Hi All
After seeing an advert for this show I was woundering what the majority of Dibbers who have seen seen the Cirque du Soleil thought about it. My kids are aged 14 & 8 and I think it would be a great treat for them. Do any of you Dibbers think its is worth the money. If anyone know of a link to go straight into the Cirque du Soleil web site can they please paste it in. I have found it difficult to find out more information. Oh , one last question where is it performed and is it available to travel to it by bus?:spin:
Many Thanks

hi it is defo worth going and my 6 year old loved - like slava without the snow!!
yes you can get a disney bus to downtowwn disney and go to disney on the lynx bus depending on where you are staying might be easier to get a taxi - we went by bus but got a taxi back to i-drive much easier for me with tired 6 year old in tow

Thanks for the advice. Looks like its a go !! I have already look at booking the tickets after reading your comments but will have to wait as they are only bookable 6 months in advance and we are not going to September. Still , that gives me more time to save ie the beer tokens will have to take a bigger hit :cry: this year

We loved it too - we are going for a second time soon! In our opinion it's worth every penny - it's like nothing we had ever seen before. And the other posters are right, the pre-show is a big part of it all too.
Can't wait to see it again now!:)
Cirque is fantastic! I am looking forward to seeing it for the second time on May 1st. Am really looking forward to my Mum and nephew's reactions as they haven't seen it before.
I've read many reviews here about Cirque and I can only remember one person saying they didn't like it. You don't have to get the most expensive tickets, all the seats have a great view. When booking book via their own website as that way you get to see what seats are being offered to you and you can reject and try again. You can pick up at the box office, but I had them delivered and they came in about a week I think (by Fed Ex)

Seen La Nouba twice and my kids thought it was the best thing we did on our holiday - loved it even more than the theme parks

we absolutely loved it, even though we became part of the pre show entertainment! do not arrive less than 30 minutes before the show or you risk doing the same! it gets the atmosphere going and the show is superb, definately can't be beaten. we're going again this year, hopefully new years eve, which is supposed to be an extra special show

Definately yes!
Whilst I thought the show was very good when I saw it I was perhaps expecting a little too much based on all of the glowing reviews I had read on here and elsewhere. Personally, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I actually preferred the Lion King show at AK! :pgig:
However, I would still say YES, go and see it.

I've seen it twice and I thought it was fantastic. Don't have a clue what the story is supposed to be but it is worth every penny.

Vastly overated, overpriced for a load of people jumpin around imo.

Fabulous and unmissable show. Initially ds and dd didnt want to go but they had to! lol However they absolutely loved the show (as did I ) and said it was one of the highlights of the holiday.

At last, I'm not the lone voice of dissent on the Dibb anymore:thumbs-up
Enjoyed the skills of the artists, but all the arty pretentious posing left me and DH cold! Would not go again!
Now the one in Las Vegas looks more like my cup of tea:grin:

Hi
Which of the shows in Vegas? there are 4 or maybe 5 now. We saw "O" last year, which was great ( Seats closest to the stage were the best). I would like to see Love ( Beatles) but that will have to wait until the return Vegas visit!

Definitely, YYYEEEESSSSSS!!!
We've seen La Nouba twice now and also Saltimbanco. Both are absolutely fantastic and well worth the money IMHO.
DS thinks it is fantastic too, and he was aged 12 & 13 respectively.
