Disney4me Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Your pals at the DFB are back with What’s New, and this week we’re back at Animal Kingdom and the All-Star Resorts! We’ve got menu changes (Satu’li!!), new merchandise, and a couple new activities to share. Let’s gooooooo! Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom Eats, Drinks, and Menu Changes First, let’s address these changes at Satu’li Canteen. One is actually a great new addition: Combination Bowls! Updated Menu at Satu’li Canteen now with Combination Bowl! That’s right! Now diners can order their bowl with grilled beef and chicken! This is great if you can’t decide between the two — or if you’re sharing a Bowl and both want something different! Combination Bowl It’s still a substantial portion of food, too, as we’ve come to expect at Satu’li, and it still comes topped with your choice of sauce, some cole slaw, and a few popping pearls. Combination Bowl The Grilled Beef is as delicious as ever. Grilled Beef And the Chicken is great too — lightly spiced and with some good color. Chicken The other change at Satu’li is the removal of the Quinoa and Vegetable Salad Base. It’s been replaced by Rice and Black Beans. This is a bit of a bummer for those who enjoy quinoa. But the rice and black beans are tasty, with some mild spices and finely diced veggies mixed in. Rice and Black Beans Warung Outpost at the Animal Kingdom now has bottled Tiger Beer Asian Lager available.

Wagyu Entree at Tiffins is now Snake River Farms Wagyu Eye of Ribeye Previous plating of Wagyu Striploin and Braised Short Rib at Tiffins Thirsty River has added Tiger Beer Asian Lager and McKenzie’s Black Cherry Cider. Thirsty River has added Tiger Beer Asian Lager and McKenzie’s Black Cherry Slider The Restaurantosaurus menu has seen some noticeable changes. The Hot Dogasauraus has been removed, and a Battered Fish Entree has been added. Also, the menu now specifies that “Entrees 1, 2, 5, and 6 Include Topping Bar“. We don’t know how they’ll be keeping track of this, as previously it was implied that any meal came with the Topping Bar, and there’s no one stationed to guard the toppings… Happy Little Toppings on a Previous Visit The Vegetarian Burger description has been updated from “Vegetarian Black Bean Burger” to “Black Bean Burger with Provolone.” And Chili has been removed as a side option. Dessert is now a Warm Chocolate Caramel Brownie. Previously it was a Warm Chocolate Turtle Brownie. It looks similar, but the current version no longer has the nuts on top. Changes to Restaurantosaurus Menu The Drinks menu at Restaurantosaurus has also seen two changes. The Cretaceous Cooler (which we enjoyed!) has been removed, and a Lime Margarita has been added. Two drink changes at Restaurantosaurus We told you about the new additions over at Pongu Pongu. They’ve added the delicious and colorful Rum Blossom and a Colossal Pretzel with Cheese Sauce. New additions to Pongu Pongu Menu Anandapur’s Ice Cream Truck is now serving McKenzie’s Black Cherry Hard Cider Floats. That’s the hard cider with your choice of vanilla, chocolate, or twist soft serve. Mr. Anandapur’s Ice Cream Truck now has McKenzie’s Black Cherry Hard Cider Float And sadness: Souvenir Lotus Glow Cubes and Souvenir Popcorn Drums are no longer available at Mahindi. We loved these! Mahindi Changes Good bye, Lotus Blossom Popcorn Bucket! The Pandora Ice Cream Cart has added Melissa’s Clean Snax in Coconut or Cranberry for $4.00 each. And you can now find Orlando Brewing Company Organic Blonde Ale here for $10. Additions to Pandora Ice Cream Cart Melissa’s Clean Snacks at Pandora Ice Cream Cart Pandora Ice Cream Cart beer offerings And at Creature Comforts (this park’s Starbucks location), guests can now find this beautiful Mocha Caramel Cupcake! Creature Comforts Mocha Caramel Cupcake And he’s not a food or a menu change, but guests can now meet Timon (with his mischievous look!) in Discovery Island near Creature Comforts. Meet Timon at Animal Kingdom New Animal Kingdom Merchandise Banshees are now available at the Outdoor Merchandise Cart in Pandora! Banshees now available at Pandora’s Outdoor Merchandise Cart You’ll find a few new ball caps at Animal Kingdom merchandise locations too. Wild Cap available at Animal Kingdom Queen of Hearts Cap Hakuna Matata Cap If Minnie Ears are more your style, there are a few new variations in the park too! Red and White Minnie Ears with Bow Sparkly Giraffe Minnie Ears Lion King Minnie Ears Hakuna Matata on Lion King Minnie Ears And I’m not sure how anyone can resist this Thumper Purse. That’s one cute bunny (apologies to Judy Hoppes for the use of the word “cute”, but it fits!). Thumper Purse available at Animal Kingdom All-Star Resorts Updates There’s always plenty to see, do, and eat at the All-Star Resorts. And now the Resorts’ Mickey Tie-Dye activity includes Knee High Socks or Crew Socks. Fun! Mickey Tie-Dye has added Knee High Socks Option at all three All-Star Resorts Over at the World Premier Food Court at All-Star Movies, guests can now find several varieties of Canned Beer.

S’mores Brownie at Intermission Food Court And there’s a Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcake update. Yum! PB&J Cupcake at Intermission Food Court Doesn’t look like the most inventive cupcake ever, but when there’s peanut butter involved, we’re intrigued.
