Time: 30 minutes

Best for: All Ages

Height Requirement: N/A

Type: Show

Summary: Step into a round theater to watch a live show of the Lion King characters as they interact with the audience and perform certain scenes from the movie. You’ll hear amazing vocals, watch acrobats, and see some of the movie’s characters.

Our Opinion: We love watching this show and it has never disappointed. We do miss some of the acrobats that came in the previous version of this show. Still, we so enjoy seeing the performances here and of course the music!

Trivia: Many of the floats that enter the stage with some of the characters on board actually got shipped from Disneyland after the closing of the Lion King Celebration parade there. Take a look at the elephant, giraffe, and Pumba. Each of those came from the California park!

In addition, make sure to check out Simba’s float. Interesting fact about this one, you might never guess it but he actually stands 12 feet tall up there!
