A brand new hard ticket event is being introduced to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Called Harambe Nights, this party will take place on Saturday nights from June 7 through August 9 in the Harambe Village section of the park.

During this event, guests will be able to take in theatrical entertainment, culinary delights, and help to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of The Lion King. (It’s been 20 YEARS?!)

The celebration will kick off at 7:00 p.m. with a welcome reception. Then guests will move to a new Harambe Theater, where they will be able to enjoy a private performance of the new show, The Lion King: Concert in the Wild. What makes this performance even more special is that celebrity narrators will be on hand, in addition to a live orchestra. During the show, guests will see the iconic scenes from the film, theatrically recreated for a never before seen take on The Lion King tale.

Celebrity narrators will include (Do keep in mind that celebrity narrators are subject to change.):

June 7: Viola Davis
June 21: Montego Glover
June 28: David Alan Grier
July 5: Michael Beach
July 12: Harry Lennix
July 19: Joe Morton
July 26: Alfre Woodard
August 2: Brian Stokes Mitchell
August 9: Patina Miller

After the show, guests will then be able to head to the streets of Harambe, where they will be able to purchase exclusive merchandise, meet Disney characters, and participate in artist signings. In addition, a band will be on hand to get the party rocking. Since this is an all-inclusive party, unique dining opportunities are available, including African beers and wines.

The evening will conclude with a fond farewell.

Tickets can be purchased for $119 for adults and $79 for kids, ages 3-9. If you would prefer, you can choose to purchase Premium Admission, which provides guests with premium seating for the show. The cost of the Premium Admission tickets are $134 for adults and $94 for kids, ages 3-9.

Another nice perk is that parking will be included beginning at 4:00 p.m. for those participating in the event.

To purchase tickets, visit Disney’s website or call (407) 939-1319.

Harambe Nights seems like another fascinating new option being rolled out for exciting summer fun at Walt Disney World.
