You’ll be swept into an imaginative world at Drawn to Life in Disney Springs, where Cirque du Soleil’s acrobatics blend with Disney animation right before your eyes. From lively music and creative stunts to moments of laughter and nostalgia, this show feels both playful and heartfelt. With flexible ticket options and easy access for families, it’s an evening you’ll remember long after leaving the theater.
We were already laughing about the size of the popcorn buckets when we found our seats at Drawn to Life in Disney Springs. The stage looked like someone had spilled a giant sketchbook across it — pencils, paper, that kind of thing. Our guide, I think her name was Elise, just grinned and told us to keep an eye on the shadows. I didn’t really get what she meant until the lights went down and suddenly these acrobats started flipping through the air like they were sketches coming alive. It’s hard to explain — you hear kids gasping all around you, but even the adults (me included) kept leaning forward every time something new spun out from behind a prop.
I’d seen Cirque du Soleil before but never with this much Disney in it. There was this moment where a dancer traced a line in chalk and it sort of rippled across the whole stage — my niece squeezed my hand and whispered, “It’s like magic.” The music is big but not overwhelming; you can still hear people murmuring or giggling when something silly happens (there’s plenty of that). And honestly, I didn’t expect to feel so much nostalgia watching animated characters pop up in ways I hadn’t seen since Saturday mornings as a kid. The whole thing felt both familiar and totally new.
Afterwards we wandered outside into the sticky Florida evening, still talking about which act was our favorite. Someone nearby tried to pronounce “Cirque du Soleil” with a Southern drawl — made us laugh again. You can grab dinner before or after at one of those endless restaurants in Disney Springs (we went for tacos, no regrets). If you’re looking for something that works for families but doesn’t feel forced or too polished, this show hits that sweet spot. I still think about how the stage smelled faintly of sawdust and popcorn, which is weirdly comforting.
