Hello from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

We visit the park regularly to keep up with all the ride closures, food updates, and new merchandise so we can let you know what to expect on your next visit. So, let’s check out what’s new in Animal Kingdom!

Animal Kingdom Construction Updates

DinoLand U.S.A.

Over in DinoLand, there’s some construction going on near Dino-Bite Snacks.

Walls are up right next to the food spot as the deck from Restaurantosaurus gets redone.

Hopefully these walls come down soon, because we can’t wait to see the new deck!

Discovery Island

The Encanto mural near Creature Comforts on Discovery Island is gone, now it’s just back to being a plain old regular fence.

Hopefully we’ll see another fun mural going up next! We’ll keep an eye out.

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Discovery Trading Company

We found the new Alice in Wonderland Dooney & Bourke collection in Discovery Trading Company! We’ve also seen the collection in the other parks and in Disney Springs. Discovery Trading has the tote for $298…

…the wallet for $168 and crossbody bag for $228…

…and the satchel for $298.

This collection is also available online!

We also spotted some new pins in here! There’s a new Star Wars “Enlist” pin and a new Minnie Mouse Floating Down Main Street pin.

And, we saw these cool new glass measuring cups in with the kitchenware.

Mickey can help you cook!

Island Mercantile

Island Mercantile has the newly released additions to the Vault Collection available! They have the Spirit Jerseys and Crocs…

…as well as the new zip-up hoodie.

You can get the Spirit Jersey for $84.99, the Crocs for $65, and the hoodie for $69.99.

Windtraders

Over in Pandora, there are now interactive Banshee toys available! They come in three different colors and can eat, talk to each other, and make a lot of different sounds depending on how many times you rub their back.

These are $39.99 each and come with an egg, an adjustable wristband, and a teylu accessory (which is what you can feed them).

Animal Kingdom Additional Updates

DinoLand U.S.A.

In DinoLand, there were tables outside again for guests to use near Dino-Bite Snacks. Although, it was pouring rain when we went by, so no one was using them! We’re guessing these are out now since the deck is unavailable and under construction.

That’s everything new in Animal Kingdom! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World news and updates.
