New Acts Coming to Cirque Du Soleil’s ‘Drawn to Life’ at Disney Springs

Cirque du Soleil has announced that new additions are coming to its Drawn to Life show in Disney Springs!

The additions include an all-new acrobatic act, aerial artists, and a “flying” guitarist with details as follows:

  • A brand new act, Icarian Games, paying tribute to Disney’s animated forests – and the mysterious creatures that inhabit them – featuring a pair of Ethiopian artists performing acrobatic feats in which one lies on their back and uses their legs and feet to toss the other performer in the air
  • Aerial Hoop artists taking to the air, performing tricks during the “Dream of Colors” act, a tribute to the ink and paint animation artists, featuring dramatic colors “painted” by human trapeze artists on a suspended wheel
  • A “flying” guitarist joining the Rhythmic Gymnastics act, soaring above the acrobats as they flip through the air

In addition, new musical compositions set a magnificent tone for the acts.

With the show updates, Florida residents can now enjoy a special ticket offer, providing the perfect opportunity for new and returning guests to experience the show.

The special offer allows Florida residents to purchase tickets up to 15% off on select seating categories. The limited-time offer runs through March 12, 2023, and is valid for performances through May 7, 2023. Tickets can be purchased from Cirque du Soleil at www.cirquedusoleil.com/drawn-to-life or at the Disney Springs box office.

VIDEO: Prohibited Drone Flies Over Disneyland, Crashes

TikTok user Donovan Sanford shared a video of a drone hovering in Frontierland at Disneyland park yesterday.

Sanford said they saw the drone at around 2:20 p.m. In the video, it’s hovering amidst a tree’s branches near the edge of the Rivers of America, across from The Golden Horseshoe. A security Cast Member stands in front of it, checking on it and making sure guests don’t get too close. A shorter clip at the end of the video shows the drone crashed into the bushes and two security Cast Members are looking at it.

Drones are prohibited in Disneyland Resort and other Disney Parks. If the drone was being used by Disney, there would have been a crew nearby. Whoever was controlling the drone is not visible in the video, and may not have even been inside the park.

This isn’t the only recent instance of a prohibited item being brought into Disneyland. A guest was recently caught with a sparkling firework taking photos in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Guests have also been breaking other Disneyland Resort rules by jumping onto parade floats and into the Grizzly Peak water.
