Showtimes released for ‘A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King’

This past weekend crowds returned to the Harambe Theater at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for the soft opening of A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King.

While the official reopening is set for May 15, official showtimes have been added to the Walt Disney World wesbite and the My Disney Experience app.

A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King is presented in a modified format. Adjustments to the show have been made onstage and backstage, including updates to choreography and temporarily pausing some show elements, to allow for appropriate physical distancing.

Most of the shows are taking place 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. If the park closes earlier the later shows will not take place. But check the times before going to the park.
