“Tale of the Lion King” Debuts May 28 at Disneyland Park
Beginning May 28, 2022, Disneyland Park will welcome “Tale of the Lion King” to its new home at the Fantasyland Theatre where this original, story-theatre adaptation of Disney’s “The Lion King” will be staged in an all-new presentation (as depicted in this artist rendering). At the heart of the production is a traveling troupe known as The Storytellers of the Pride Lands who weave the tale of how a cub becomes a king through dialogue, song, dance and percussion. From the scenic and costume designs to the new original musical arrangements and choreography, every aspect of “Tale of the Lion King” honors and is inspired by the cultural roots of this timeless story.
Also on May 28, Troubadour Tavern will return with new menu items inspired by the show.

“The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure” Exhibit and More Coming to the Downtown Disney District
We’re thrilled to share that “The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure,” a touring exhibit that illustrates the legacy and dynamic history of jazz, will be heading to the Downtown Disney District from June 1 to July 4!
In the “Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure,” Joe Gardner – musician, mentor, and star of Disney and Pixar’s original animated film, “Soul” – takes guests on a musical tour across America, showcasing the rich history of jazz along the way.
As a tribute to a musical art form that was originated by African Americans, the exhibit illustrates the many different cultures and creators who influenced this evolving genre. Walt Disney Imagineering partnered with cultural institutions and subject matter experts to bring this story to life.
We are delighted to bring “The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure” out here to the west coast! Complimentary to all resort Guests, the exhibit will be located in the building adjacent to Star Wars Trading Post.
And while visiting the Downtown Disney District this June, Guests will be able to keep the summer vibes going with live nightly music that is sure to stir the soul, with genres including jazz, R&B, funk, Motown and Doo-Wop. There will also be a DJ performing at the Downtown Disney LIVE! stage on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, playing a variety of upbeat genres.
There will be even more ways to feed every part of the soul as we continue to “celebrate soulfully” this summer at the Disneyland Resort – making it a great time to visit!
