Disney KiteTails and Other Tales at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Part of the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World was the premiere of Disney KiteTails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We look at this surprisingly cute little offering, which includes two shows, one based on Disney’s The Lion King and the other based on Disney’s The Jungle Book. We also share other happenings going on throughout the park to include 50th anniversary offerings and more.

Photos and video are shown below but our podcast carries narrative of the entire experience. You can find the podcast here on Podbean, iTunes, Spotify,  and ListenNotes.

These are from The Jungle Book.

Finding Nemo is part of the pre-show.

Of all the statues for the 50th, I think this may be the fairest of them all.
