We just got back from Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World and we have a few updates for you!
We noticed some new merch, food, and newly reopened part of the theme park! Come see what’s new at Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom Food Update
Creature Comforts
A few days ago, we reviewed the Instagram-worthy Scar Cupcake! This devious villain cupcake was so delightfully delish we headed back to Creature Comforts to see if it was still there. Scar has certainly made Starbucks his kingdom because these cupcakes are still in stock!
However, its eems like Scar ran Timon and Pumbaa out of town because the Bugs n’ Grubs cupcake was no longer here!
Check out the Scar cupcake here!
Animal Kingdom Attraction Update
Fossil Fun Games
Fossil Fun Games opened two carnival game booths with new prizes! The games weren’t operational when the majority of the theme park reopened in July. Bronto Score and Comet Crashers are welcoming back gamers again!
Guests play to win a Mickey, Minnie, or dinosaur plushes!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Update
Discovery Trading Company
The Minnie Mouse Ear container made an appearance at World of Disney this week. We also found this cutie in Animal Kingdom at Discovery Trading Company!
Keep all your beloved Minnie Mouse ears safe in this custom Loungefly box for $118.

Baby Yoda Crocs were also seen here! These little cuties were first spotted at World of Disney and now they traveled across the galaxy to Animal Kingdom!
The force is STRONG with these Crocs!
