Welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life looking pretty!
There has been a lot going on in the park lately — one ride is closed for renovations while another has been completely demolished! There were also some big crowds in the park over the weekend for Thanksgiving. We’ve been regularly checking out what’s going on in the park to keep you in the loop, so let’s take a look at what’s new in Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Satu’li Canteen
We found a rare treat once again in Pandora! The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Mousse is only around for a short time each year and is made with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Mousse with Chocolate Cookie Crumbles, Pumpkin Sauce, and Boba Pearls.
It’s so pretty!
This is a great one for pumpkin fans, but it’s sadly already gone! They really mean it when they say “available for a limited time.”

Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe
We found two new beers at Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe! They weren’t on the menu, but the Cast Member said they had been there for a little while.

One is an IPA and the other is a Wit beer. Both are $9 each!
Isle of Java
Isle of Java is now serving the Island Sunrise drink you can also get over at The Smiling Crocodile!

It’s basically a POG juice margarita! You can get it for $12.
