There are a lot of still new things to enjoy at Animal Kingdom, and today we’ve got the scoop on a few of them!
Over at Tiffins, the much-lauded signature restaurant that embraces travel and adventure, diners may experience not one but two prix fixe menus! The first prix fixe option is designed for busy days — days when the restaurant has lots of ADRs lined up. Offerings include Braised Wagyu Pozole and Grilled Swordfish.
The second prix fixe option will be offered on not-so-busy days and offers a trio of appetizers, choice of entree including swordfish, wagyu, grilled chicken, or a noodle bowl, and a trio of desserts. Both menus are served only 11:30AM to 3:30PM.
Meanwhile, over in Pandora, visitors to the distant world can nosh on two new snacks! Both are available at Pongu Pongu, which until recently only served one edible delight: the Pongu Lumpia (which is delicious!) in addition to beverages. Now guests can feast on the Viper Wolf Paw.
This is essentially a cinnamon roll in the shape of, we have to assume, a Viper Wolf’s paw. It’s topped with shaved almonds, which lend a nice crunch.
This is a typical Disney World cinnamon roll, so don’t expect any surprises. But for $3.99 (or a snack credit!), it’s a good size and makes a satisfying snack if you’re, say, killing time in the line for Flight of Passage.
The second new pastry at Pongu Pongu is the Moara Coffee Cake, another cinnamon-y treat…but this time with a TON of food coloring.
This has a typical coffee cake flavor — heavy on the cinnamon. The bright swirls of color are just for show; they do not add any flavor. The cake itself is nice and moist, so if you prefer a drier, crumbly coffee cake, this one isn’t for you. (One has to wonder if the copious amounts of added food color might be to blame/thank for the moistness of the cake… .)
The topping has icing mixed in, which added some extra sweetness in addition to that awesome crumble.
The Moara Coffee Cake is $3.79 (and Disney Dining Plan Snack Credit eligible), so it’s also fairly reasonably priced. It’s really nice to have a couple of good pastry options, since so many guests are spending their early Animal Kingdom hours checking out the new rides.

Thanks for the new info. Any idea of pricing on the multi-course Tiffins meal? I’m assuming it’s something similar to the RoL dining package, but slightly less as you don’t get show seats? TIA!
