Do you remember...Legend of the Lion King

[MKJo]

Going to start a new series of posts looking back at old attractions (idea unashamedly stolen from the Disney Parks Blog )

We'll start with the Legend of the Lion King show that used to be in Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland.



It debuted on July 8, 1994 in the space that's now occupied by Mickey's Philharmagic.

Anyone remember this show? Did you like it, hate it, still miss it?

This was there in our very first year of visiting but we never went to see it! I thought we'd have chance to go again and when we returned it'd gone! Was it like the show in DLRP?

I remember it. I always enjoyed it, but I like Philharmagic better :)

Never saw it. Our kids never liked the 'shows'...wanted to do rides.

Yes, it was one of my favorites but I too like Philharmagic better .

I always enjoyed the show, especially if it was really hot out. The Lion King show at Animal Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World Orlando is MUCH better though, as is Philharmagic.

I don't think you saw any humans in this one, it was kind of like puppets and people in big character costumes on a relatively small stage area. A bit like the stage set up in Voyage of the Little Mermaid, but without humans, from what I remember.

I remember the show being there, but we didn't see it. What was in it's place before it was there? Seems like when we went I was sad to see whatever was there prior, gone.

I prefer Mickey's Phillharmagic . That's my favorite "ride" at the MK!
