We’ve got GREAT news for those headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Welcome back, Simba!
You might remember how excited we were when Festival of the Lion King reopened a few months ago. Despite the changes to the show, it’s still as popular as ever. That means you could have trouble getting a seat, but that just got a bit easier!
The Festival of the Lion King has added two daily showtimes to the schedule — 9:30AM and 2PM. You can spot the new showtimes in the My Disney Experience app and on the Disney website!

Previously, shows only took place at 10:30AM, 11:30AM, 12:30PM, 3PM, 4PM, and 5PM. This show certainly remains a must-do for us so we’re happy that there are now a whopping eight shows daily.
A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King
Remember, since this show is so popular, the queue can get pretty long! You’ll want to get in line nice and early to ensure you get a seat.
