Based on past Disney UK releases I assume this to be the DVD plus the Simba Beanie in a special box (which is available for free from Amazon.co.uk without the box). I would say it's a bit late to just find out about a proper DVD set, but this is Disney UK we're talking about - they never announced or promoted their Treasure Island set at all.
Lion King DVD plus Free Simba

I don't think it's the one with the toy. It is £8 more expensive and Amazon.co.uk also lists another, more expensive version of The Lion King DVD. I did a search on some UK online store and almost all of them have the Gift Pack listed, but no info on the contents. I Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Are you guys getting any Theatrical Trailers or TV spots on your version?

Here's the (now unavailable) Lilo and Stitch gift set:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008RH8H/
This was priced £29.99, and as you can see it includes the same soft-toy Amazon were offering free (and a storybook).
same with Monsters, Inc. (and 101 Dalmatians 2 I think)
So I really do think this is what the UK Lion King gift set will be.
Of course the Treasure Planet set contained a PC game and the book, so you just cannot tell. Buena Vista Home Entertainment UK don't believe in publicity.

I totally forgot about those gift sets...
But the set must have something more than the toy Amazon is giving away for free.
Anyway, I think I'll settle for my local release. I'll also get it earlier.

OK, here's the UK Lion King DVD gift set:
And I actually thought it be the same as the US one. Stupid me...
