Many Walt Disney World fan sites have been hinting at some rumors involving the construction of a brand-new theater for the extremely popular "Festival of the lion King" show at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Just recently, WDWMagic even confirmed that work should start very soon. And that is absolutely correct. In fact, one of our official Walt Disney World sources provided an exact date of the start of the work on this new theater.

Work is scheduled to take place in the Africa section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park beginning from Monday, March 11, 2013. The plot of land that was chosen for this project is located behind the Tusker House Restaurant and the DAWA Bar (CLICK HERE for a map of the area). You can rest assured that both the restaurant and the bar will continue to operate during this construction project, as no public areas should be affected. By the way, the check-in location for the Wild Africa Trek was also recently moved for this same reason.

Disney is finally taking the first concrete steps toward the start of the work for the new AVATAR Land project.
