Happy 25th, Animal Kingdom!

What do you get when you make an iced latte with strawberry, banana, and chocolate syrup topped with whipped cream and cherries? You get the Savannah Banana Latte, which tastes like a drinkable banana split. YUM!
Savanna Banana Latte
This delicious drink for $6.49 is a special offering for Animal Kingdom’s 25th anniversary, so it probably won’t be around for long.
