Here's the answer to my question. Sorry for the belated answer (long meetings today):

AK - 500+ acres
EPCOT - 300 acres
Studios-154 acres
MK - 125 acres

Mickey_Maniac wins the AAQ!

 

[Mickey_Maniac]

OK, Since we just returned from seeing opening night of The Lion King stage performance at the Providence Performing Arts Center (which was fabulous, by the way), I'll throw out a LK related question.

Name the first Lion King show to be performed at WDW and for a bonus AAQ, name where it was first performed and where it moved to.

If any of you RI Dis'ers get a chance to see it while it's at the PPAC, make sure you do. If you are going to take younger kids however, you should try to do a weekend matinee. My 8yr old DD was a bt tired by the end.

 

[ryley26]

princess mindy gets the last one the lion king show at m.k it was a puppet show they move it to japan maybe

 

[Mickey_Maniac]

Nope. Here's a hint. When it moved, it stayed within WDW.

 

[Horizons16]

Festival of the Lion King

 

[Mickey_Maniac]

Nope again. FoTLK is the one that is currently playing at AK. OK, heres another hint. ryley is correct in that it was a puppet show. What was the name? Where was it shown?

 

[LiteBrite]

The name was Legend of the Lion King, and is was shown in Fantasyland in the spot that now houses Philharmagic, but I have no idea where it moved after that.

 

[Mickey_Maniac]

A roaring AAQ goes to LiteBrite.

A little piece of LK trivia here. When The Legend of the Lion King was first started, it was being shown in a theater very close to where Voyage of the Little Mermaid is now in the Studios. As a matter of fact,it may have been the same theater. I remember walking right up to the Animation Tour entrance and taking a left. We walked down past where the rest rooms are and there was a set of double doors where we went in. I believe those doors are the same that are used to exit the VotLM show. It was quite a while ago. DW and I were on our honeymoon in '91 and first saw LotLK there. The next year, it was moved to where Phillharmagic is now.

Probably more than you wanted to know, but I'm curious if any other Dis'ers remember seeing it there...

 

[LiteBrite]

That is really interesting - I had no idea LotLK had started in MGM.

So, here's a new question also involving a theater show:
What was the name of the original attraction in the spot where Soarin now resides, and what was the name of the Vaudeville-style duo featured in one scene of that attraction?

 

[Mickey_Maniac]

The show was originally called Kitchen Kabaret (later known as Food rocks). No clue on the duo though...

 

[LiteBrite]

Yup, Mickey Maniac, that's the name of the show. Anybody want to take a stab at the duo?
