Description: The most popular live show at Disney's Animal Kingdom is found at the Campside Circle. The "Festival of the Lion King" is a virtual explosion of colors, music and amazing talent. You will be treated to 30 minutes of a variety of some of Disney's best entertainment in this celebration. You'll hear some of "The Lion King's" most popular music performed by magnificent singers. Zany trampoline acrobatics are supplied by the Tumble Monkeys. A blaze of color, feathers, beads, fringe and beautiful head-dresses are found in the costumes of the singer and dancers. Talented stilt walkers dance to the pounding beat with apparent ease. Audio-animatronic and live costumed characters are introduced on enormous moving stages. The spectacular finale includes a heart-stirring rendition of the "Circle of Life".

Positive aspects of the product (pros): feel good
Cons: benches

It may seem corny, but you really feel good when you leave this show. My adult kids and husband, all musicians, also loved it so much that we made a point to go back and see it more than once in our recent trip. Listen also for the great chit/chat as you leave the theatre.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): great interaction
Cons: no Lions!

I really enjoyed the cas that we had for our perfomrance. I thought that they had great audience interaction. The costumes were great and the show was really fun. I just thought that we would see more of Simba or Scar. Either way, it was still a blast.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Staging, choreography, music >> basically everything
Cons: seating control

In my very humble opinion, this is the #1 attraction at WDW. The show is well staged, beautifully executed, and even after a decade or more, fresh as ever. We see it twice a year.


You simply cannot miss this!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great music and talent
Cons: A bit chaotic getting a seat

Wonderful show...we see it every trip. Fast paced, and lots to look at throughout the show.


It seems like a free for all to get seats and some guests get pretty aggressive...LOL!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Unexpected Fun
Cons:

The wife and I did not expect to like this, but we were blown away by how much fun this show was. Try to see Finding Nemo first, but don't pass this up.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): colorful, music
Cons: open air theater gets hot

This is a nice show. The costuming is really beautiful, along the lines of the Broadway show. The cast does a good job of keeping the crowd entertained both before and during the show. They have enclosed the theater to cut down on the heat, but it is still an outdoor theater, and gets hot in the summer months. Kids love the tumbling monkeys and the birds.

This show was amazing. My little nephew got to get up and dance with the dancers at the end. We loved the acrobatic monkeys. Well worth any wait.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): the best stage show in any park
Cons: lines can be long, and the crowd all leaves at once

Ornate theatrical costumes along with great songs from the movie make this a family favorite. There is frequently a long line, but the theater is huge, and when the crowd leaves, it has only one exit and one primaary route into the remainder of the park.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Emersive experience
Cons: Wait time/waiting area

Very moving. The beginning is full of atmosphere, then turns into a fun, showy Vegas style musical. The energy of the performs will make or break the experience. It is wonderful for kids, but alot of us grown ups like it as well. Not an attraction that I must see every trip, however.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great music, singing, and wonderful energy.
Cons: none

The music and the singing is unbelievably good. As good as any Broadway show I have seen. The show is energetic and very entertaining. My husband and I never get tired of seeing it and always find ourselves smiling throughout the show.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): epic production
Cons: theater is hot

sorry, i have to say I'm not a big fan of the Lion King MOVIE, but this particular production is amazing! With all the costumes, and musical and performance talent from every corner, this clearly rivals (and outshines in some respects) the Broadway production of the lion king.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): air condition seating
Cons: hokey

Once you've seen the show once, that is enough. It's better than Nemo though so if you have to choose, pick this one.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Amazing musical score and staging with top notch performers.
Cons: None

This show rivals many Broadway productions I have seen. The level of production and performance that has gone into FotLK simply creates an expience that even if you only see it once in your life will remain with you.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): fun show: great music, dancers and acrobats
Cons: the waiting area doesn't provide much protection from the heat and sun, uncomfortable seating

Easily one of Disney's best live shows. Good audience interaction, great dancers, music and acrobats. It's entertaining enough to see twice, and that not something I often say about shows. My only complaints are that the seating is a bit uncomfortable and the waiting area is hot, sunny and crowded.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Amazing show
Cons: None

This is my family's favorite show at WDW!!!


The costumes, music, and energy of the performers are great! The acrobatics are so much fun to watch. And it's fun for the kids if they are chosen to participate.


Instead of a re-telling of the story, it's a song-and-dance interpretation of the themes running through the movie.


A great show -- and on our "not-to-be-missed" list!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Multiple entertainment aspects of this show.
Cons: The wait for the show. It's very poplular

This is by far one of my favorite shows. It's great for adults. It's EXCELLENT for kids. It has multiple entertainment aspects all put together one one fabulous stage show. The entertainers have been first rate every time I've seen the show, and I've seen it probably 10 times. I'm going again in three weeks, and I'll be back at that show again. It would have got a 10 had I not been 10 times already.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): well paced, great music and singers, colorful
Cons: none

As others have said, this is a great show. Some of the things I love about this show - the monkeys on the the tumble track and trapeze, the stilt walkers, the colors, costumes, and most of all the singers. The quality of the singers was right up there with the best shows.


We have always been very lucky and not had to wait to get in. They seemed to be pretty well organized in how they feed people into the theater saving some easily accessible rows to be filled at the end so they can let people in as the show is starting as long as there are empty seats.


We attended this show with our 2 year old granddaughter and when the show was over she started to cry and didn't want to leave because she loved it so much.
