Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly)

- Slight compromise: Some puppet details may be less visible compared to closer seats
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
⭐ Royal Circle Row P ($125) or Grand Circle Row H ($125)
- Royal Circle P: Optimal elevation - actors enter through this level during "Circle of Life"
- Grand Circle H: Centered view with excellent depth perception for parade scenes
- Both offer: Unobstructed views of the Pride Rock lift mechanism
Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)
🔝 Royal Circle Rows J-N ($141-$157)
