That’s where we’re at today as we take you on a tour of this one-of-a-kind park to see What’s New!

What’s New on Discovery Island

Discovery Island is where you’ll find The Feeding Ground, though this spot is probably better known as the Discovery Island Popcorn Stand.

Lion King Drum Bucket

This is one of two locations (the other being Mahindi in the Africa section of the park) where we found a new arrival: The Lion King Drum Souvenir Popcorn Bucket!

We also found out that the Bird Cupcake has flown back into Creature Comforts.

Not sure how long our colorful pal will stick around before his next flight, so you’ll want to keep an eye out.

You may recall that — as part of a series of specialty treats celebrating The Lion King — the Royal Anandapur Tea Company has been offering The Lion King latte art on select coffee beverages.

You’ll now find a plant-based Spicy Southwestern Burger and Restaurantosaurus Cobb Salad among the entrees.

New Entrees at Restaurantosaurus

These have taken the place of the Black Bean Burger and the Grilled Chicken Salad with Mandarin Oranges and Cranberries that were previously on the menu. (A couple of sides were also removed: the Guacamole and Potato Soup.)
