The centerpiece of The Lion King anniversary celebration is the all-new Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party on Discovery Island, which kicks off January 18, 2019 and runs through September 30, 2019.
The Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party is “a raucous celebration” starring Timon and Pumba, where kids of all ages can enjoy dances and games inspired by The Lion King while musicians perform World Beat-style music.
