Animal Kingdom

The newest event at the Animal Kingdom is Harambe Nights, a special-ticket, after-hour event that celebrates the tastes and flavours of Africa in the honour of the 20th anniversary of ‘The Lion King’. Each Saturday, from June 7 through August 9, guests who purchased the event ticket attended a fun street party and theatrical production.
The evening starts with African-inspired appetisers and drinks served in the Africa area of the park. Then you are treated to a 55-minute musical show called ‘The Lion King Concert in the Wild’. With the help of celebrity narrators and a live orchestra, the show details Simba’s coming of age. When the show concludes, the party moves back into the streets. A large variety of buffets allows guests to savour African-inspired dishes. The event starts at 7pm and tickets are limited. Cost is $119 for adults and $79 for ages 3-9.
