Fan-Favorite Disney World Show Cancels Performances AGAIN Due to Technical Difficulties

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. 

That’s right, Festival of the Lion King has canceled showtimes for the rest of the day.

A Cast Member at the show told us that this was “due to technical difficulties.This happened about a week ago where the show unexpectedly had its last performance at 1PM. There are typically 8 shows per day, however in April the showtime schedule will change just slightly.

The Cast Members did not go into detail about how long Festival of the Lion King would be affected by these technical difficulties, but the regular showtime schedule is still listed on the Disney World website for tomorrow. We’ll be sure to let you know if the schedule changes tomorrow.

We will continue to keep an eye out for updates at Festival of the Lion King! If this is an absolute must-do for you, we’ve noticed that the afternoon performances are canceled when technical difficulties occur, so consider seeing this in the morning!
