Can you ever have too many Minnie Ears? We don’t think so.

If you’re a Marvel fan AND an ear collector, you may need to add these to your collection!

Today at Magic Kingdom we found ears to honor the Captain himself, featuring Captain America’s shield as the mouse ears!

The headband is faux leather and brown (a reference to the shield’s straps!) and the side is embroidered with “Super Soldier.”

We love the detail of Captain America’s red, white, and blue shield as the ears, featuring red and white stripes with a silver star in blue at the center.

The inside of the headband is lined with blue velour for a comfortable fit.

It’s probably safe to say that if you’re a Captain America fan, you will want these ears. We are so happy there are finally Captain America ears in the parks. We found these at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom for $29.99. Stay tuned to DFB as we find out more about where you can buy the new Captain America ears! We will let you know when these come to shopDisney.

We’ve got a quick update about all things new in Animal Kingdom, so let’s go!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

One of our favorite snack spots, the Eight Spoon Cafe, reopened in Animal Kingdom!

Now we can once again nom on baked macaroni and cheese and even a Pulled Pork Jelly Donut Sandwich. The Eight Spoon Cafe is open daily from 10:30AM to 2:30PM.

Asia

The Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks is now opened on both sides, meaning you can order from either side again.

As Disney World continues to reduce social distancing, we are seeing more lines open up, along with some of our favorite pre-shows returning.

The Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks is located in Asia and serves drinks and snacks, including popcorn!

Check out our review of the Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks here!

Africa

The Dawa Bar has their special Bloody Mary mix back!

Last time we visited, the bartender warned us that they only had bottled Bloody Mary mix and no garnish. But now they once again have their special mix and candied bacon garnish!

The Dawa Bar is located next to Tusker House in Africa and is open from 10:30AM to 6:30PM.

Watch our video review of Dawa Bar here!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Riverside Depot

Now we have a few merchandise updates! At Riverside Depot, we found this patriotic Mickey pin for $9.99.

The Market

In Asia, we found these new Yak & Yeti towels. They are $20 each and come in blue and pink.

Dino Institute

In Dinoland, we discovered that the Dino Institute has been redone. There was still some dinosaur merchandise, but not as much.

There was no longer any space merchandise, and it was replaced by MagicBands and other Disney merch.

Zuri’s Sweets Shop

And last but not least, we found a new souvenir cup at Zuri’s Sweets Shop!

For $10.99, you can buy the Disney Parks Life Souvenir Cup with your choice of a red or yellow lid and the price includes Goofy’s Glacier!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is in the middle of a pretty big refurbishment at the moment!

The rooms at the resort are getting a Moana-themed makeover, the front entrance is getting a new look, and the monorail station is also under construction. Previously, we shared that the new Moana-themed rooms were available for booking for dates starting on July 19th. But, now we’ve got more details on exactly when the resort will reopen and what will reopen with it!

Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows are currently open, but the Poly’s standard rooms have not reopened…yet!

Recently, Disney shared some details with travel agents about the Polynesian’s reopening. Disney has now confirmed that the Polynesian will reopen on July 19th!

As part of the reopening, guests will be able to view the enhanced entrance with the new porte cochere. Disney’s Magical Express and valet parking services will be available under the new porte cochere.

Additionally, when the resort reopens on the 19th, the front desk that was temporarily over at the Pago Pago building will close. The front desk and concierge services will return back to the Great Ceremonial House with the reopening of the hotel on July 19th.

What about the monorail station though? The monorail station at the Polynesian will continue to be under construction and will not reopen with the resort on July 19th.

Additionally, the front entrance to the Great Ceremonial House will not reopen with the resort on July 19th. Instead, that will open at a later date. In the meantime, Cast Members will be helping guests access the side entrance to the Great Ceremonial House.

Disney has noted that guests should also continue to use Online Check-in and Direct-to-Room service to help simplify their check-in process when staying at the resort.

We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more details about this reopening and let you know what we find. Stay tuned for more news!
