food IS a theme park
It’s been a rainy week in Disney World, but that’s not the most surprising news from the week.
Hey there, Chip ‘n’ Dale!
Disney has shared big updates, small updates, and even an opening date for a highly anticipated new ride! Find out all the news here!
Get ready for more CHANGES!
Harambe Theater
All over Disney World, things have been changing over the past few weeks. We’ve seen hotels reopen, restaurants get new menu items, and more. And more change is on the way. We already shared how the tumble monkeys will be coming back to Disney World’s show in Animal Kingdom and now we’ve got even MORE news!
Buckle up, folks. Disney decided to choose this week to keep surprising us! OVER AND OVER.
Magic Kingdom
Pretty much every day this week had at least one surprise. From ride testing to restaurant news to a permanent dinner show closure, we’re feeling the unexpected vibe this week. So come along as we recap everything you might not know!
Do you love Festival of the Lion King in Disney’s Animal Kingdom?
Festival of the Lion King
You certainly aren’t alone! The fan-favorite show returned to Disney World in May of 2021 and has had an interesting journey since then. The show returned under a new title called A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King and a few things were missing like the iconic birds flying in the air and the tumble monkeys (which are set to return soon!). Showtimes for this fan-favorite attraction have been fluctuating recently, but several shows were canceled today.
We’ve got a major piece of advice for anyone planning a trip to Disney World, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned Disney parks veteran.
Tree of Life
Our advice is to keep an eye on Disney World’s calendars — not just for park hours, but also for entertainment options that have scheduled showtimes because those showtimes can change. Case in point — one popular show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is switching up its schedule SOON.
Lion King fans, get ready. We’ve got some MAJOR news for you!
Harambe Theater
When Disney World’s “Festival of the Lion King” show reopened with the parks in 2020, it had some pretty major changes. For one thing, it was re-named “A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King.” And more importantly, a couple of big acts were missing from the show completely! Now, we just got word that one of our FAVORITE parts of this show is returning soon! [Read more…]
No matter how much you plan for your Disney World vacation, things can still go wrong that you have no control over.
Rain in Disney World
The weather can shut down rides, the crowds can be bonkers, or the snack you’ve been wanting to try for weeks isn’t available any more. That’s when you just gotta deal with the cards you’re dealt and readjust! Because even Disney has technical difficulties from time to time, which is what shut down one show in the parks today.
“Hakuna Matata…what a wonderful phrase! Hakuna Matata, ain’t no passing craze…”
RAWR
Now that we’ve got you humming along to a song that’ll inevitably be stuck in your head for the rest of the day (sorry about that), we’ve got some big news! We were very excited when the revamped Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King returned to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but we recently noticed that showtimes for the popular show had been reduced. But now things have changed! Here’s what you need to know if you’re looking to catch this popular show.
Take a breath. Imagine for a second that the computer, phone, etc. in front of you has disappeared. You find yourself on Main Street, U.S.A.. Around you, you can hear the sound of guests talking and laughing. In the distance, you hear some of the background music for this beautiful spot. And then it hits you — the distinct and gorgeous voices of the Dapper Dans reach your ears and your heart and your soul are filled with joy. LIVE MUSIC folks. Sometimes there’s just nothing better than live music.
The Dapper Dans — Seriously, the BEST
Although Disney World has ALL kinds of entertainment to enjoy at the resorts, in the parks, and at Disney Springs, sometimes all you really want is to just listen to some great live music. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, a night out, want to hit the town in Disney style, or are just a lover of music and want to fill your day with those glorious sounds, we’ve put together a list of EVERYWHERE you can see live music at Disney World. So let’s get ready to jam out! 🎵
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is an amazing park with tons of detail in each land and some of the best theming in Disney World.
