Festival of the Lion King |
This colorful, dynamic pageant set to music from “The Lion King” features singers, dancers, acrobats, and floats, and really sets your hands to clapping! The 1,000-seat theater-in-the-round affords many great vantage points, but arrive early to sit down front. Try the first or last shows for shortest waits. Lots of audience participation and lots of fun! This theatre is fully air-conditioned. This show moved in 2014 from Camp Minnie-Mickey to Africa (see map on 5623). Outdoor queue is uncovered. No external video lights. Wheelchair accessible. Assistive listening. Alex’s ToddlerTip: :) Allie’s KidTip: “If you sit in the front you might get asked to play music!” TweenTip: “Try to make the animal sounds.”

This is like a Broadway show at WDW. They pull audience members to participate. The singing is so beautiful. My favorite is the acrobatic monkeys. They are so entertaining.
