We went to Disney Springs to try a NEW behind-the-scenes tour!
Disney World is already home to several backstage tours, from the Keys to the Kingdom tour to the Wild Africa Trek. But now, another offering has joined the ranks — and this one is found at a popular show!
Cirque du Soleil is now offering a special tour called the Page to Stage Signature Experience. It costs $285 for adults and $235 for children and includes tickets to see Drawn to Life, unique souvenirs, concessions, and a backstage tour of the theater.
In honor of the new offering, Cirque du Soleil invited us out to check out the tour! When we arrived, we were first shown the exclusive pin that will be given to all who pay for the signature experience.
Also included in the package is a commemorative popcorn bucket, as well as the snack and drink of your choice from the concession stand.
From there, you’ll find your seat in the designated premium seating for Drawn to Life. You’ll get to watch the full show, which is themed to Disney Animation!
Due to the timing of the media preview, we were able to watch part of the Drawn to Life training and rehearsals. This will not take place during the regular Page to Stage Signature Experience.
The tour only takes place after the late performance on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so once the show is complete, your guide will meet you at your seats to begin the backstage experience. From there, you walk down to the basement to kick things off with a meet and greet! You’ll get the chance to snag photos with and interview some performers from the show.
We won’t spoil too much, but your next stops along the tour will include a peek at the costume area, where they take care of the hundreds of costume pieces for the performance.
After that, we were led to perhaps the coolest part of the experience — under the stage! Here, you can see the lifts that carry performers and props up onto the stage.
Our guide concluded the experience with a visit backstage, where we got to see more props, costumes, and safety equipment for the performers. We also learned about the motion capture technology that allows Cirque du Soleil to project designs onto the performers’ costumes.
The entire experience was incredible and really shines a light on all the hard work that goes into a show of this caliber! If you’d like to purchase tickets, they’re available on the Cirque du Soleil website now.
We would definitely recommend this to people who love Cirque du Soleil or who just want to try something unique during their Disney Springs visit.

Disclosure: We were invited by Cirque du Soleil to attend a preview of the Page to Stage Signature Experience. This did not affect our reporting of the event — our opinions are our own.
This sounds amazing but £300?! Yikes.
This sounds awesome! I’ve seen and loved the show twice and this would be so special. I’m going to check their website now to see if I can do this on my next trip!
