‘The Lion King’ 30-Year Celebration Roars into Disney’s Animal Kingdom

June 11, 2024

We’ve kicked off our special celebration of the 30th anniversary of “The Lion King” at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. From now until Sept. 6, fans of the original animated film can enjoy character greetings, themed food and drinks, unique merchandise items and other special “only at Disney” surprises.

Here’s a quick look at some anniversary highlights guests have got to experience this summer.

 

 ‘Lion King’ Characters at Animal Kingdom

During “The Lion King” 30th anniversary celebration at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, guests can meet favorite characters Timon and Rafiki at Conservation Station at Rafiki's Planet Watch. Guests can take the train to Conservation Station by entering near the exit of Kilimanjaro Safaris in the park and the My Disney Experience app has details on when both characters are available this summer.

At Conservation Station, guests can also learn to draw other favorite characters from “The Lion King” at Animation Experience.

New ‘Lion King’ Anniversary Treats

There are new, limited time delights featuring characters from the film, including Simba, Rafiki, Timon and Zazu.

The big (and adorable) Simba Paw Cookie is a perfect summer treat and can be found at outdoor food carts throughout the park during the celebration.

Another themed must-try is the You Follow Old Rafiki Cheesecake! This dessert is a combination of passion fruit mango cheesecake with a coconut-lime crust, vanilla bean chantilly, and a chocolate medallion on top.

Rafiki’s Squash Banana shake with squash bananas, baobab fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, and cardamom is another must try this summer. Guests can find it at Tiffins Restaurant along with the Remember Who You Are “The Lion King” 30th Anniversary Dessert (above, right).

The Remember Who You Are at Tiffins Restaurant is Kenyan coffee mousse filled with caramelized bananas, chai chantilly, banana-caramel sauce, chocolate-coffee crumble, chocolate decoration, and a sugar sun.

The Simba at Eight Spoon Cafe is a mango-flavored slushy combined with grenadine and topped with two gummy candies. And Timon’s Luau is a unique dessert that pays homage to Timon’s iconic hula from the film.

Timon’s Luau - which can be found at Isle of Java in the park - features vanilla chiffon, passion fruit curd, guava jam, vanilla chantilly cream, and an edible tropical flower for the lei and mint for the hula skirt.

The Zazu Ice Cream Sandwich will likely be one of guests’ favorites all summer as well. Vanilla ice cream is sandwiched between two blue cake-coated sugar cookies with a chocolate medallion on top. Guests can find this treat at Tamu Tamu refreshments.

New ‘Lion King’ Merchandise Guests Will Want, ASAP

For the anniversary celebration, in addition to the Pumbaa popcorn bucket, there’s also a special merchandise collection. The new items and gear are perfect for a visit to our iconic “The Festival of the Lion King” show.

This special collection includes an amazing sweatshirt for adults with Simba silhouetted against the setting sun and “The Lion King” logo as well as a blue and white tie-dye youth zip hoodie. The colorful “Hakuna Matata” ear headband also celebrates 30 years.

Guests will also notice new items include a trendy fanny pack, a youth shirt and short set that features Simba, Nala, Pumbaa and Timon silhouetted on both and an adult yellow sweatshirt featuring favorite characters as well.

Guests can find these special items and more during the celebration at Island Mercantile in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

 “The Festival of the Lion King,” which is a larger-than-life show based on the classic movie, has even more magic during the anniversary celebration with MagicBand+ this summer.

Guests’ MagicBand+ will come to life with dancing lights and haptic vibrations during key moments throughout the show.
