Festival of the Lion King??

[pumpkinjl]

I know the move is set for 2014, but does anyone have a guess on when exactly? We are going to DW the first week in March, but I am afraid that the Festival of the Lion King will be in the process of moving and will be closed and the Festival of Fantasy Parade (Magic Kingdom) will not be up and running. Maybe we need to change our dates????

Yeah I would like to know this as well.

OK, here is the latest we have heard from show current CM's . . .
1) The change-over is due during the 2nd quarter of 2014.
2) The actors have been told there is a 1-month furlow between the move.


NOTE: Here is something we heard while drinking with some of the Tumble
Monkeys while at Miller's Ale House (a favorite CM hangout). One the CM's
said the new stage looks smaller than the current theater. He also said that
they were told the "taller" parts of the show, like the big floats, are being
either eliminated or downsized. He said he hopes not, but this was part of
of another discussion at the current theater.
TAKE THIS ONLY AS A RUMOR AT THIS TIME.

Do you know if that is 2nd fiscal quarter (Jan-Mar) or calendar? Based on the plans for the new area which are in the permits in public records the building appears to have the same footprint as the current one, but the plans don't show anything about heights.

1) Sorry, all I know is what I heard from Monkies over brewskies.
2) Once again, until we hear more, TAKE THIS AS AN "INFORMED" RUMOR.
3) In other words, not a bus driver rumor.
