I know this is not going to be a popular opinion but I have to be honest. I think this is the most overrated show in Walt Disney World and my least favorite. I truly don’t understand why people think this show is so great. I don’t hate it but personally it is not a must do for me. Personally I could skip it. Sorry that is my honest opinion. I know I am probably the only person on here who feels this way I just had to express myself

Pros:

It is a cute little show.

Cons:

I just don’t think it is a must see and don’t get what is so great about it

This is the BEST live stage show in all of WDW. If you have ever seen the Lion King, you will love this, and even if you haven't the cast does an amazing job at telling the story in a fun, immersive and interactive way. Makes me tear up at the end every time. Although it is not currently running I cannot wait for this show to return, it is truly the highlight of my DAK day. I went in October to Disney and my day at DAK just was not the same without watching this show.

Pros:

fantastic story telling with amazing cast members who can sing better than people on the radio

Cons:

possibly too loud for some audiences; also, not running right now

This show is incredible! I personally think this is better than a Broadway production. Performers are amazing, the lion king music is always fantastic and they get the crowd involved. I go see this multiple times during my Disney vacation

Pros:

Everything!

None

I hesitate to say anything is a must do because for various reasons I dislike a few very popular attractions however this is probably the only thing I would say is a must do this and Kilimanjaro are my favorite attractions in all of disneyworld. I have never known anyone to not like it. There can be a bit of a line I always use a Fastpass and have never had too long, you can be kinda packed in sometimes there is some fire that is really cool but I did ear it kinda startle a little kid before. Music and dancers are great love the costumes and acrobats the float things are awesome!

Pros:

music acrobats dancers people on stilts costumes air conditioning

Cons:

you will be sitting around other people can be kinda tight line can be long (get a Fastpass)

The best show in all of Disney World. The songs are great, the costumes are well done, and the performers are amazing. The energy is contagious and it's the most fun you'll have at a show in Disney World. The seating can get VERY crowded but it's totally a must-do.

Pros:

Great music from the movie. Great perfomers. High energy.

Cons:

Crowded, uncomfortable seating.
