Festival of the Lion King question.

[sleeping beauty 1]

On our last trip 7/6- 7/13/2005 the dancer did not "fly" around. My DD6 was so upset as that was her favorite part of the show. Was this just a glitch for this particular show we watched, or has the show been altered? There were some other differences we noticed, but this was the most significant.

I was hoping there was just a glitch that day and it wasn't completely removed.

Anyone else seen a show since or know information?

Thanks!

We saw the show about 3 weeks ago and she flew around. I think it was just a glitch when you were there.

Hope she flies for you next time.

Every time we've seen the FOTLK the "dancer" has flown around. I would think the time that didn't happen was an aboration (sp?).

we have seen it once when the bird didnt fly. I suspect that all the "flyers" are off sick or something.. its probably a specialist gymnast job!

Dont worry.. the birds are still there flying! Its my fave bit too!

we also were in WDW then and saw Festival without the flying bird.....we also saw it with the flying bird....that is, some of the shows had flyers, some didn't....
we inquired about it and they said they were short of women trained for the part and that new birds were in training to do the flying part...

we're in WDW now and there is defnitely a flying bird.....she was quite good....the fire eater was also new and he was excellent.....in fact, everyone was good, except for the singers, who were very low quality this time around........which was unfortunate, since we usually love the singing....

Thanks for all the responses! I was going to ask a CM but none were close and DS1 was asleep on me - yes somehow he slept through 80% of the show!

Yes it wasn't quite as good - without a "flyer". The 2 younger singers weren't as good - and maybe I noticed because there was nothing else to watch during the song.

I still love the show and glad to hear they haven't changed it! I hate it when they change my favs!
