Do you ever wonder how our reporters can go to Disney World every day and not get bored?
An empty walkway in Animal Kingdom
It’s because Disney is constantly changing things in the parks, with new eats and drinks, updated rides, and lots of new merchandise and souvenirs. We keep track of all of those changes so that you know what’s different when you go back! Come along with us to see what’s new over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
This time around, we found a lot of new souvenirs in this park, so let’s go shopping!
Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Discovery Trading Company
At Discovery Trading Company, we saw that all of the single-use plastic bags have been removed from the registers. A Cast Member told us that only reusable bags were available here, and those bags recently got a price discount that should be park-wide. Now, reusable bags cost $1 for a small, $1.50 for a medium, and $3 for a large.

We’ll be watching at the other Disney World parks to see if this change is happening at all the gift shops.
We spotted a few new items, like an Aristocats-themed cat toy for $17.99…

Island Mercantile
Over at Island Mercantile, we spotted the new 50th anniversary Minnie ears for $34.99.
