Cirque Du Soleil Drawn

For many years there was a Cirque Du Soleil show in Disney Springs called La Nouba, which we saw many times (11, I think) but before Covid it was to be replaced – and Covid canceled the first showing of the replacement before it happened (we had it booked for April 2020, never went of course).

However the new show Drawn To Life did eventually open and of course we’ve seen it (5 times so far); it’s an interesting performance mixing Disney theming with Cirque acrobatics with a story that isn’t hard to follow (unlike some Cirque shows!)

Photography isn’t allowed during the performance, but there’s a pre-show that gives opportunities, as well as all the performers coming on stage at the end – so here’s some views to give a flavor of the costumes and colors, at least! The photos are from multiple visits, multiple locations – and interestingly hint at changes to the show (for example in last night’s show we did not see the stilt walkers!) … there’s also a couple of “accidental” photos of my favorite part of the show the “wheel of death” …

Animal Kingdom Lodge with zoom

This afternoon we visited Animal Kingdom Lodge to enjoy lunch at Sanaa, and I took my high zoom Sony camera to take animal photos – of which there were quite a few (this is cut down from all the photos I took!) …

At one point all the animals spotted a truck delivering food, and all headed the same way to intercept!

Finally, here’s photos of the excellent food we had for lunch!

Storybook Dining

Last night Margaret and I joined various of her friends to enjoy “Storybook Dining” at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge; it’s a quite expensive fixed price dining experience with a limited number of menu choices – although we both found acceptable options (I didn’t photo my entree, it wasn’t that great!) …

The reason for dining here (and paying the almost $70 each) is for the Disney characters – during the meal, Snow White and her companions Grumpy and Dopey visit the tables … and there’s also a chance to attend The Queen!

Overall it was a fun night but like everything Disney, it’s expensive!
