There’s also new daytime entertainment stirring at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Check out this artist rendering of “Disney KiteTails,” which will come alive several times daily at the Discovery River Amphitheater beginning Oct. 1. Performers will fly windcatchers and kites of all shapes and sizes, while out on the water elaborate three-dimensional kites – some stretching to 30 feet long – will depict Disney animal friends, including Simba, Zazu, Baloo and King Louie. These colorful creations will dance through the sky to the beat of favorite Disney songs in an uplifting, vibrant experience for the whole family.

 

This is not the only new offering coming to Walt Disney World for the Resort’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. Disney also announced that a brand new nighttime spectacular will debut at Magic Kingdom.

In addition to all of that wonderful news, Disney fans also got a set debut day for the highly anticipated HarmonioUS at EPCOT. HarmonioUS will debut on EPCOT’s World Showcase Lagoon on October 1. You can read more details about this exciting new show here.
