I have only taken my son to Disney on Ice (a little before age 2), but I have seen the Lion King myself. It's pretty engaging with all of the animals. They even walk down the aisle at the beginning. I think I would maybe take my 2yo. He last 40 minutes at Disney on Ice, but with an intermission, I think there is a chance he could do the whole Lion King.

D would definitely sit through it, and he's 2.5. He loves the Lion King movie and he insists that we listen to the soundtrack in the car. However, we're waiting at least another year because right now he's absolutely terrified of masked people/creatures. He'd be completely freaked out.

@Jumpingjacks: We're taking our LO to NYC in a month and I looked into seeing the Lion King but their website says they don't recommend it for children under 6. Mine's only 21 months so we decided against it.

When I was 4, a few actors from the musical Cats came to my school and scared the $*(@(*~# out of me. I vividly recall being only one of a few kids who ran out of there crying, so perhaps 4 is the age when most kids are ok with the masks!

Personally I wouldn't take my daughter until she is around 6 or 7, given how expensive the tickets are.

my 3yr old DD is absolutely obsessed with the lion king, we could watch it every day. still, I think she would freak out at the show, I remember they do come down the aisles at one point, and I don't think she will have ability to stay still in her seat.

Maybe 4, 5 would be better. If they watch and understand long movies then it might be ok. It is different than Sesame Street live or a kid geared show.
