Lion King 30th Anniversary Celebration Coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Celebrate the monumental 30th anniversary of “The Lion King” animated film in style at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, where the festivities will roar to life from June 10th through Sept. 6th.

It’s hard to believe it’s been three decades since Simba first graced the big screen, and yet the magic of this timeless story continues to captivate audiences of all ages. As someone who vividly remembers watching the film in theaters and dreaming of Lion King-themed decor, I share in the excitement of this milestone celebration.

The heart of the celebration lies in a specially curated merchandise collection, offering fans the opportunity to take home exclusive souvenirs that pay homage to the iconic Disney’s Animal Kingdom stage show, Festival of The Lion King.

From apparel to accessories, each item is infused with the spirit and energy of this beloved tale, allowing guests to relive the magic long after they leave the park. Don’t forget to snag the adorable Pumbaa popcorn bucket, a whimsical addition to any Lion King fan’s collection, and enjoy some tasty treats while you relish in the festivities.

But the celebration doesn’t stop there. As guests immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, they’ll encounter special menu items that tantalize the taste buds and evoke the flavors of the African savanna. And what better way to enjoy these treats than with an adorable Pumbaa popcorn bucket, a whimsical addition to any Lion King fan’s collection.

For those seeking a deeper connection to the film and its characters, Rafiki’s Planet Watch offers an interactive experience like no other. Meet Timon and Rafiki in person, and discover the joy of learning to draw beloved characters from “The Lion King” at the Animation Experience. It’s a chance to channel your inner artist while embracing the carefree “Hakuna Matata” philosophy that has resonated with audiences for generations.

As the park comes alive with the energy of “The Lion King,” guests are invited to relive cherished memories and create new ones in a place where fantasy and reality intertwine.
