Festival of the Lion King

If that gets you in the mood, you might be a Lion King fan, and we’re with you. To us, it’s not a day in Animal Kingdom without visiting Festival of the Lion King, which is one of our favorite shows across all of Disney World. Disney just filed a new permit for the show, and it could mean construction, refurbishments, or changes are on the way.

Disney has filed a permit for the Lion King Theater to “provide labor, material, and/or electrical for construction.”

Beautiful!

Disney hasn’t announced any changes or closures to the Festival of the Lion King, so it’s possible the work is being done at night after the park closes or in backstage areas. The theater is pretty big once you consider the stage and audience areas, backstage where they keep the floats and all the room for the performers.

You’ll finally be able to enter Casita and join the magical world of Encanto for the first time. The ride takes place during Antonio’s gift day, so you’ll get to see tons of animals and the whole family.

Indiana Jones is finally joining the East Coast, too! It will take over the DINOSAUR ride and will be a whole new storyline featuring snakes! Why does it always have to be snakes?
