Characters fly through the air – even bar-to-bar – during our Festival of the Lion King shows at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And cast member Joey Hagerty is one of the performers who makes it look so easy. Joey is a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist and today he’s sharing how teamwork and gymnastic skills play key roles in putting on a successful Disney Parks show.

The combination of my two favorite things- Gymnastics and Disney! Always been a huge fan of Joey! Really hope I can make it to the Festival of the Lion King while Joey is preforming in it!

Festival of the Lion King is one of our favorite things in all of WDW. We watched it three times on our last trip. I love those Tumble Monkeys!

10 years, twice a day, three hours each session. Holy cow! Talk about dedication. How great to continue doing what you love at Disney World!
