Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating Earth Day with some new treats!
Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom will also be celebrating its 25th Anniversary on Earth Day this year. So basically, it’s an exciting time to visit this wild park. We recently tried a limited-time snack here that was covered in bees (in a good way) and now, we’re back to try another snack!
We headed to Pizzafari to check out this new treat. While Pizzafari typically serves pizza, a chicken parmesan sandwich, and salads, this is where you’ll find the NEW Elephant Cupcake dessert. (It can also be found at Restaurantosaurus.)
Pizzafari
The Elephant Cupcake is $5.99 and can be ordered at the counter or through Mobile Ordering on the My Disney Experience app.
We’ve got another treat to try today! This is the Elephant Cupcake from Pizzafari! Find it there for $5.99!

This cupcake is made up of a graham cracker cake, pineapple filling with matcha buttercream, crispy pearls, and a chocolate elephant.
Wow!
The details on the chocolate elephant are stunning. It’s undeniably Instagram-worthy, but how does it taste?
The Elephant Is Huge!
Well, the graham cracker base had a light graham cracker flavor but was not too overpowering. The matcha icing tasted mostly of sugar with little matcha flavor. And, unfortunately, we were disappointed in the pineapple filing because it was very light. We were hoping it would really pack a punch, but the flavor was much more subtle.
It Is Pretty!
The crispy pearls and the chocolate elephant added a nice texture difference to a large amount of icing on the cupcake though, so that was nice.
Lots of Crispy Pearls!
Quick tip: the cupcake easily crumbles due to the graham cracker base so we recommend grabbing a fork to help you eat this thing!
The Pineapple Filling Inside
Overall, we thought this was a pretty good option for a dessert at Animal Kingdom but it fell short on flavor — we just really wish it had been punchier! If you like cupcakes with lots of icing or are wanting to try a graham-cracker cupcake, this might be for you! But if you’re hoping for lots of that pineapple and graham-cracker flavors, you might want to pass on this one.
