That was my favorite part - but I also love the Old Mill and was so happy they included a fairly obscure IP in that show.
How is the finale act - the big swings? It was really lacking when I saw it.

I swear to god i dont remember so many people being involved in the big swings act. Ive seen it done with 6 women. Then 9 women. All the men were new to me. Maybe it was a covid thing. I sweat the cast grew by double.
But it was more exciting than i remember it being for sure.
The original swings were a big miss for me.
A swing -- powered by others pushing -- throws you into the air... you do a simple acrobatic flip/twist, and you land on super thick mats which the other ladies are holding up off the ground and let go when you land.
And if they're going to land on the other swing, there's no timing. The other team holds the landing-swing up in place for you.
I'm glad they're evolving the acts over time to make the weaker ones better.

Possibly. But I certainly cant do that sh**. So its nice to watch people who can do that, do that.

No rubber band act or feet tumble act tonight. But part of their actors were there in the finale. Must be sick? Idk

Most likely injury. The teeter board act isn’t the same since Jerome’s contract ended.

When I saw the Teeterboard act a couple weeks ago it was really rough…. One of the guys was very solid and did a triple to a mat - but lots of the act was really rocky.
also - only one set of foot juggling, so i
Guess both are out now.
I definitely felt like the show as a whole is in pretty good shape now - much better then when I first saw it.
Are there not any alternates for foot juggling and Teeterboard?

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.

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?
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.

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.

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?)
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...

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.
