How early should you arrive to Cirque du Soleil?

[mouseclick1]

Trying to decide whether to get tickets for the 6:00 or 9:00 performance. How early should you arrive before your performance time? Also, how long the does the performance run? Thanks!

I though that was just a temporary thing - do they still have cirque? How hard is it to get tkts?

 

[SIDEWALK]

OK - maybe that was a stupid question - when we were at "the world" in 2000 I thought someone said it was only for 2000. Boy - I need to be updated!

Your seats for Circque are assigned, so you don't have to get there extremely early. However, there was *pre-show* entertainment in the theatre when we went....entertainers working in the aisles, and with the audience.

If I recall correctly, the show was about 1 1/2 hours or so? Someone correct me if that's not right.

We got REALLY lucky with excellent seats at the last minute. Someone must have cancelled their tickets! I wouldn't expect to have that kind of luck again. I'd plan as far in advance as possible!

We went to the 8:00 show and got back over to the boat to take us to POR about 11:30. I think it was the last boat back.
My DD had to stop and buy something from Cirque and a store at DTD.

Excellent show!!

We got a 9:00 show for June. They want you there an 1/2 hour before show time. Our seats are great and I'm very excited about going. I've always wanted to go. This year we bought the Silver Plan and this was the first thing we reserved! We are having dinner at Portobellos at 6:30. The gentleman at Portobello's said 6:30 will give us plently of time to get to Cirque by 8:30. I can't wait!!

I have the Silver Plan too and wanted to use wishes for Cirque, can you book those in advance? I thought you had to wait until the day of for those?

 

[TINKFAN3]

Yes, you can book them in advanced. We booked very early on and have wonderful seats. I can't wait to go!! Since you are on the Silver Plan check out a meal at Portobello's before the show! Have a great time!

I am an avid Disniac but this year im trying Universal. I havent done the Cirque before and im staying nearby at the Sheraton Studio City on I-Drive. I think I have decided that our first night i will really impress everyone (including myself) by suprising them w/ a Cirque show. We will arrive at about 5:00pm on a friday and settle into our hotel... what time should I leave the hotel? How should I go about getting there? (keep in mind i REALLY dont want to drive on my vacation) also if I request class 2 tickets... will i get to chose if i want to sit in the front or back sections? Thanks so much!! im Soooooo excited
