Almost five months after The Festival of the Lion King departed from its home at Camp Minnie-Mickey to make way for Avatarland, the wildly popular show has returned in a brand new theater in Africa! The theater, named the Harambe Theater after the fictitious town guests visit while in Disney's Animal Kingdom, is nearly identical on the inside as the old theater. The exterior, however, is full of detail which makes it feel like this new addition to Africa has always been there!

How's the actual show? Overall, there isn't a whole lot different. We still have our favorite acts like the tumble monkeys and the fire dancer, but all the costumes look new and the four animals look amazing!
