What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom: One of Our Favorite Entrees is BACK, Tons of Pandora Merch, and New Hours at Isle of Java!

We’re back with more updates from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Tree of Life

Animal Kingdom officially reopened to the public just over a week ago, and we’ve been scoping out the restaurants, merchandise, and attractions to see what’s new! Despite the relatively low crowds (and wait times!) it looks like Disney is still movin’ and shakin’ because we have plenty of updates to share! 

Animal Kingdom Food Update

Satu’li Canteen

Here’s some news that we’re so excited about we just had to share it first! At Satu’li Canteen in Pandora — The World of AVATAR, our beloved Cheeseburger Pods are BACK on the adult menu!

Cheeseburger Pods

Awhile back, the Cheeseburger Steamed Pods were taken off the adult menu, much to our despair! And while we technically could still get them, we had to cheat the system a bit by ordering one from the kid’s menu or trying to order the entree from the Cashier. But now, the full entree is available on Mobile Order

The entree is priced at $11.49 and it includes two pods, a side of Crunchy Vegetable Slaw, and Vegetable Chips.

Isle of Java

Located in the Discovery Island section of the park, Isle of Java is a kiosk that serves up coffee, cold beverages, breakfast pastries, and more. And currently, this location is only open from 8AM-11AM.

Isle of Java

So, for now, if you want an afternoon cup of coffee in Animal Kingdom you’ll have to head to another location like Royal Anandapur Tea Company or Creature Comforts!
