A sunny day in Animal Kingdom
From innovative and immersive new attractions to the latest new restaurants — we’re always looking out for the latest and greatest updates from around the parks. With so much going on, it can be difficult staying up to date — that’s where we come in! Let’s take another look at what’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom Food Updates
Caravan Road
There’s a new Tropical Shaved Ice flavor available at this seasonal spot and it sounds rather refreshing! The Mango-Passion Fruit Watermelon Shaved Ice is now available for $4.99.

Animal Kingdom General Updates
Character Flotillas
We’ve got an update on how the character flotillas are running in the park! On our most recent visit, we noticed that the boats were now floating down the river in succession — three at a time.
Lion King Flotilla
We spotted Goofy with Chip ‘n’ Dale, the Lion King boat, and the Drummer boats together…
Heya, pals!
…followed by Donald, Pocahontas and friends, and Mickey.
It’s Donald Duck!
And, Disney also shared that Donald’s Dino-Bash Meet and Greet is coming back soon! We’ll keep an eye on the character flotillas in Animal Kingdom and let you know if we notice any other changes!

That’s all the news we have from Animal Kingdom for now! If you’re heading to the parks soon, keep in mind that temperatures are rising and it’s important to stay hydrated! We’ve got plenty of tips on how to prepare for rainy weather, too.
Don’t forget that guests still need valid park pass reservations to visit the parks, so be sure you’ve got yours booked ahead of your visit. And check out Disney Genie+ — the paid way to skip standby lines in the parks via Lightning Lanes!
