As someone on the opening team for this theater who has seen this show far too many times to count, I'm so torn between feeling sadness for what has changed and an incredible amount of gratitude that these dear dear performers, technicians, and ops cast members are able to come back to work. I'm so glad this place I love so much is open again, and I look forward to the show being able to return to its former glory!
What an incredible way to bring back the spirit of this beloved show. It is clear that many, many people have worked hard to respect Festival while also adhering to strict restrictions. Well done all! I'm glad you have returned!
Great job, I truly appreciated the great video graphy. A job well done ! 🤗 It made me smile and cry, Just to be able to see it again. I pray that in the near future it will be able to return again to the same production value as it was originally. Grateful to see it up and running, But not a fan😕 of the diminished diluted, modified version. And a special shout out to the highly talented cast members. It is truly a joy to see you back on stage and performing Again and delivering a home run with every performance.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗💌
You do realize this is because of covid restrictions right, And also an attempt to bring large theatrical performances back to the park. Monkeys and birds cant do their routine without touching each other or coming within 3 to 6 feet of each other. It's not the "new" version of the show. It's the, "here's what we can do right now," version. Or nothing at all.

Great job! Thanks for doing this!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I miss the Tumble Monkeys and some of the other pranks and fun but it's still beautiful to see it back!
Festival of the Lion King is my favorite show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park!!!
Mine too.
Great show even with missing the tumble monkeys and the aerial act. The aerial couple at least got to dance.

Love it but it’s definitely a different version, no monkeys on the trampoline or the aerial acts....
I think the best versions in order:
1. WDW 2014
2. HKDL 2005 (different storyline to the WDW versions)
3. WDW 2021
4. WDW 1999
❤️
Omg no monkeys gutted dont think i will bother to see it till they are back
😍❤🙏🏻
I miss the acrobatics.
It’s not the same?
I love this show but they’ve changed so much at the beginning it doesn’t have the same feeling of awe. I personally think they’ve ruined it
