Cirque de Soleil

Hi, heard mixed reviews about this one in Orlando, can anyone please give me their opinions please, thinking to book for May - is it best to book direct online, and is their a best place to sit out of the most expensive seat category, ie section 203 and 205 seem available, but the central block 2nd tier 204 doesn't!
Also how long is the show and would a 9 year boy enjoy it?

[Claire44]

We have seen it twice now and plan to go again this year so that says it all, we love it. We booked direct with their website and there isn't really a bad place to sit as there is something happening no matter where you look. Both times we have been we have had catagory 2 seating I think it was block 206.
The show lasts around 90 minutes but it goes so fast and I am sure that your 9 year old would love it.

Thank you, I will definately go ahead and book the tickets - do you know if you can take your own drinks and snacks in their for the children?

[Claire44]

Don't know if you can take your own things in, just asked DH and we can't remember if they searched your bags as we went in. We bought cola and m&m's in there.

If I recall from our visit in September, there are security guards on the doors checking baggage. I do not think you would have a problem with small children's snacks though as if I recall rightly, the fare on offer was limited:confused2

We've been twice , cant remember bags being searched , they is a huge rush to get in .This year the seats we were given were only three rows back from the stage , not the best place to sit , last time we were in the 2nd tier block 205 i think thats the place to sit , especially if you can get near the front of the tier. A 9 yr boy should love it

My 8 year old dd loved it - they have big foam cushions you can borrow so that they can see better - grab one on your way in.
Can remember about snacks, but to be honest the show moved so fast we didnt' have time to think about it

Hi on the snack side of it we got two souveneir buckets of popcorn and two souveneir cups of coke they where pretty big and it was $15 in total:)

I must be one of the few tha are not keen on it. I found it intresting and different, but also got bored half way through. The rest of the family loved it. Is it always the same, or do they ever change it at all.

I did see the one at DLP; Crescendo and that one was amaziing! I did not get bored there.

This is an excellent show & worth every penny even if a little expensive we saw it last year with our DD's 9 & 6 & they loved it.

:thumbs-up Well, we really enjoyed the whole show and there was such a rush and so many people going in, there wasn't time to check bags so although I wouldn't go in there very obviously laden with goodies, I can't see a problem sticking some sweets and drinks in a small bag.
