Wake up to the Lion King in a Florida hotel

A Florida hotel has become the year’s hottest address for spring breakers for one single feature blasting a Lion King anthem throughout the property as its mid-morning wake-up call.

At 11 am, when it’s deemed socially acceptable to rouse sleepy, often hungover revellers from their beer-soaked comas, the Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach plays the Circle of Life on their loudspeakers, a kind of clarion call that draws guests to their balconies for a rousing singalong.
