Festival Of The Lion King Is Back!

Festival Of The Lion King is a show located in Animal Kingdom that was closed due to the pandemic, but it reopened over the weekend!

Before the pandemic, you would sit in a large room with other people as you celebrate Simba.

Now of course, due to the pandemic, the show has physically distant guidelines. This is to make sure that the cast and you are all socially distant. This also means that you will not be seeing the tumble monkeys or the birds that fly above the stage.

You won’t see the birds now.

You have to be with your whole group before you can enter and be seated. Each group is split into groups with four people. Four people need to stand on each social distancing sticker when waiting outside.

I know that all these rules seem like a lot, but at least we can see the Festival Of The Lion King show again!

My Top Five Favorite Live Shows In Disney World

Disney World has many amazing live shows and today I will be sharing with you my favorite ones!

5. My fifth favorite live show is The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats in the China pavilion. This live show is actually performed by kids! This show even made my list of My Top Five Favorite Things To Do In The China Pavilion. Update: Due to the corona virus, The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats is currently closed.

4. My forth favorite live show is Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage in Magic Kingdom. You get a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story in the form of a musical. Now if this show is outside, why is it in front of The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats in my ranking? Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage has a cover and many fans that will help you stay cool. This show is great and Gaston is really funny! Update: Due to the corona virus, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage is currently closed.

3. My third favorite live show is Frozen Sing Along in Hollywood Studios. Princess Anna is trying to find her sister Queen Elsa and to pass the time the storytellers of Arendelle tell you the Frozen story. I really like all the jokes that the storytellers say and sometimes they even make each other start laughing. Even if you aren’t a fan of the movie Frozen, you will still enjoy this show.

2. My second favorite live show is the Festival of the Lion King show in Animal Kingdom. During this show, you sit in either the elephant, warthog, giraffe, or lion sections. The Festival of the Lion King is celebrating Simba. I really like how much dancing is in this show and you get to hear music from the movie. Update: Due to the corona virus, The Festival of the Lion King is currently closed, but it’s coming back this summer!

  1. My favorite live show in Disney World is the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! in Hollywood Studios. It is a stunt show with a lot of fire and explosions. During the show they ask for volunteers to help with stunts. You must be 18 or older to participate. There is a big surprise during the show. If you want to know what the surprise is, then you have to watch the show! Update: Due to the corona virus, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! is currently closed.

Those are my top five favorite live shows in Disney World. This was a very hard list to make since I like many live shows in Disney World!

In the summer, Festival Of The Lion King will return to Animal Kingdom. The show will have physical distancing guidelines. The seating will be different from before and the choreography will also be different for physical distancing reasons.

I am so excited that Festival Of The Lion King is coming back! My family and I love this show and we see it every time we go to Disney World.

Festival Of The Lion King Review

Festival Of The Lion King is an awesome show in Animal Kingdom!

Simba!

Update: Due to the corona virus pandemic, Festival Of The Lion King now has physical distancing guidelines.

Tip: Festival Of The Lion King has VERY long lines to get into the show. You want to make sure you know the time of when the show starts and try to get in line early so you don’t wait for a long time.

In Festival Of The Lion King, you sit in a large room with other people and watch a live show celebrating Simba. Each section of seats is separated into sections. You will either sit in the elephant, warthog, giraffe, or lion sections. Your job is to make noises like either an elephant, warthog, giraffe, or lion. No one ever knows what sound a warthog or a giraffe makes.

You will hear songs from The Lion King Movie sung live, crazy trampoline acrobatics, and you will even see FIRE! (Don’t worry, nothing will catch on fire.)

Every year we go to Disney World (except we couldn’t go this year because of the pandemic), and my family and I always see this show. We never get tired of it. Festival Of The Lion King is a very upbeat and happy show that puts you in a good mood.

Another great thing about this show is that because it is indoors it has AIR CONDITIONING and if you are going to Disney World in the summer, you are going to be so happy to cool off during the show.
