And, we’ve got some food and merch updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

One of our FAVORITE cupcakes disappeared for a bit in Animal Kingdom (and we were totally bummed out about it). While we were SO excited to see that the Cotton-Top Tamarin Cupcake has returned to Creature Comforts, the previous version got a little makeover…

Here’s what the OLD Cotton-Top Tamarin Cupcake looked like!

…to the new Cotton-Top Tamarin Cupcake! The big dark and white chocolate piece that we LOVED has been replaced by a smaller white chocolate disc with a picture of a cute l’il cotton-top tamarin on it.

However, the flavors are still similar with a chocolate cake with chocolate filling and a buttercream frosting on top (which is just as delicious!). You can get the Cotton-Top Tamarin Cupcake for $5.99 or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit. And, you can even try the Bee Cupcake if you want double the treat! 😉

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Riverside Depot

Even when you’re out of the parks, you can make every outfit fabulous with the Mickey and Minnie Plush Purses (umm, adorable!!). Mickey is winking at everyone to let them know you’re obviously the coolest…

Minnie, on the other hand, has a big smile (probably laughing about one of your great inside jokes) with her signature bow!

Although the Yeti might seem a little scary on Expedition Everest, he’s all warm and cuddly with the Yeti Loungefly Backpack!! Just look at that little grin!

You can take him with you on your adventure through Asia…

…before you pick up some supplies on the way (obviously, we mean stock up on some snacks!). You can take home the snuggliest Yeti around for $80 at Riverside Depot!

The Boneyard Merchandise Cart

Call us nostalgic, but we love walking by The Boneyard to spot all the kids exploring the area! And, the grown-ups can even pop by The Boneyard Merchandise Cart for everything your traveling party needs.

Discovery Trading Co.

Wishables are some of the cutest plush toys around the Disney Parks, and we just can’t get enough of them!! Discovery Trading Co. is making Wishables even cuter with the latest Wishables Necklace!
