    A popular live show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is Festival of the Lion King, a virtual explosion of colors, music and amazing talent. The show has recently been modified due to the current environment with COVID-19. Onstage and backstage adjustments have been made to allow for physical distancing as well.
