What’s New in Animal Kingdom: Pirate and 50th Anniversary EARS

Jambo, everyone!

Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom

Here at DFB, we go to the Disney World theme parks almost every day so we can let you know what’s new when it comes to construction, merchandise, and of course FOOD! Today, we’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to bring you all the updates.

Animal Kingdom Food Updates

Zuri’s Sweets Shop

Over at Zuri’s Sweets Shop, we saw not one but TWO new Orange Bird-themed treats: the Orange Bird Candy Apple

Orange Bird Candy Apple

…and the Orange Bird Mickey Mouse Cookie!

Orange Bird Cookie

Look, we like Orange Bird as much as the next person, but this cookie is a little off-putting. You can grab the cookie for $5.49 and the candy apple for $10.99.

And we saw this blue Mickey Cinch Sack, which is a backpack that, instead of having zippers, you pull the straps to close and it cinches up at the top. It shows Mickey in multiple poses, including one where he’s eating a popsicle! You can grab it for $24.99.

Speaking of ears we’ve seen before, Discovery Trading Company also has these Pirate Ears that we also saw in the Emporium in Magic Kingdom. Because they are Loungefly ears, they are a little pricer at $39.99 each.

And finally for Discovery Trading Company, we saw two 4th of July plushes, a Mickey one…
