Is Cirque worth the money????

I've heard great things about Cirque and we are thinking of going on our trip in May 07. Is it worth the money to see in WDW? Also, will a child be captivated by it and not be too bored???

I have never seen this but I have watched different versions on TV. I have read numerous reviews on MB and I think you will find that most will say that "yes", it is worth the money. Many people have said that even small children are very entertained. It is definately something that I want my family to see one of these days.

Absolutely 100%. Worth the money, and everyone (of any age) will be enraptured during the whole show!

Re: Is Cirque worth the money????

Yes, and yes! I've seen Cirque several times and they're worth every penny. A trip to see them in Atlanta was the primary part of my daughter's tenth birthday present a few years ago -- she LOVED the show.

I believe there are $10 off coupon codes floating somewhere on the net, a friend of mine sent me the link awhile ago. If I can find it, I'll post it here for you.

Re: Is Cirque worth the money????

We went this year(earlier) and like you I was very curious about the show. The show is non stop action from begining to end.Clowns are awsome,acrobats are incredible.stunts are amazing.My philosophy is: you have to go a least once.There is never a moment on stage where it is empty.Always,Always something going on.It is certainly worth the money.I say you should try it. If you have an AP they do have discounts for certain seating. I recommend you try to get as fron as possible.

Re: Is Cirque worth the money????

Cirque is fantastic- but I think I'd go while at Disney only if there was never a Cirque show anywhere near where you live. There's just so much to do at Disney, and only at Disney, that I'd save Cirque for a time when I had few options.

Re: Is Cirque worth the money????

We were asking ourselves the very same question as we were planning what to do for our trip last year. I had been dying to go see Cirque for the longest time so we finally decided to spring for the pricey tickets and guess what? IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT KIND OF SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!! Bottom line, if you decide to see Cirque, you won't regret it.

(And try to get tickets on the upper level towards the center or a little off to the side to save some $. From there you can see everything perfectly)

Re: Is Cirque worth the money????

Thanks for the great reviews. It was DH's idea, his friend has seen it a few times in NJ/PA and got him thinking. I will check into and reserve right away.

Re: Is Cirque worth the money????

I have heard nothing but fantastic reports of Cirque and one day I WILL go and see it for myself but it does always seem just a bit out of our reach ( $$ speaking) when we have so much to do already. If you can find the money without it causing any stress then do go, for sure!

Re: Is Cirque worth the money????

We absolutely loved it- and the kids did too until they fell asleep. I would suggest that if you are going to do it- pick a less busy day as the music is calming and all 3 of hte kids slept through most of it after a busy day

Re: Is Cirque worth the money????

The Cirque show at WDW is not showing anywhere else, so do not pass up the opportunity to see it. We have been to see it three times, and the show has been amazing each time. When my son was 4 he was a little antsy, but as he got older, he was able to sit and enjoy the show.
