If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog you’ll know that Disney brought back a socially-distanced version of the beloved Lion King stage show called A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King. This production will be phased out and the original version of the production will be returning tumbling monkeys and all starting on July 16th.
For those visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom in early July, this means that Celebration of Festival of the Lion King will be officially closing on July 4th and that the theater will remain dark from July 5 – July 15, 2022 in anticipation of the return of the original production.
When the original Festival of the Lion King production returns, guest participation will still remain on hiatus. However we can confirm that Lightning Lane entry WILL be available for the show via Genie+
We expect more exciting details regarding the return of this beloved production in the days and weeks ahead. This includes performance times, updates to the production and more.
