BREAKING: Tonight’s Performance of Drawn to Life Cancelled
As Walt Disney World prepares to bunker down for Tropical Storm Nicole, guests have seen a series of cancellations and closures today.
So it should be no surprise that Drawn to Life at Disney Springs has now also been cancelled tonight.
Theme Parks Close Early
Earlier today, Disney announced that all four theme parks would undergo a phased early closing beginning with Animal Kingdom at 5 p.m.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will then be closing at 6 p.m, followed by the Magic Kingdom and Epcot a 7 p.m.
To go along with the modified hours, all nighttime spectaculars have been cancelled. This includes Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom, Harmonious, at EPCOT, and also Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Following the initial wave of closures, Disney has further announced that Disney Springs will be closing at 7 p.m. The last dining reservations will be accepted for 6:30.
Drawn to Life Cancelled
In conjunction with this closure, Circque to Soleil has announced that tonight 8 p.m performance of Drawn to Life at Disney Springs has also been cancelled.

If you had tickets for tonight’s show, you will be notified of the cancellation by email. All tickets will be refunded.
While I’m sure it is a disappointment to those who had tickets tonight, the writing was on the wall that Drawn to Life would be cancelled tonight.
It makes sense that Disney would err on the side of safety, and keep everybody inside.
Cirque de Soleil’s Drawn to Life is an exclusive show to Disney Springs. Created by Cirque du Soleil, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Walt Disney Imagineering, the show was inspired by Disney’s animated films.
The new show in November 2021 to rave reviews. The show is now coming up on its one year anniversary.
