Animated Evening dining offer with Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life show
If you’re planning to see the Cirque du Soleil show “Drawn to LIfe” at Disney Springs the next time you’re at Walt Disney World, you can now make a night of it.
Disney is now offering a prix fixe dining option at one of 13 Disney Springs restaurants. (Some of the super popular restaurants are missing from the list, including the Boathouse, Chef Art Smith’s Homecoming and Morimoto Asia.) A 3-course dinner is either $45 or $65 per person, depending on where you dine, and you can choose a reservation either before or after your show. The price does not include taxes or tip.
The 13 included restaurants range from casual and family-friendly (City Works, Planet Hollywood, Splitsville) to date-night fare (Paddlefish, Jaleo).
More details below, but this looks like a great deal to us, and a terrific opportunity to try something new. (If you haven’t been to Jaleo, trust us, and go for your next date night.) As a bonus, Drawn to Life is a lovely show, a sweet marriage of Cirque du Soleil and Disney. Together, this promises to be a great date night or family night out.
The following offer a $45 prix fixe menu:
- City Works Eatery & Pour House
- Enzo’s Hideaway
- House of Blues Restaurant & Bar
- Jaleo by José Andrés
- Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante
- Paradiso 37, Taste of the Americas
- Planet Hollywood
- Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant
- Splitsville Luxury Lanes
- Terralina Crafted Italian
Or, choose a prix fixe menu at $65 per person at one of these restaurants:
- The Edison
- Paddlefish
- Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill
Each prix fixe menu offers a choice of appetizer, entree and dessert. Jaleo is a little different; if you haven’t been there, the restaurant typically serves tapas, so instead of an appetizer and entree, you can choose four different tapas, plus dessert. The Animated Evening menus are posted online, so you can see what strikes your fancy before making your reservation.
