Hi Karen!
Welcome back to planDisney.
I love spending time at Disney Springs, and I absolutely love this fabulous show -
Drawn to Life Presented by Cirque du Soleil® & Disney. I have tickets to see this again on my next visit! If this is your first time watching the show, you are in for a real treat. It's a stunning combination of storytelling, music and acrobatics that will take your breath away. The show lasts for 90 minutes, with no breaks, so your 5.30pm show will end around 7.00pm. Be sure to arrive early so you can enjoy the pre-show!
If you have time before the show, I highly recommend
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop in Marketplace, for the best coffee at Walt Disney World (in my opinion) and amazing ice cream sundaes. If you'd rather stay around the theater, a Starbucks is nearby.
This map of Disney Springs shows you the location of the Cirque du Soleil Theater (resembling a white circus tent) on the far left of Disney Springs West Side. T-REX ™ is located in Marketplace (number 14 on the map). I recommend you familiarise yourself with where it is, and it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to walk across, even if it's very busy at Disney Springs. I have found that exiting the theater has been reasonably quick. You'll be at T-REX ™ in good time for your 7.30pm reservation.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World!
