They post showtimes, but I don’t see anywhere that they specify which times correspond to the LK version and which correspond to JB
The boards on the parks and the daily guide maps specify which show. I don't think they want to announce it to far out in case a kite has an "accident".

Ah good to know thanks. Is there a schedule they generally follow or does it vary from day to day?
Every hour from 11:15 to 5:15 except no show at 2:15.

Typically it’s every other show, unless there are issues with certain props and they can do multiple of the same version in a row.

Every other show starting with Jungle Book (prone to change based on Kite availability).

Hopefully they’ll be relocated to other entertainment acts and not let go.

I’m glad I saw the full versions of both shows a few months ago. I very much enjoyed them. And I specifically remember thinking how much the CMs in front of the crowds with the smaller handheld kites must love their jobs. They were so into their roles and were happily singing along to the soundtrack. They were really fun to watch.

Wonder how this will play out for the more ground involved segments (like Elephant Parade).
On one hand, this is probably what this show always should have been. On the other hand, it’s something of a shame to see this cut down and for some of the ground puppets/kites to go to waste. Would love to see the Turtles or Elephants reused on Discovery Island.

Cutbacks to make it cheaper done by Cheapek of course. Sometimes I think they sit around laughing and saying, "These people are suckers. They'll never notice the difference."

I never thought Kite Tails would be lasting! Did not think it would last...it was lack luster compared to Disneylands 50th (Disneyland always gets BETTER decor, entertainment, etc)

Sounds like what the show should have always been. Kite moments enjoyed from anywhere in the lagoon, not a seated theatre experience.

And it wasn't so much a structured show...Disney said it would be like, "Hey they're flying kites over here let's go watch and take a break!" kinda thing! they builtthe theatre for a reason, they need to bring back Rivers of Light or something similar, they are making the money so put it to guests experience instead of paying those highly overly paid executives

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Scrap it. Get something good in there. Terrible use of that space.

Is this remaining the same until next month, or are the shutting it down for the time being and relaunching next month?
I really enjoyed this on my trip in January. Hoping my son can see it in a couple weeks when we're there.
