Festival of the Lion King

Live show

About Festival of the Lion King

Disney World produces its finest show with this musical blend of live action characters, Cirque du Soleil-inspired stunts and audience participation. Acrobats, singers, dancers and the beloved Lion King characters captivate even the most jaded tourist with a fanciful display of skills, talent and humor. This show is the highlight of a visit to Animal Kingdom, and almost justifies a visit to the park by itself. -- Robert Niles

Simply the best show in any Orlando park...and this from a Universal-nut! So worth the time! Our section got to represent the lions...wooohoo! - Mark Fairleigh

This is without question Disney World's best show and the best show in any Central Florida theme park. It barely edges out Katonga at Busch Tampa. First rate. 10/10 - William Clark

Top notch show. Not to be missed. - Sylvain Comeau

A delightful experience. This show features songs from the greatest animated movie of all time. This show features some of the most talented performers at theme parks. The acrobats, singers, and the guy with the fire torch are all very impressive. This show is the best theatre attraction in the park and is an absolute must see. The theatre is really cool inside, so I recommend watching this when the temperature outside is really hot. - Manny Barron

This is a great show, and definitely a must-see when visiting animal kingdom. It is great for the entire family to enjoy together and escape the Florida sun. - Patrick Gorham

Its a very nice show. My only suggestion is bring a fan and water because it gets very hot under the shed the show is preformed under. a good way to take a rest break. - Melissa Faulkner

I don't normally want to visit a show more than once on the same trip. This is the only exception I can think of in years. I just HAD to watch it again before leaving WDW. It is that good. - Todd Houts
