This listing does not mean that the monkeys will soon return to the popular show. It could be for something else.

When ‘Festival of the Lion King’ returned last May, there were several changes. Even the name was changed, it’s now ‘A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King’. The Walt Disney World website states:
“A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King” will be presented in a modified format to be mindful of the current environment. Adjustments to the show have been made onstage and backstage, including updates to choreography and temporarily pausing some show elements to allow for appropriate physical distancing.
That implies that the modifications could be phased out at some point. If we hear anything definitive, we will let you know. Until then, we remain hopeful that the monkeys will soon return to this incredible show.
