The day has finally come when a popular Disney show is saying farewell.
Change is inevitable at the Disney Parks and Disneyland is no exception. Amid rumors of Disneyland expansion, the Anaheim-based park is about to close a popular experience for good. Thatโs right, โTale of the Lion Kingโ is ending after its final show on January 7th.
โTale of the Lion Kingโ was confirmed to end its run on January 7th, 2024 last year by Disney after nearly two years of production at the Fantasyland Theatre between Mickeyโs Toontown and โitโs a small worldโ.
The Disneyland show is/was a theater adaptation of Disneyโs The Lion King (1994) performed by โThe Storytellers of the Pride Lands.โ The show hasnโt always been in its current form, as it premiered in 2019 at the Palisades Stage over at Disney California Adventure. However, in 2022 it moved over to Disneyland and featured new scenes, costume designs, music, and choreography that was inspired by the African roots of The Lion King.
If you want to see this show on its final day, you can stop by the physical theatre in Fantasyland or check the Disneyland app for showtimes. As of now, no permanent replacement has been made public for the theatre (the space will temporarily be used for โCelebrate Gospelโ on February 17th and 24th, 2024). Weโll let you know when Disneyland announces future plans.
Weโre sad to see this show go but still excited to see what Disneyland brings us next! Weโll be sure to keep you in the loop regarding all things Disneyland so be sure to follow us right here at DFB for all the latest!
