Disney4me Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Jambo! We’re at Disney’s Animal Kingdom today to show you What’s New in the park! Come along! Hello from the Animal Kingdom! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Discovery Island On Discovery Island, Isle of Java now has the Simba Cupcake. Previously it was only available at Pizzafari, but we’re expecting to see LOTS of Lion King treats over the next few weeks as Disney gears up for the live-action movie’s release in July.
