==Show Plot==
The Festival of the Lion King begins with the shows' four hosts singing "Welcome to Our World". The four hosts are Kiume (meaning "masculine and strong" in Swahili), Nakawa (meaning "good-looking"), Kibibi (meaning "princess"), and Zawadi (meaning "the gift"). After the hosts introduce themselves, they tell the audience that Simba and his guests will be there any minute, but first they need the audiences' help. In order to greet Simba and his friends, the hosts decide to divide the audience into four groups, who will greet the animals by making animal noises. The first sound guests make is that of a warthog. To do this, one guest is chosen to lead the audience as they make tusks with their fingers and make a snorting noise. Next up is the lions. Another guest is chosen to imitate a lion by putting their paws up and roaring. After the lions are done, it's time for the elephants. The section that is assigned elephants put their hands up and trumpet like an elephant. Finally the last group who are the giraffes, make a noise that sounds like a sheep.

After everyone knows their roles, they all make their animal noises together. At this point, the lights in the room dim and everyone is told to listen. As wind begins to howl, various animals begin to dance on stage. After their ceremony, the Circle of Life begins to play. Simba, then addresses guests, telling them that it is time for the big celebration. At the beginning of the celebration, the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King" plays, as a parade begins. Timon, Pumbaa, the Tumble Monkeys, various animals, and other dancers then parade through the stage on floats. Finally, Simba appears atop a rock, watching over the proceedings.
