Disney’s “Tale of the Lion King” is an adaptation of the original Disney movie, The Lion King, and has been entertaining Disneyland guests with stories, music, and dance since its premiere in 2019. Back in 2019, it was available throughout the summer and was scheduled to end its run in September. It returned in May 2022.

In the meantime, if you want to catch the show before it closes, head over to the Fantasyland Theatre in Disneyland Park. There are typically several showtimes each day — check the Disneyland app for the most up-to-date information on your visit.
