Festival of the Lion King CLOSING for Short Time in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Disney World is changing, people!

Tree of Life

From huge changes like new attractions and even new Resort hotel villas to the smaller changes, like a menu update here and a schedule change there — there’s no shortage of updates around Disney World. We already shared that the tumble monkeys from Disney’s A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King would be returning this summer, and now it looks like we know exactly when!

Heads up, Disney fans! If you’re heading to Animal Kingdom this July, you might be saddened to know that A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King will be unavailable for quite a few days at the beginning of the month.

A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King

From July 5th to July 15th, 2022, A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King will be unavailable with no performances throughout the day so that Disney can prepare for the full show, Festival of the Lion King, to return.

Not only that, but thanks to Landon McReynolds from News 6 we now know that the full Festival of the Lion King show will be returning with tumble monkeys, birds, and all on July 16th, 2022!
