What’s New in Animal Kingdom: Coffee, Cupcakes, Menu Updates, and Merchandise!
There are always new things to discover in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! This week we wandered through the newly re-opened Tree of Life Garden, enjoyed cupcakes as well as some Tasting Sampler treats that are sticking around, found a spot serving Irish Coffee, and spotted new Lion King Family Pride shirts for the whole family!
Hello from the Animal Kingdom!
Now that the Otter Grotto is open, the Tree of Life Garden paths are completely open again, too; they were blocked during the refurbishment of the Otter Grotto. We enjoyed a walk along the garden path on our visit.
What’s New on Animal Kingdom’s Discovery Island
After watching the otters in their new grotto we walked along the Tree of Life Garden path to take in the views of the animals on Discovery Island and the details on the Tree of Life.

After our walk on the path, we needed a snack and drink! The Earth Day cupcake was still available at Creature Comforts (Starbucks) and Dinoland’s Restaurantosaurus, and it paired well with the new Irish Coffee at Isle of Java!

Head’s up — that Irish Coffee was on a temporary sign, so keep your eyes peeled for its hopeful return!

What’s New with Animal Kingdom’s Tasting Sampler?
Animal Kingdom’s Tasting Sampler program ended on April 22, but we found some of the menu items from the Sampler sticking around for a bit! Mr. Kamal’s menu still includes the updated Fries with dipping sauces and Chicken Dumplings.

Dino Diner is keeping the Corn Chip Pie on their menu as well.

The Scrooge McDuck Bacon Caramel Sundae is no longer available at TriloBites. While updating their menu they also removed their Ice Cream Floats and Waffle Cones, too.

Terra Treats, Smiling Crocodile, and Caravan Road are also closed now that the Tasting Sampler program is over… for now, anyway. These seasonal spots will reopen for busy park days.

We love this new Mickey Tree of Life shirt, because just like the real Tree of Life there are hidden animals in the design.

This is the first time we’ve seen this beautiful large display of jewelry in Africa. During our visit, a bead artist was there as well. We found this next to the area where the woodcarvers work and display their art.
