“Be Prepared!”

During our family trip to Walt Disney World in November of last year, we made it a priority to take in a late night viewing of the Festival of the Lion King show in Camp Minnie-Mickey at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.  It was a priority because it would turn out to be the last time seeing the show in the current theater in Camp Minnie-Mickey as that area is set to be demolished in order to make room for the upcoming Avatar land of Pandora.  In fact the last show in Camp Minnie-Mickey was on 1/5/2014.

This scene, based on the song Be Prepared from the Lion King movie, features the live-action performer Kiume singing Be Prepared as a fire juggler performs on the stage.  It is a challenging scene to try to get photos of, due to the dark ambient light, fast moving action, and bright highlights coming from the flaming baton.
