food IS a theme park
How familiar with you with all of Disney World entertainment offerings?
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
We’ve seen new merchandise, new snacks, and new shows too. Recently it was announced that one of Animal Kingdom’s beloved KiteTails show would be closing. But in happier news, there are now showtimes online for Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life Awakenings show!
If you’re looking for unique entertainment, you’ll want to fast-walk over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Tree of Life
A stage show themed after our favorite fish? They’ve got that. Tumbling monkeys? YUP, they have that too. Characters flying in the sky? That’s also a thing. And, of course, Animal Kingdom also has…you guessed it — (real) animals. But next month, one animal show will be closing for a short refurbishment.
What’s your favorite show at Disney World? There is a lot to choose from like “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration” in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or even something like “Mickey’s PhilharMagic” in Magic Kingdom!
Festival of the Lion King
One popular Disney World show is “Festival of the Lion King” at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This show recently brought back more of its iconic show elements after operating for quite some time as the more limited “A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King,” and now its showtimes are changing.
Slowly but surely, our favorite entertainment is coming back to Disney World!
Mickey and Minnie at Adventurers Outpost
From the parades to the stage shows, we’ve been excited whenever we’ve seen another Disney World performance return to the parks. We recently saw the reopening of the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue and the revamped version of Animal Kingdom’s Finding Nemo musical, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond! We noticed showtimes for another Animal Kingdom show!
KiteTails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been a joyous addition to the 50th Anniversary Celebration at Disney World.
Hey There!
The show features giant kites themed to different Disney movies, and honestly, watching them fly might not be as fun as watching them fall. You never know what to expect from a performance of Kite Tails, making it a fan favorite Animal Kingdom activity. We recently saw that showtimes were missing for the end of the month, and we knew that the show would be reimagined, and now, we finally know what’s going on.
It seems like operations are almost fully back to normal in Disney World, as dining options and entertainment offerings are slowly but surely coming back to the parks.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Cast Members are celebrating Earth Day all month long with new treats and experiences. But, it looks like we’ll soon have something else to celebrate, as we’ve got an update on a reimagined show AND news about character meet and greets. Let’s dive in!
Disney World has a ton of different entertainment options, from parades to shows to character appearances.
Festival of Fantasy is BACK!
Many of these options have just recently returned to the park, like the Festival of Fantasy Parade and Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire. And soon, even traditional meet and greets will be returning (meaning you can hug Mickey again!). Disney has also debuted some new entertainment over the past year, like the Disney Enchantment fireworks in Magic Kingdom and Disney KiteTails in Animal Kingdom. But now, changes are coming to one of these shows in the parks.
Do you love Festival of the Lion King in Disney’s Animal Kingdom?
Festival of the Lion King
You certainly aren’t alone! The fan-favorite show returned to Disney World in May of 2021 and has had an interesting journey since then. The show returned under a new title called A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King and a few things were missing like the iconic birds flying in the air and the tumble monkeys (which are set to return soon!). Showtimes for this fan-favorite attraction have been fluctuating recently, but several shows were canceled today.
It’s 2022 now, and a lot of things have returned to pre-pandemic normal in Disney World.
Crowds in Magic Kingdom
Almost all of the Disney World hotels are open now (and the last one is returning at the end of March), and most dining locations are also open again. We’re still waiting for a few more things to return, like some of the restaurants and shows around the parks. We’re really missing a few fan-favorite productions, but good news: a lot of Disney World entertainment is coming back soon! Here’s a look at ALL of the entertainment that’s coming back to Disney World this year. [Read more…]
