your coffee supplies in the drawer here…

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

…and a mini-fridge just below.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

As a note, some rooms at Wilderness Lodge do have connecting doors which is great to know for larger parties.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Even the trash can got an update in the renovation!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

And then you step into the greater room where you can see the new bed set up! The first thing that might catch your eye is the accent wall featuring cool-toned woods.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

And if you look closely, you might even spot two particularly rambunctious chipmunks tossing an acorn to one another. Hey, Chip ‘n’ Dale!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The headboards have been reworked with a design that looks a bit like carved wood. Don’t be fooled though! The surface is soft.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Each side of each bed features a reading light that automatically turns on when you pull it from the headboard.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

And the light is super focused so you don’t have to bother the other folks in your party if you’re staying up a little later!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Speaking of lights, there are new fixtures in the room that have a rustic feel — perfect for this resort!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Much of the bulkier furniture has been replaced, including some of the side table surfaces. The center side table is a spacious but functional surface shared between the two beds.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

This is where you’ll find your room phone and your remote! Plus, it features new power ports, both traditional outlets and USB ports.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

On each side of the beds, there is a small side table surface with an outlet immediately underneath. These are super cool since they have themed signs. The one on the left side of our room said “Camp…”

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

…and the one on the right said “Cabins.” That’s fitting considering we could see many of the Cascade Cabins just outside our window!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The beds have the clean, all-white sheet look which is different from what we used to see at Wilderness Lodge.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Plus, there’s significant under-bed space for you to stash your luggage.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The room feels more spacious in general due to a smarter use of space with the furnishings across from the bed. Instead of a bulky TV unit, we’re greeted with a flatscreen and a well-themed but not obtrusive dresser.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The dresser has the updated ports too.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

And, get this, there were COOKIES on the dresser welcoming us to the room!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The dresser has six drawers…

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

…and each one is pretty spacious.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The new seating area features two blue chairs that are fairly comfy and a middle table.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Plus, there’s a smaller table nested. You can pull it out if you’re in need of more space!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Above this spot, you’ll see more updated light fixtures and a mirror that looks like it was carved from the center of a massive tree trunk.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The window has new blackout curtains

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

…with a design that complements the room well.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

There haven’t been too many updates to the balcony. You still get a standard table and two chairs.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

But that’s just fine to enjoy the view!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Keep in mind, the balconies are not private but there is a privacy barrier between units.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The new light pane inspired by geologic shapes might be a big eyecatcher in the main area.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

And, plot twist: It’s a LIGHT!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

You’ll notice that the pane is in the same spot on the other side of the wall, in your bathroom. Still, the pane is not translucent and the lights aren’t connected. So, you could have the bathroom pane off and the bedroom pane on.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The bathroom is tucked behind a large, wood sliding door. This is also where you’ll find a sizeable full-length mirror.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The bathroom itself has received a few updates too. There’s a large mirror with lighting along the border…

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

…plus a smaller, magnified mirror.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The double vanity has two sinks with lots of available hand towels.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

And you’ll have access to lotion and facial soap.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

Under the sink, you’ll find tissues, MORE towels, a hairdryer, and spare tissues, and toilet paper.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The toilet and shower room is behind another sliding door.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

To close the door, you press the small gold button to extend the handle.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

In here, you’ve got your toilet area…

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

…with a view of a cool totem pole print. Hey, that print looks a LOT like the totem poles in the lobby!

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The shower and tub have been updated with a wooden backdrop to one side of the shower and sliding glass doors.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

The showerhead is a waterfall style and there’s a movable smaller showerhead too.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

On the opposite wall, there’s a ledge for your bath products…

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

…and of course the Disney refillable bath products for your use.

Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms

And that’s the renovated room style at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort! As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!

Fishing Excursions Return to Walt Disney World

Guests looking to add a bit more adventure to their Walt Disney World vacation might be excited to learn that, just in time for summer, fishing excursions are coming back!

The excursions are open to everyone regardless of whether you’re an avid angler or just a beginner. A Disney expert fishing guide will customize your excursion depending on your level of knowledge and comfort. My husband is pretty excited about this because he is an avid angler and me – not so much.

This Enchanted Extra is a catch-and-release fishing experience you won’t have anywhere else, with excursions setting sail on the lakes and lagoons that surround select Walt Disney World Resort hotels.

Fishing excursions are available at the following marinas:

You can learn more on planning a successful trip on the water by visiting TakeMeFishing.org who runs the excursions at Disney World.

You’ll soon be able to enjoy dockside fishing at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside with a casting-rod fishing experience in their well-stocked waters. All casting-rod fishing gear can be rented from the Fishin’ Hole at Ol’ Man Island.

Watch this short TikTok video that the Disney Parks Blog shared to learn more about what’s offered.
