If you are visiting Disney World between June 10 and September 9 this year you will be able to try some specialty items celebrating the 30th anniversary of ‘The Lion King.’ The items below will all be available at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Starting with Discovery Island, guests will find The Simba at Eight Spoon Cafe. This drink is a mango-flavored slushy combined with grenadine and topped with two gummy candies. Then head over to Isle of Java of the Timon’s Luau dessert, which is vanilla chiffon, passion fruit curd, guava jam, vanilla chantilly cream, an edible tropical flower, and mint.

Also at Tiffins guests will find the “Remember Who You Are” dessert, which is a coffee mousse filled with caramelized bananas, chai chantilly, banana-caramel sauce, chocolate-coffee crumble, a chocolate decoration, and a sugar sun.
While visiting the Africa section of Animal Kingdom guests can get the Zazu Ice Cream Sandwich at Tamu Tamu Refreshments.

A delicious sounding Dole Whip will be available at Trilo-bites during this celebration. The Zazu Dole Whip Lime and Coconut Float has swirls of Dole Whip Lime into Sprite, coconut and blue curaçao syrup, and topped with a chocolate Zazu medallion.
One item that will be available at multiple food cart locations in Animal Kingdom is the Simba Paw Cookie. This cookie looks almost too adorable to eat … almost. It’s a sugar cookie with icing to make it look like Simba’s paw. So cute!

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to check out our Countdown to Disney app! Feel free to email me with suggestions of things you would like to see in the app :-)
