Zuri’s Sweets Shop

Someone noted the sweet selection was small, but I don't think so. They shop if located to one side of the main souvenirs store in Africa. It has two large cases for cup cakes, cookies, fudge, and other misc baked goods. But all the walls in this area are lined with candied sweets of sorts. They had a giant pineapple cookie that was almost too pretty to eat.

On Tuesday, November 2, 2021, we visited Disney's Animal Kingdom. We had enjoyed lunch (and drinks!) at Nomad Lounge. In the afternoon, we went to Zuri's Sweets Shop to look for some dessert items. We found some great ones! I was about to get this GIANT Mickey-shaped cookie, but I asked after any 50th Celebration specialties on offer. They had this amazing cupcake, which I selected in addition to fudge. We paid and began making our way out to eat our treats at Harambe Market across the street. Well, b efore we made it out of the building, we had a serious problem! It was our own doing completely, and I won't go into detail, but I bring it up because two Cast Members saw what happened and rushed over to assist us. Mind you, this was our fault completely, not anything Disney had done or could've done. But that didn't matter to these CMs! They came to our rescue and corrected what had gone wrong. They were so kind, and while we were embarrassed about what happened, they both brushed that away, saying that accidents happen. We left happy, and our desserts were made all the more sweet thanks to the kindness we experienced. I regret that I didn't pay attention to their names, but it all happened so quickly! 5-star rating ONLY because we can't give more! The sweets here are delicious, and the staff are simply AMAZING:-)
