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.

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.
