New Ways to Protect the Pride: One way you can help protect the pride is to visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida during opening week of “The Lion King” (July 19 -2 5, 2019) and ride Kilimanjaro Safaris.

For every guest who rides the attraction that week, Disney Conversation Fund will donate $2 (up to $350,000) to the Wildlife Conservation Network in support of the Lion Recovery Fund.

In addition, fans may participate by purchasing special-edition products as part of The Lion King “Protect the Pride” campaign.

The Lion King “Protect the Pride” campaign continues Disney’s longstanding commitment to the conservation of wildlife around the world and represents the largest single gift (up to $3 million) Disney has made to help reverse the decline of a species. Since 1995, the Disney Conservation Fund has directed more than $75 million to save wildlife and protect the planet.

The Piano Guys Visit Pandora: Known for their musical performances at iconic locations around the world, The Piano Guys recently traveled to Pandora – The World of Avatar at Walt Disney World Resort to perform one of the most recognizable songs from the movie Avatar, “Jake’s First Flight.”  The majestic floating mountains and nighttime bioluminescence were the perfect background for this inspirational song featuring pianist Jon Schmidt and cellist Steven Sharp Nelson.
