Cirque du Soleil at Disney Springs, at Walt Disney World, is an awesome show to enjoy.  It's great for a date night or simply something fun to do outside the theme parks.

WHY CIRQUE DU SOLEIL IS SPECIAL…AND WHAT MAKES DRAWN TO LIFE UNIQUE

We've seen plenty of Cirque shows over the years and this is one of the BEST!  Drawn to Life is a phenomenal show of acrobatics and music, with a Disney-centric story line.

Cirque du Soleil is Incredibly Special for Multiple Reasons

Part of the uniqueness of Cirque du Soleil is the coming together of performers from many countries and the sheer talent of everyone who is a part of the performance. There are live musicians, singers, actors and acrobats performing.

Drawn to Life at Disney World is Extra-Special for Numerous Reasons

• It's the 50th show Cirque du Soleil has created. It is also all too appropriate to have opened during the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World! • 62 artists are in the cast from 15 different countries. • The Cirque du Soleil theater at Disney World is round, which helps to immerse guests in the performance.

THE STORY WOVEN THROUGH DRAWN TO LIFE

Drawn to Life tells the story of Julie, a little girl whose father died and left a story unfinished – an animated story.  Through Disney's animation, her story unfolds during this amazing Cirque du Soleil show.

THERE ARE 10 ACTS OF DRAWN TO LIFE AT DISNEY SPRINGS

Ten amazing acts complete the 90-minutes or so of the show. While a lot of the acts have a direct connection to specific animated Disney films or sketches, others are more generalized.

Favorites and Hanging Out at Disney Springs after the Show

Be sure to schedule some time to go to a Disney Springs restaurant or bar after the show to discuss your favorite acts from Cirque du Soleil! We continued our "Disney date" over drinks at nearby Jaleo that evening.

DO YOU NEED TO LOVE DISNEY TO APPRECIATE THE SHOW?

Being a huge Disney fan is not a requirement to appreciate the show.  As long as you appreciate live performances, amazing acrobatics, and incredible set design, you'll love it.

IF YOU LOVE DISNEY, YOU'LL APPRECIATE THE FUN REFERENCES TO HISTORIC DISNEY FIGURES AND MOMENTS

If you do love Disney, however, you won't be disappointed. I cannot remember a time I was so jazzed about classic Disney references and music since Mickey's PhilharMagic debuted at the Magic Kingdom.

PERFORMANCES AND TICKETS FOR CIRQUE DU SOLEIL AT DISNEY

Is there a PreShow during the Cirque du Soleil show at Disney Springs?

The pre-show before the show is inside the theater. Children are selected to draw pictures on stage, that are displayed on projections as a pre-show “finale” of sorts just before the show starts at 8:00 pm.
