News Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2019

[ToTBellHop]

Coming soon, the Spaceship Earth, Rock'in with the Phoenicians Dance Party.

Where do you get your news? The site that must not be named, I imagine. It’s the Thank the Phoenicians M&G taking over the post-show.

Starting to think they are seriously running out of ideas.

 

[Sonconato]

Are they getting rid of the Viva Gaia Street Band?

 

[King Racoon 77]

This would be impossible, because the Phoenicians have been gone since around 300 BC. However, they did invent our ABC's, so they will always be worthy of our everlasting gratitude.

How do these dance parties even pay for their development and operation? Any time I'm near one, I see half a dozen guests sort of forcing, or aggressively encouraging, their children to dance with more than a dozen cast members trying so hard to appear to be having fun dancing with them. In the age of WDW Accounting, I can't see how these work well.

All you need is a DJ and some rubberheads. No scripts, no equity actors, just throw characters in people's faces.

this, not to mention cheap and lazy.

It is ironic to call this “No Worries” time when MDE ensures that guests are continually worried about the time.

Just checking, yes we are bashing all of Disney's announcements.

Because Cancelling the Discovery Island Carnivale dance party needs room for ANOTHER Dance Party....

with all due respect, i do believe replacing a dance party with one that's more synergistically aligned with the goals of walt disney parks, resorts and consumer products makes perfect sense

another dance party, tho?
i tend to be more lenient towards such at dak, as i think that kind of streetmosphere can be a wonderful compliment, and not nearly as trite as some conceived for the hub, tland, and the AMERICA GARDENS THEATER ... sorry

provided it doesn't go off the rails, but that's not the plan as those are normally relegated to c&h

I would love for Harambe Nights to come back for the 25th. The 20th anniversary with Harambe Nights was incredible.

 

[surfsupdon]

I’d like a parade instead.

 

[Hakunamatata]

I cant wait for the royalties to start flowing in.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

I cant wait for the royalties to start flowing in.

Do you want to be paid in cash or churros?

 

[MisterPenguin]

When is the Voices of America Dance Party? Wanna get my freak on to Oh Shenandoah.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Sigh... It’s as if the imagination has been sucked out of the swamps and replaced by dance parties and cupcakes.

 

[Hakunamatata]

Do you want to be paid in cash or churros?

I will take the first million in cash, then churros.....each week.

Coming soon, the Spaceship Earth, Rock'in with the Phoenicians Dance Party.

With "ABC" by the Jackson 5 played on a constant loop.

 

[Bocabear]

Dance Parties? So lame. At least there is not an upcharge for it....yet

 

[Hakunamatata]

With "ABC" by the Jackson 5 played on a constant loop.

Prolly not. Too many people dont know their ABCs so it will offend someones poodle so they wont play it out of fear of being sued.

When did Timon ever meet Rafiki?

They literally meet in the Lion King right after Simba leaves the jungle for the Pride Lands.

Rafiki: Ho, ho, ho, ho. You won't find him here. Ha ha. The king... has returned.
Nala: {Quietly} I can't believe it. {louder, amazed} He's gone back.
Timon: Gone back? What do you mean. {Looks where Rafiki was; Rafiki is now gone} Hey! What's goin' on here? Who's the monkey?
Nala: Simba's gone to challenge Scar.
Timon: Who?
Nala: Scar.
Pumbaa: Who's got a scar?
Nala: {Shaking head} No, no, no. It's his uncle.
Timon: The monkey's his uncle?
Nala: No! Simba's gone back to challenge his uncle to take his place as king.
Timon and Pumbaa: Ohhh.
