Original 1998 Festival of the Lion King at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Head back to the late 90s and the early days of Animal Kingdom. This is the original version of the Festival of the Lion King and we have a front-row seat for this show.
Hope you enjoy!

I was a cast member in 1998 and the magic of this brand new park opening was absolutely indescribable. I can’t even imagine how many times I sat through this show back when it was new- and very hot in the open air theater. I can’t thank you enough for making sure these videos are accessible for everyone! Takes me back in an instant.

Memory: It's sometime in October of 1999. There is a ten-year-old here, in front of the stands. He's really anxious, but he does his best roar.

The opening year cast had so much energy, can still remember seeing that. Inflections during the songs were crazy good. Nice to see footage again! Thanks!
