Amazing show, don't miss it even without kids. A lot better than Tarzan.

Like a Broadway production, but without the ticket prices!

This is a flat out wonderful show. Great music, great talent, very enjoyable. It's even better now that the building is fully under cover with AC!

Great show. Stops screaming toddlers from freaking out, and babies from getting anxious. This is the second time that we sat in the giraffe section. Who knew that giraffes sound amazingly like sheep. (baaa, baaa)

This is simply a Disney theatrical attraction at its best! This amazing broadway style show features life size Simba and Pumbaa puppets, acrobatic monkeys, and amazing broadway quality costumes. Join a Swahili tribe as they tell Simba's life story through 6 amazing songs, including Circle of Life, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, and even a full-length version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Visit www.tanabi.hothere.com for more information about The Lion King and its attraction.

This show is pure fun. One of the greatest shows ever put on in a WDW theme park.

Terrific show. Could use a few more fans under the big top though.

User ID: DISNEYFAN_je   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/20/2002)
This show and Fantasmic are the finest shows WDW has to offer. You must see this. It's very entertaining and a lot of fun. There is a lot of fine talent in this show. Those in the show are very gracious with the audience. Can't wait to see this again and again.

Hands down my favorite show at Walt Disney World. Here's a tip, go to the Animal Training show (at the Pocohantas stage) instead of waiting in line for Festival of the Lion King. Everyone who goes to the really fun animal training show automatically gets a saved seat in the lion section of FOTLK. Cast memembers usher you in through the exit and the seats are great!

Brilliant! Don't sit at the front if you do not want to run the risk of being a focused part of the show.

This is a great show, even better than The Little Mermaid.

A very good show w/ audience participation. Reminiscent of the Broadway Show in alot of ways. Great performers.

One of THE best shows at WDW, will give you goosebumps every time. Great use of familiar music in a different style of presentation.

I loved the show. I thought the singing was exceptional. The whole show is great. It is a definite must see.

I agree with LaffnStock that this inferior to the wonderful, but so much less-hyped,Hunchback show. The two times I've seen this the theater was so stiflingly hot it took away from my enjoyment.

Great Show

This is one of WDW's best stage shows!!! I must see when visiting the Animal Kingdom.

User ID: RPK4444   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/5/2000)
In my eyes probably one of the best things in the Animal Kingdom. A really nice show. Kids will love it.

Great show and it keeps the kids and adults in the party mood of the show.

A bit long (especially at the end) but the festive atmosphere and excellent cast make it more than worthwhile.

The tumble monkeys are the best part by far, although they look like flying chickens...

Great attraction for the entertainment value and for the fact that it's a good place to rest.

User ID: jbponzi   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/28/2000)
WOW!!!

User ID: LaffnStock   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/12/2000)
Not as great as all the hype. The often overlooked Hunchback show is better. The Cirque-du-Soleil wannabe parts are the best parts of this show. The big puppets are too cheesy.

User ID: Jeremiah   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (2/5/2000)
Over hyped, this is a ok show. The monkeys make the show and that is about it.

User ID: MBlampain   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/11/2000)

Incredible for a park show. (and I've seen the Broadway version) Great fun, audience participation and not to be missed.
