Drawn to Life by Cirque du Soleil & Disney
Has anyone seen this show recently? Wondering if worth the cost or we should just stick with the parks. Also, should we purchase more expensive tickets for better views? There were no bad seats at some Cirque shows I have seen at other locations.
TIA
“Drawn to Life” by Cirque du Soleil in collaboration with Disney is a unique theatrical experience that combines Disney storytelling with Cirque du Soleil’s signature acrobatics, visual effects, and music. It has been running at Disney Springs in Orlando and generally receives positive feedback from visitors, especially families who enjoy Disney themes and high-quality performance art.
Many attendees report that the show is visually stunning and emotionally engaging, with choreography, acrobatics, and projections that bring classic Disney animation to life in new ways. For families with kids or Disney enthusiasts, it offers a different kind of experience than the theme parks—more like an evening of performance art rather than rides and attractions.
- Performance quality: Cirque du Soleil is known for its high production standards, so the acrobatics and stage design are very impressive.
- Family appeal: Disney characters and stories make it accessible and enjoyable for children, while still entertaining adults.
- Duration: The show is around 60-70 minutes, making it a good evening activity without taking up an entire day.
Regarding ticket selection, the venue at Disney Springs has a relatively intimate theater, and most seats provide a good view of the stage. Premium seats may offer slightly better sightlines or proximity, but many reviewers mention that even standard seats allow you to see all the action without obstruction. If you want the absolute best view of detailed acrobatics or prefer to be closer to the performers, the more expensive tickets are worthwhile, but they are not essential for enjoying the show.
- Premium seating: Closer to the center and front; may enhance your experience for intricate stage details.
- Standard seating: Plenty of good views; still very enjoyable without paying extra.
- Budget-conscious option: Upper or side seats are still good due to the theater design and large-scale visuals.
In conclusion, if your group enjoys Disney and high-quality live performances, it is generally considered worth the cost, especially as a break from park crowds. It provides a memorable, artistic experience that complements a Disney vacation rather than replacing theme park attractions.
