 Festival of the Lion King
Plunge right into the middle of the action in this cleverly staged
in-the-round production featuring songs from the film and a cast of
familiar faces, including Simba, Timon and Pumbaa. Combining the pageantry
of a parade with all the excitement of a tribal celebration, this is a
lavish, high energy spectacle created through song, dance and specialty
performances. Live stage show production that borrows songs from the
popular Disney animated classic, but it doesn’t stop there. Singers,
dancers, acrobats and a good portion of crowd participation all combine to
make this quite possibly the best offering to be found at the Animal
Kingdom.

Disney Tip: This show is very popular, so early arrival helps to
ensure getting a seat. Get
in on the action by interacting with Cast Members when they ask for
group participation.
With its newly enclosed theater,
Festival of the Lion King is a great place to cool off. |

 Flights Of Wonder
"Wing" on in to the Caravan Stage and join a trainee bird handler and a
wayward tour guide who teach each other about the delicate state of nature.
See birds such as vultures, hawks, colorful macaws, crowned crane and the

live stage show presentation is similar in format to the aquatic shows we
all have seen, except the mammals and fish are replaced with birds. This
extremely well done and funny show is also informative and a real treat for
the whole family.
