Starting May 29 and running through August 28, 2025, Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World is offering a new summer deal that lets kids attend for free with the purchase of an adult ticket on Thursdays.

This seasonal offer gives guests one free child ticket (for ages 3–9) with the purchase of a full-price adult ticket for Thursday performances. The promotion is valid across most seating sections (GC, 1, 2, 3, and 4), with a limit of four free child tickets per transaction.

Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life

Tickets can be purchased in two ways:

Online at cirquedusoleil.com/drawn-to-life
In person at the Drawn to Life box office at Disney Springs by mentioning the “Kids Free” offer

The purchase window runs from May 20 through August 28, 2025, for show dates between May 29 and August 28. Block-out dates, taxes, and fees apply. The offer is not valid with other discounts or promotions.

Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life

Drawn to Life has been running at Disney Springs since 2021 and is a collaboration between Cirque du Soleil and Disney. The production blends acrobatics, choreography, music, and original animation to tell the emotional story of a young girl and her father, inspired by classic Disney animation.

How important is center vs. just off center? Weighing 204 Row M center row vs 203 Row P just off aisle, basically across aisle from 204. Prices are ~$180 vs. ~$120.

Tickets were discounted last year with the Chase card. But it was the Disney drone show that drew me to Disney Springs and attend this show. Have a feeling food and bev revenue going to take a big dip this summer. At least they don’t have to deal with the op issues now.

That visual is super helpful! Thank you!

Front row are great for being close to the action. You may miss some of the large story elements taking place high-up, but that's OK. For more...

With shows like this - your experience is dramatically different from different seating sections. I prefer being closer - you feel like you are part of the show and the action is right there. But… you miss some things being close. Sometimes props block your view for parts of the show and it’s hard to take it all in. I’ve seen drawn to life twice and preferred being closer to the stage (I think I was 4th row to the side?)

We’ve been semi interested in going. I went to a show as a kid, and have fond memories. But with 3 kids and tickets being so expensive we haven’t done it. Free kids (and only having two with us) makes it half price and almost reasonable. Does anyone have insight into seating? Are the front row seats bad? They’re almost all available the night we’re looking.

It's certainly drawing (no pun intended) less people than the old show did. Certainly whenever I talked to guests, it was almost an afterthought (they associate Cirque with Vegas, not Orlando). I think maybe 1% (if that) of guests even had a ticket to it, much less mentioned it as something they really wanted to see or were planning on it. But even the old show wasn't incredibly popular. I'd love for Cirque to pull out of WDW completely so Disney could get rid of the restriction on their own hard ticket shows at the resort... But that will never happen and this show will limp along for years like its predecessor.

Between the incessant ads on my Disney podcasts and now this, I don't get the feeling that Drawn to Life is incredibly popular and it seems like they're struggling to get people in the door...any word/confirmation on this?

I don’t see this on the cirque website. Does anyone know if there’s a code, or specific link?

They had two of them in the finale... But I also wonder if they were both the same position or not... I actually don't think the show needed the two acts to be honest. It was the best version of the show I had seen. There was not... But the pre-show lasted a bit longer and there was a LOT more interaction throughout the middle of the audience instead of just around the stage this time. Maybe that helped take up promised time.
