What’s New in Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Merchandise, Cupcakes, and Otters!

We’re always on the lookout for What’s New in the parks of Walt Disney World, and today we’re journeying to Animal Kingdom! Come along as we check out fun new merchandise, a seasonal cupcake, and… otters? Yeah…otters!

Welcome to Animal Kingdom!

Animal Kingdom Times Guide

We start our tour with a look at the Times & Animal Guide! Even if you’re not at Walt Disney World it’s fun to daydream about how you’d spend your day!

Creature Comforts is this park’s Starbucks location, and we found a lovely spring cupcake in the pastry case!

The Easter Cupcake is yellow cake with key lime filling, buttercream, toasted coconut, and fondant eggs.

You can get yours packaged to go if you prefer, but beware those warm temperatures!

At present, the Easter Cupcake is replacing the Tiger Cupcake. We’ll keep an eye out to see if the tiger returns after the Easter holiday.

On our visit, Warung Outpost didn’t have any Kevin from UP! cupcakes. Cast members weren’t sure when or if they would return, but they’d been out the entire day.

See our previous review of the cupcake (and the Himalayan Explorer cocktail) here!

Animal Kingdom Otter Grotto

Otter Grotto has officially reopened in the park’s Discovery Island.

LovePop opened a storefront in Disney Springs in October, but it’s nice to be able to shop these beauties in the parks, too!

Meanwhile in spirit jersey news (that’s totally a thing, right?), find this The Lion King jersey in Africa, too!

This The Lion King Loungefly backpack is so fabulous, it’s the perfect souvenir to celebrate the movie’s 25th anniversary and the upcoming live-action version!

The sock game is strong at Animal Kingdom — and there are loads of new designs!

The Mountain Man socks are a great partner to the Mountain Man hat we found in Hollywood Studios last week! (See that here!) Girls, no shame in wearing some Mountain Man socks while you’re runnin’ the world, btw. 😉

If you collect Disney World magnets, you’ll want to get your hands on these ‘it’s a small world’ magnets. We love this whole set!
