Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery

On previous visits, there have been tables outside of Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery, but we noticed the tables had been removed this past week.

Tusker House

Tusker House is set to reopen on June 20th and we saw some preparations in progress! There were social distancing stickers out front and we could hear some Cast Members inside.

Tamu Tamu Refreshments

Though it’s not new, we did snag a Chocolate Twist from Tamu Tamu Refreshments.

Chocolate Twist

This pastry is a great alternate option to the Cheshire Cat Tail and the Tiger Tail — and it’s much cheaper!

Animal Kingdom Construction Updates

Various Locations

One day, a power outage in Disney’s Animal Kingdom caused a whopping five rides to close for a portion of the day!

Things were back up and running relatively quickly but it was still an interesting interruption!

We also spotted that the digital signs in the park were now sporting a message about current face mask requirements. Masks must be worn at all times indoors and on attractions.

Dinoland, U.S.A.

Dinosaur has had some updates! Plexiglass has been removed from the ride vehicles and they are now seating every row. Our reporter was seated with a party of two, with one seat between the two parties.

Asia

We’re not totally sure, but it looked like the Vista of the Himalayas sign had a fresh paint job.

Disney has also updated the rules for outdoor theatres as we spotted in Feathered Friends in Flight, the current show in Animal Kingdom’s Asia.
