Disney4me Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 We’ve got all the latest in our What’s New at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom! Come along while we share lots of menu changes, loads of 20th Anniversary merchandise, and a few construction updates! Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life Updated Menus and Eats at Disney’s Animal Kingdom The Smiling Crocodile has dropped the Salmon BLT from the menu, but the Turkey BLT and Pimento-Cheese BLT happily remain! No more Salmon BLT at The Smiling Crocodile Thanks for sticking around, Pimento Cheese BLT! Pimento Cheese BLT The Feeding Ground has added Frozen Lemonade with Mango Rum or Raspberry Vodka. (See where else you can get a brand new spiked drink in Animal Kingdom!) Spiked Frozen Lemonade at The Feeding Ground At Tamu Tamu Refreshments, the Chocolate Waffle has been removed and replaced by a Malva Cake Sundae. Malva Cake Sundae at Tamu Tamu Refreshments Malva Cake The Viperwolf Paw we told you about at Pongu Pongu and the Pandora Ice Cream Cart has been changed. It’s no longer a paw shape, and it’s now called an Almond-Cinnamon Bun. It still looks yummy, but we miss the fun shape. Almond Cinnamon Bun at Pongu Pongu and Pandora Ice Cream Cart Pizzafari has seen a reboot of its menu. Flatbreads have been replaced by circular pizzas once again (save for the Shrimp Flatbread, which thankfully remains!). They’ve also removed the Cheeseburger and the Mediterranean options and added a Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza. Pizzafari Menu Updates Both Hearts of Romaine salads are gone from the menu. Now there’s a basic Caesar Salad with Chicken. Shrimp Flatbread still at Pizzafari They’ve also changed the dessert from Tiramisu to Cannoli Cake! Cannoli Cake now at Pizzafari Meanwhile at delicious Nomad Lounge, the Brisket Poutine is still off the Small Plate Menu. Such a bummer (and a big loss for the menu, since it’s awesome!). No more Brisket Poutine at Nomad Lounge Over at Yak and Yeti Restaurant, the 44 Farms Burger is off the menu, and the Chef’s Fresh Catch is on. Menu Update at Yak and Yeti Restaurant Harambe Market has removed the Tikka Masala Chicken and the Grilled Vegetable Stack. R.I.P. Vegetable Stack! They’ve added a Roasted Vegetables entree to compensate for the absent Stack. The Corn Battered Beef and Pork Sausage has been replaced by simple Pork Sausage (no longer battered, according to the cast member, who says the only battered option left is the kids’ corn dog). And the Beef and Lamb entree (which was a gyro flatbread) is now an actual Gyro. Harambe Market Menu Update And the Safari Cake has replaced the Warm Malva Cake here. Harambe Market Menu Update Flame Tree Barbecue has dropped the Lime Mousse dessert and added Banana Maple Cake. New dessert at Flame Tree BBQ. And all over the park, you can now find that the Lion King-themed snacks and treats have newly updated packaging. Lion King Treats available at various locations Zebra Stripe Popcorn Striped Rice Krispie Treat Spotted Rice Krispy Treat Gummi Spiders Gummi Insects Confetti Popcorn Animal Crackers Eight Spoon Cafe has changed the format of its Baked Macaroni and Cheese. Previously served in a black souffle cup, it’s now served in a cardboard boat. Eight Spoon Cafe Menu And while it looks quite a bit different, on our most recent visit, it was still baked with lots of cheese and just as flavorful. Baked Mac and Cheese with Sweet Chili Shrimp It’s all a little more mixed together now, rather than layered like it was previously. Ultimately, this makes it a little easier to eat, since there’s room to move the toppings around. Baked Mac and Cheese with Shrimp The Dawa Bar has added the Ngumu Jungle Juice served on the rocks rather than frozen. Dawa Bar Menu Caravan Road has removed the Asian Noodle Salad. The menu is now just two items: Teriyaki Beef Slider and Edamame. Caravan Road Menu And Drinkwallah has reopened with the same menu as before its renovation. Drinkwallah Menu Disney’s Animal Kingdom Construction Speaking of the Drinkwallah reno, check out the fantastic new look! Drinkwallah is open! Drinkwallah has reopened The entrance is bit more opened up, making it a little easier to get in and out. Drinkwallah entrance Drinkwallah ordering area Of course the Animal Kingdom details we expect are everywhere — including these auspicious garlands over the ordering counter. But I do kind of miss walking into an actual structure versus having this be a walk-up window like it is now. Drinkwallah details Drinkwallah behind the counter And if you’re looking for it, we’ve found the Way Out! See ya, Drinkwallah! Over in the Tree of Life Garden there are some construction walls, and some animal habitats are blocked off. Walls up in the Tree of Life Garden and some animal viewing areas Pardon our appearance! Out foraging! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Merchandise Animal Kingdom merchandise is all kinds of awesome all the time, and right now, there are some great character tees!
