Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration inspired the debut of several new shows, including KiteTails!
KiteTails has been working through some growing pains ever since the show took flight last October, including some funny fails (which was inevitable when centering a show around huge kites). More recently, the way you watch the show was changed, and we have some more information on how you can catch the show in its new format!
We already knew that the show was changed to provide more frequent showtimes with shorter performance times. The goal was for guests around Discovery River Lagoon to be able to experience the show throughout the location.
We spoke about the shift with a Cast Member today, who gave us some more details about the changes! We had witnessed that each show would only be a snippet of the original 10 minute performance — now know the shortened show is set to occur every 20 minutes. These brief showtimes take place between 9:10AM and 3:10PM, as reflected on the My Disney Experience App.
You can catch bits of The Lion King kites or The Jungle Book kites with popular songs like Circle of Life and I Want to Be Like You! However, you’ll notice the absence of the puppets and Cast Members that used to perform with the show.
So if you’re looking to take a break during your trip to Animal Kingdom, be sure to take in the brief snippets of Disney-themed kite-flying around Discovery River Lagoon! And we’ll provide you with any additional details about the show’s changes, as well as the latest Disney news, so stay tuned to AllEars!

We will miss the performers/dancers in the stands! That was one of my favorite parts.
