Each year Disney World introduces a plethora of new parades, shows, events, and food menu items. Many are temporary experiments. Some will never be seen from again, while others are slated to return. Here are two of the temporary “hits” introduced in 2010 that Disney World should definitely bring back again.


Taste of Africa Street Party
Think mini Epcot Food & Wine Festival located in the Harambe Village in the Africa section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom and focused on African food and drink offerings. The Taste Of Africa Street Party was successful because it was offered only for a limited number of hours at the end of each day (immediately following Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade until closing) and for a limited number of days.


The energy from the Cast Members was at a high level and the entertainment and demonstrations definitely added to this event. It really gave a reason to spend the entire day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The food and drinks were great and it was also an event that could be enjoyed with the whole family. I actually had my entire family with me when I experienced it and we all had a great time.

This event was so much fun and so impressive that Only WDWorld actually published 3 articles covering the event during its short run during last July.  For more details and pictures of the Taste Of Africa Street Party at Disney's Animal Kingdom check out:
