Whatever you do, don't miss The Lion King Celebration. The dramatic story of Simba and Nala unfolds as you watch the Rafiki float, the gazelle tree float, the bull elephant float, the rain forest float, the drum dancer float, and the Pride Rock float. There are inventive touches everywhere. The dancers' costumes are remarkable.
Stilt walkers represent elephants and giraffes, while the pole climbers suggest birds.
The parade makes four stops along it route, so pick your viewing spot carefully. The last performance was June 1, 1997. A new daytime parade, the Hercules Victory Tour, debuted June 27, 1997. Disneyland guests enthusiastically received the Hercules Victory Tour as a worthy successor to the fantastic Lion King Celebration. If you miss the floats from Disneyland's Lion King Celebration, you might want to head over to Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
