Hearts and imaginations will soar as larger-than-life kites and colorful props dance through the air to the beat of beloved Disney songs. Enjoy 2 unique shows, each themed to a beloved Disney animated classic:
- The Lion King, featuring kites inspired by Simba, Zazu and more
- The Jungle Book, featuring kites inspired by King Louie, Baloo and more
Kite Tails first debuted in October as part of the kick-off for the 50th Anniversary Celebration. The vibrant celebration of music, color and kites – some as large as 30 feet long – depicting Simba, Baloo and more has been delighting guests since the first show.
