There’s a lot going on in Disney World and you might have missed some BIG updates.
Tree of Life
From new snacks to a new ride, new merchandise, and even new construction — Disney World might look very different the next time you visit. So now we’re taking YOU for a stroll with us through Animal Kingdom to see the new (and new-to-us) items we found in the park as of late. Join us and get all caught up on the latest Disney updates.
Food Updates
Creature Comforts
Over at Creature Comforts, you can find a NEW limited-time snack, the Bee Hive Mousse Dome! The snack is priced at $6.29, and is made of honey mousse on top of a brownie base with sugar bees and white chocolate honeycomb decorations (as well as crunchy edible pearls).
Bee Hive Dome Cake
The snack is part of the Earth Month offerings and will be around through April 30th, so you’ll want to hurry and try it.

Pizzafari and Restaurantosaurus
Over at Pizzafari and Restaurantosaurus, you’ll find another limited-time snack, the Elephant Cupcake! This beauty is $5.99 and is made up of a graham cracker cake, pineapple filling with matcha buttercream, crispy pearls, and a chocolate elephant.

Dino-Bite Snacks
But wait…there’s MORE! At Dino-Bite Snacks, we found a new snack that is not officially part of the Earth Month celebration. The treat is called the Dino Dig Ice Cream Sandwich and is $7.29. This beauty is made with Vanilla Ice Cream sandwiched between two Sugar Cookies, topped with Chocolate Sprinkles, Cookie Crumbles, Sugar Bones, and a White Chocolate Dinosaur.
Tasty Cookie Crumbles
We wanted to hate this (since it replaced one of our favorite 50th Anniversary snacks) but it was actually REALLY delicious.

Terra Treats
Finally, over at Terra Treats, we found a new plant-based pizza — the Roasted Mushroom & Leek Pizza. This features IMPOSSIBLE Meatballs, roasted mushrooms, braised leeks, and a dash of truffle oil.
Roasted Mushroom and Leek Pizza
You might be a pepperoni and cheese person but this pizza could surprise you. The meat was flavorful and juicy, and the cheese was toasted perfectly. Grab it for $7.69.
