The Festival of the Lion King is an Animal Kingdom Must do for most, opening in 1998. The show was relocated from Camp Minnie-Mickey to an indoor seating location in Animal Kingdom’s Africa in 2014 to make way for Pandora the World of Avatar. The show isn’t a recreation of the movie, but rather a celebration of the music and culture of the Lion King. Post pandemic, the show returned as “A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King” a modified version mindful of the continuing pandemic conditions at the time, Adjustments took place onstage and backstage, including updates to choreography and temporarily pausing some show elements to allow for appropriate physical distancing. Most notably, the tumble monkeys. Disney recently announced the return of the original production in the summer of 2022, this recording is the post-pandemic, “socially” distanced version. The show includes classic songs like “Hakuna Matata” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” and a finale including “Circle of Life.”

New daytime entertainment is stirring at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, as “Disney KiteTails” comes alive several times daily beginning Oct. 1 at the Discovery River Theater. Performers fly windcatchers and kites of all shapes and sizes, while out on the water elaborate three-dimensional kites – some stretching to 30 feet long – depict Disney animal friends, including Simba, Zazu, Baloo, and King Louie. These colorful creations dance through the sky to the beat of favorite Disney songs in an uplifting, vibrant experience for the whole family.
