Is Festival of the Lion King CLOSING in Jan. 2013?

But I love the music & the pageantry of FotLK & I love that movie so when we experience this attraction it's another piece of the WDW magic to me!

I still cry when I see it.

Goosebumps every time--I sure hope they keep it! One of my favorites!!!

We heard from a CM in July that FotLK will be moving to a location somewhere behind Tusker House, and they are planning to enlarge and partially enclose Dawa Bar to handle the increase in traffic that will result.

However, as with all things Disney, nothing is official until it is announced (and then is still subject to change).

So far that is the last plan I had heard as well... And a new trail from Discovery Island would be built to lead down to it... I think there will be two trails..

That's an interesting layout... That would mean another bridge across he river. I'm trying to get a layout imagined in my end, but I can't. The Dawa Bar area is already pretty congested, even worse up near Tusker House. I guess we just wait and see...

Crossing my fingers & toes as tightly as I can... it's my very favorite show bar NONE at Disney, I'd be devastated if it closed. Hoping against all hope that it is moved and given a bigger, better venue so they can even expand the show a bit!
