Tucked away at Camp Minnie-Mickey in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is perhaps the best stage show at the Walt Disney World Resort, Festival of the Lion King.  Filled with color and excitement, unforgettable music, audience interaction, dance, acrobatics, puppetry, even stiltwalking; this lavish production has it all.

 

Larger-than-life animated figures of the animal characters, brilliantly-costumed singers, dancers, and gymnasts provide non-stop entertainment.  The audience is treated to quiet, mesmerizing performances, then caught up in the sweeping pageantry of a joyous African celebration.  It is everything that great theater should be:  engaging, inspiring, moving.

 

The air-conditioned theater-in-the-round seats more than 1000 guests.  Perfect for all ages, this is a very popular attraction and the lines can be long.  We suggest arriving at the park early and attending the first show of the day.
