REOLOCATION: FoTLK

[TheRustyScupper]

1) Rumor, no longer.
2) Festival of The Lion King is moving.
3) Fences and walls are erected at-and-behind Tusker House.
4) Months ago I mentioned the move to Africa, and now it starts.

nope im pretty sure its wide open until then

Given the show's popularity as well as how few big-draw attractions there are in general at AK, I don't see them closing for more than a day or two just before the new location opens.

The plans for the new theater location showed on the Florida Water Management District permit site a couple months ago, but the OP's post confirms that work has actually started.

That must be the sound of shovels I hear in the background-- I believe someone was waiting for them...

 

[dcibrando]

let's just hope this means expanding DAK (but not with crapatarland)

Yeah...always a good thing.

We are talking about a 15 year old show that was meant as a temporary "place marker" for....well...for
Something.

And now it's being rebuilt (at twice the cost...to be reflected in the ticket price) where it should have been.

So I keep trying to light my pants on fire with this one...but they must be flame retardant...cause it's not working

1) There has not been an official time frame - in meetings or in print.
2) They haven't said if there was a no-show period between locations.
. . . we assume there has to be some MINIMUM downtime
. . . they have to move the sets, instead of duplicating them
3) When we hear a schedule, we will say something.
