PHOTO REPORT: Disney’s Animal Kingdom 3/27/17 (AVATAR, Rivers of Light, New Merchandise, Willie the Anteater, Etc.)
Our latest photo report brings us to Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a wild adventure…
NAHTAZU
The bar area between Rainforest Cafe and the entrance of the park was heavily refurbished. Looks like they are expecting to reopen it once crowds arrive for Pandora.
Pandora looms in the distance.
A look at Pandora from the Animal Kingdom bus loop.
Work continues on the expansion of the bus loop.
Alright, time to head inside…
I always make sure to visit the Babirusa on my way through the Oasis.
Rivers of Light Merchandise
Nearly every store in the park is carrying Rivers of Light merchandise currently. I wonder if the opening of Pandora will change all of these displays…
The passholder tiger shirt pictured is now sold out. They are not expecting more.
A very shiny Rivers of Light logo pin.
The light-up ear hat ornament is pretty neat.
The totem pole is a Made with Magic item that interacts with the show, but also can interact with other Made with Magic products. You can see the totem wand in action below:
A variety of other glowing products are sold, including a fan and a necklace.
The most popular light-up item seems to be this lotus blossom “glow cube”, sold with beverages at the Thirsty River Bar by Expedition Everest and several other bar locations.
If you would like a drink recommendation, the Khumbu Ice Fall is my personal favorite.
Other New Items
An Easter Mickey Mouse plush is now available.
A limited edition Easter MagicBand 2 was released recently.
