Today I'm dreaming that I'm spending the morning here at Harambe Market in Animal Kingdom

Wish I Was Here...

Good Morning from the Tree of Life

So beautiful that I had to share! Exactly 3 weeks from today, this is how I will be starting my morning! I just can't wait!

Zuri's Sweets Now Open at Animal Kingdom

A new store, Zuri's Sweets, is now open in Harambe Market at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

I am pretty excited to try some of the delicious new treats available!

I LOVE Rice Krispie Trests! Especially when they're Mickey shaped!

Yum! Chocolate crocodiles!

African Spice Popcorn sounds delicious!

Those hot cocoa flavors look so good!

There are over 80 new items featured at Zuri's Sweets, from chocolate and popcorn, to spice rubs and barbecue sauce. I can't wait to sample some!

Animal Kingdom Starbucks Now Open

The 4th Walt Disney World Starbucks location inside of the parks, has opened today at Disney's Animal Kingdom. This new Starbucks, named Creature Comforts, is located in the Discovery Island area of the park.

I LOVE the theming! I am so impressed! There have been a lot of negative responses to Starbucks entering Walt Disney World, but I don't see how you could complain about this latest addition. It fits right in with Animal Kingdom's look and feel. I don't think you'd ever really know this was a Starbucks if you just walked by without paying much attention.

Wanna hear the best part? A portion of the sale of every Flat White Latte at this location is donated to conservation programs that preserve the Cotton-Top Tamarins in Columbia. This drink was chosen to reflect the fluffy cotton top crests on the monkeys heads.

Days of Disney Past - DINOSAUR

Last week marked the 15th Anniversary of Disney's animated feature Dinosaur. The Disney Parks Blog posted a short article remembering the days of Disney past, when Dinosaur first opened at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

In 1998 the attraction now known as Dinosaur first opened as Countdown to Extinction:

I remember experiencing this attraction in 1998 before its grand opening to the public, at a Disney Vacation Club member soft opening. Here's a picture of the ride under construction:

After the release of Dinosaur, the ride was re-themed to include Aladar the iguanadon:

This ride still scares me every time, but I love it! I enjoyed taking a look at the past to remember how I first experienced Countdown to Extinction. (All photo credit to the Disney Parks Blog).
