In The Lion King movie, they sing “can you feel the love tonight?” Disney World guests certainly can with all of the fun treats, characters, and more commemorating the 30th Anniversary of this classic film.
Lion King 30th Anniversary
Amazingly, we’ve been enjoying The Lion King for 30 years! Besides being a classic movie, it’s also my (Susan’s) favorite Broadway show. The puppetry is always so impressive!
Have you found yourself singing “Hakuna Matata” or wearing it on a t-shirt? This is a classic feel-good song from The Lion King.
To celebrate this film, “The Lion King” animated film will feature fun throughout Disney’s Animal Kingdom from June 10 through September 6, 2024.
