Frog Overview

Festival of the Lion King is a broadway-quality show based on Disney’s animated classic, "The Lion King." The show begins with four performers getting the audience ready for the action to come. Each section of the audience, led by one of the performers, will practice making the sound of the animal that section represents. (Here’s your chance to roar like a lion, snort like a warthog, trumpet like an elephant or bleat like a giraffe!) The main part of Festival of the Lion King is, well, a “festival” of singing, dancing, stilt-walking, acrobatics and fire-juggling all with beautiful lighting and musical effects.

Festival of the Lion King is, by far, one of our favorite shows in all of Walt Disney World® Resort; we make a point to see it at least once on every trip. Tad loves the audience participation aspect of the show when he gets to act like an animal. Lily loves the bright costumes and gymnastics. Mommy Frog loves the music. Leap...he loves relaxing in the air-conditioned theater!

Festival of the Lion King is a 30-minute show in an air-conditioned, 1,450-seat amphitheater and is located in Camp Minnie-Mickey at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. It is performed several times throughout the day so check the Times Guide for a show schedule. Festival of the Lion King is enjoyed by guests of all ages and is one of the most popular shows in Walt Disney World® Resort. The theater has bench seating with no backs.
