Celebrate the Beauty of Nature With This Parrot Mug
Before we get into the new mug that arrived at Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, I want to take you back to 1998.
As Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened, Disney and McDonald’s partnered to create a series of happy meal toys featuring the real stars of the park- the animals.
Sure, there was a dinosaur and dragon thrown in there, but Disney wanted everyone to know what they were coming to the park to see, the beauty and majesty of the natural world.
While Animal Kingdom has largely remained true to its core, more and more merchandise coming out of the park has featured Disney characters. From Mickey and his friends to the characters of UP! and Avatar, the park has strayed from using the animals themselves in merchandise.
The Real Star of the Animal Kingdom
All of this brings us back to the present, where we visited Riverside Depot at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. While their, we came across a mug that will bring you back to 1998.
This Animal Kingdom mug features one of the real stars of the park on the front, a parrot.
This green and blue bird may never have appeared in a Disney movie, but if you have ever seen Flights of Wonder you know what stars these birds can be.
The thing that really makes this mug unique is the parrot’s beak. As opposed to just being painted on, the birds beak actually sticks out in 3D.
Last but not least, this mug’s handle is also unique. With its strange shape, and yellow hue, it will certainly stand out in your mug collection.
