What’s New in Animal Kingdom’s Shops and Stores — New Merchandise!
We made a discovery in Discovery Trading Company! These new Lion King Plastic Sipper cups feature Timon, Simba, and Pumba. We’ve spotted these in the Magic Kingdom and in Disneyland as well, so if you’d like one of your own, they’re pretty easy to find.

If you’re more of an Epcot fan than a Lion King fan, then you’ll be happy to see these new “Spaceship Earth” Sipper Cups. These were first spotted in Disneyland (which means, of course, they’re not technically “Spaceship Earth” cups, even though they do really look like the famous geodesic sphere in Orlando), and now we’ve seen them pop up at several resorts and parks in Disney World, too.
