If you’re looking for a sweet new way to carry your cosmetics, check out the latest Loungefly release at Universal Orlando Resort, which features the magical treats of Honeydukes.
This combo set consists of two bags: one themed to the exterior of Honeydukes, and one featuring some of the sweets found within.
The larger of the two bags has an opaque green plastic-like fabric, with a rectangular pattern similar to the windows outside the shop.
The bottom is lined with a pink and white striped pattern.
Looking inside, the bottom of the lining features a black-and-white checkerboard pattern similar to the floor of Honeydukes.
The bag can be carried with a removable wrist strap.
The smaller of the bags fits easily inside the larger one.
The exterior of the smaller bag is patterned with plenty of Wizarding World candies, including Chocolate Frogs and Fizzing Whizzbees.
The interior has the same checkerboard pattern. We found this set at the Universal Studios Store in Universal CityWalk Orlando.

If you’re a Disney fan, you probably know a LOT of fun facts that other people don’t!
Do you know where this hidden Mickey is?
There are the classic ones, like where certain hidden Mickeys are in the parks, and then there are ones that are a little less well-known. We’ve had Cast Members tell us some really cool trivia in the past, but now, we’re getting park specific! We have some fun facts about Animal Kingdom from Cast Members who work there — let’s check ’em out!
We met a Cast Member who told us that the tree next to Thirsty River Bar is actually 2 trees in 1!
Do you see it?
There’s another tree growing out of the oak tree that is there. The trees got twisted and now they grow together!
Look!
As you can see, there’s a palm tree coming out of the oak!
It looks like 2 trees, but they’re connected!
Try and find these trees the next time you’re in the park!
We also found out that on the Tree of Life Trail there is a large root near the entrance that makes a cave…
Cave!
…and on the wall there are a bunch of holes.
What is inside?
If you look through the holes, your eye is directed to the ant!
Hello little (giant) ant
These holes direct you to the ant because it’s the animal that has had the most impact on the Tree of Life, present throughout all of its stages! So cool!
This next one is more of a rumor than a fun fact, but we wanted to share anyway! A Cast Member told us about a rumor that the ground was dug into an extra 10 feet when Animal Kingdom was being built so that it would be hotter for the animals.
Kilimanjaro Safaris
This would make sense, since a lot of the animals are probably used to a warmer climate (although it’s already pretty darn warm in Florida!). This could definitely explain why it feels hotter in Animal Kingdom than the other Disney World parks! Or, it could just be in our heads. 
One Cast Member told us that a lot of the animal exhibits are made to match the area of the park they are in. This might seem self explanatory, but there are actual storylines that go behind the exhibits that are way more detailed than meets the eye!
Hi friends
The story behind the Gibbon Exhibit is that there was a temple being built, and in the process of the construction, apes moved in! So, instead of continuing construction, they gave the partially-built temple over to the Gibbons and left the scaffolding up.
You can usually hear the Gibbons over here — they’re VERY loud!
You can definitely tell that’s the vibe they were going for over here!
This one is a little more popular if you’re a big Disney World fan, but it’s still a fun fact! Animal Kingdom was apparently supposed to have a section devoted to mythical creatures (Beastly Kingdom) in the park, and that’s why there’s a dragon as one of the animals up on the entrance sign!
It’s giving Game of Thrones vibes
There sort of are mythical creatures in the park in Pandora, but no dragons. It would be SUPER cool to see dragons inside!
There are mythical creatures in the engravings, too!
We have more details about Beastly Kingdom and what it could have been here!
So, there ya go — 5 things about Animal Kingdom that most people don’t know! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World news, info, and updates.
