    Default Lion King Show at Animal Kingdom - Inside or Outside?

    I know the Lion King show used to be outside. Is that still the case or is it in an inside theater now (i.e. air conditioned). Thanks.

    Festival of the Lion King is indoors. Always has been as far as I know.

    I could be wrong but I remember it being covered but outdoors. Haven't been in many years so my memory could be off

    Definitely always inside. Tarzan Rocks at AK was an outside (replaced by Nemo and enclosed at that point), albeit covered theater, and Beauty and the Beast is outside, but that's it.

    OK. Thanks. We are there when it is really hot so some indoor shows are always nice

    You're not wrong, at first it was covered, but had all sides open to the air.

    Yep. They enclosed it in the early 2000's. It was supposed to be a temporary show in a temporary land. The "Temporary" land lasted for almost two decades, and the show lives on in it's new and more appropriate location in Africa.

    Nope, from 1998 to Aug 2003 it was a covered stage but opened to the elements. It was enclosed and received AC when it got a refurb from Aug - Sep 2003.
