The Festival of the Lion King (as well as the rest of Camp Minnie Mickey), proved to be so successful that it eventually became one of the parks most popular attractions. Finally in 2003, the show's theater was enclosed, and air conditioning was added. Outside of changes to the show's theater, the Festival of the Lion King has not seen any major changes, although a new Timon costume that allowed the meerkat to move his mouth and blink his eyes was added to the show in 2009.
