Interviews on the Green Carpet – The Lion King 3D Premiere
It was a Saturday morning – hot as the sun on the Savannah. Animal Kingdom hot. It set the mood, as Disney’s El Capitan Theatre, in Hollywood, was transformed into the Serengeti for the premiere of The Lion King 3D.

At the 2009 D23 Expo, Disney first announced the re-imagineering of Star Tours and an expansion of Walt Disney World’s Fantasyland. Therefore, expectations were high for the announcement of what’s to come for the Disney…
