Day 6 Part 2
Wasting as much time as we could before we were let into the theater for Cirque... We took pictures of the area, and continued to wander.
Once the gates were open - we were one of the very first people let it... We found our seats easily enough... And in hindisght - I was very happy with the seat recommendations I received from my friends here - we had section 205, row JJ, seats 9 & 10.
There were these clowns that ran around entertaining guests as sort of a "pre-show", they were pretty funny...
A few things...
First of all - there are NO pictures allowed once the show starts. They are VERY strict about this, because the screens can be a very dangerous distraction for the performers. At one point, there was someone below us, who had their cell out to take pictures and someone came and made them shut it off. We were told, if we were caught taking pictures, we'd be removed from the theater. The above person wasn't - but I am sure there were no second warnings.
At one point - at the very beginning of the show, these horrible people came and sat right in the open seats next to Allison - they were loud, obnoxious and we are guessing, they were drunk too. Just terrible and very rude. I felt so bad, because Allison paid a LOT of her own hard earned $$ for this show, she was so excited to see it - and if these people ruined her experience for her, I would have been very angry. As it turned out, they were seat jumpers - so they only stayed in those seats for about 15 minutes - then they jumped to their next best seats... We were very glad to have them gone!
Anyways - due to the no photo rule... I have no photos.
But I did take a few to use off of the internet (I will give photo credit to the photographers) - there are just so few pictures out there because of this...
First off - this photo is of the Silks... I used this photo from Allears.net.
The rest of these photos come from the official Cirque Du Soleil website...
I really loved "The Titan" - he was really cool to watch.
The show was about 90 minutes long, with various acts. My favorite part of the show, honestly, was the music. Allison and I didn't realize until the show was almost over, that all of the music was played live... And the music was just as you'd imagine it would be in a true Circus... It was really cool!
The one thing both Allison and I agreed that we didn't like, was the lights. They had a lot of really BRIGHT spot lights that would flash on and off, sometimes over the crowd and sometimes into our eyes... We did not like that at all. It happened a lot over the course of the show - and there was even one entire act where the spot light was in my eyes for the entire act - so I really couldn't see the stage. So, that was a big bummer.
I am glad we went to the early show though - I don't think I would have been able to stay awake for the late show?
One final picture from my camera...
The show let out at 7::30pm... The SoG bus picked up right behind the Cirque theater - this worked out perfectly for us, it was so convenient. Any other time we were at DTD, it was a big inconvenience - because we spend most of our time on the East end... but this time, it was nice.
We were back to the resort at 8pm. We hung out in our room, and we were in bed by 9pm. We needed our beauty sleep for Harry Potter tomorrow!
