After the coronavirus pandemic delayed the premier for nearly 20 months, the much-anticipated new Cirque du Soleil show at Orlando’s Disney Springs will finally open to guests on November 18th.
Drawn to Life is a collaboration between Cirque du Soleil, Walt Disney Animation and Walt Disney Imagineering and merges the world of animation and acrobatics in a 90-minute show featuring 10 acrobatic acts.

“Intermission is now over,” says Daniel Lamarre, president and CEO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, “and we cannot wait for Cirque and Disney fans to experience the joy of this love letter to the art of Walt Disney animation.”

Drawn to Life tells the story of “a determined girl who discovers one last gift left by her animator father: a sequence of unfinished drawings,” Cirque de Soleil reveals. “Guided by a magical pencil and a quirky troupe of imaginative muses, she embarks on an inspiring quest filled with her childhood Disney memories. We’ll follow her as she leaps into a whimsical world of animation and discovers new possibilities that animate the story of her future”
The groundbreaking show will be performed Tuesdays through Saturdays at the Disney Springs theater and children 2 and under can get in for free provided they sit on a parent’s lap.
