On July 23, the WDW Annual Passholders Instagram account hinted at numerous new offerings coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, including a new magnet. Now, thanks to a clip shared on Instagram, we have a better idea of what to expect from the magnet that will be released at some point in the near future.

At the start of the video, a cover sits over a plate of food. An arm, reminiscent of Timon’s, appears and removes the cover. This all but confirms that the new magnet will be inspired by “The Lion King.”

The removal of the cover reveals a pile of grubs and other bugs. They all slither away revealing a plate that reads, “New Passholder Magnet Coming Soon!” The words are then replaced by Mickey’s head inside of the Annual Passholder logo. Mickey winks. A release date for the new magnet has not been announced.

It seems that this new magnet will be the latest part of the 30th anniversary celebration of “The Lion King.” Other offerings have included Rafiki and Timon meet and greetsspecial menu itemsPandora jewelry charms, and merchandise
