Disney's Animal Kingdom News Round-Up for February 12, 2014: Chocolates, Ducks and Barks

Valentine Chocolates at the Animal Kingdom Lodge:  According to the Disney Parks Blog, this week the Animal Kingdom Lodge will have some special chocolates for sale.  Click here for details.

It’s a Valentine’s dream come true in the Jambo House lobby of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge from 4-9 p.m. February 9 – 15. Surprise your sweetheart with a trip to see the animals on the savanna, but start with a stop in the lobby to pick out your indulgence.

Surprisingly, the prices are not outrageously expensive, though they are priced in that typical "magical" range we are used to.  Having said that, the five white-chocolate-covered sandwich cookies certainly sound incredibly good!

New Residents at the Former Komodo Dragon Exhibit:  As we told you a week ago or so, the Komodo Dragon who has been a part of the Maharajah Jungle Trek for years has passed away.  And in his place it appears the animal handlers turned the area over to some birds, including the Bar-Headed Goose.

And we are also hearing that a new Komodo Dragon may be on the way to that area soon.  But we need to file that in the rumor category for now as we don't have confirmation yet.  Until then, these guys can keep the place warm.

Russell's Bark-O-Lator Debuts:  We have been expecting some new interactive elements to be added to the queue area of the Dug and Russell Meet-N-Greet on Discovery Island.  Well, this week Russell's Bark-O-Lator has opened.  The best way to describe this is to show you a video brought to us by the folks at On The Go In MCO...
