Overview

Get ready for a groundbreaking creative partnership between renowned memory-makers Cirque du Soleil and Disney.

Set your creativity in motion. With Drawn to Life, Walt Disney Animation's art is brought to life in a way that has never been possible before. Bring the whole family together for an extraordinary experience as the stage is turned into a massive animated table for this stunning new show, which features live acrobatics.

Along with brand-new Disney animation and an original score that draws inspiration from legendary Disney music, Cirque du Soleil's inventive design, acrobatic performances, stunning choreography, and varied costuming reimagine the art of classic Disney animation. All of the mind-blowing exuberance and high-flying stunts for which Cirque du Soleil is renowned are present in the performance.

This tribute to Disney Animation's art embraces the actions and feelings of life. The plot of the show focuses on a motivated young woman who finds one last item left by her animator father — a collection of incomplete sketches. She sets out on an exciting quest infused with her Disney childhood memories, assisted by a magical pencil and a funny band of creative muses. We'll accompany her as she dives into an imaginative realm of animation and unearths fresh options that bring her future into motion.

Highlights

  • Boat ride on the Crystal River

  • Swim and snorkel where wild manatees live

  • Visit Homosassa State Park to see rescued Florida wildlife

Overview

After boarding the tour vehicle, we will head off towards Citrus County and the famous Crystal River — the only place in the world where it is legal to swim and snorkel with wild manatees.

After some information from our professional tour guide and a safety presentation at the dive shop, you will be fully prepared for your boat ride.

The Coast Guard Certified Boat Captain will slowly cruise down the river looking for the wild manatees. You can choose to snorkel and swim in the crystal-clear water, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the natural surroundings on the boat tour.

Manatees, also known as sea cows, are gentle giants, and when snorkelling in the river where they often swim, they sometimes come to greet you or even roll over to be tickled. You cannot approach wild manatees; they are wild on the river, but if we spot them, manatees often will come near to humans. This is an experience you don't want to miss out on.

We will include a stop at a local café for you to purchase lunch.

The afternoon allows us to spend time at the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Wildlife State Park – one of Florida’s best-kept secrets. At this 210-acre park, you will have the chance to view many of Florida’s endangered animals, such as the state panther and black bears. Known as the Nature’s Fish Bowl, they have an underwater viewing chamber looking towards the springs, which is where the park's manatees like to hang out — they are housed there during their rehabilitation before being released back into the wild.

This park works to rescue and rehabilitate as many animals as it can, whilst providing a safe haven for those whose injuries often make it impossible for them to return to the wild.

Arriving back into the Orlando area around 5 PM, this tour really is a true Florida adventure, and something unique to this area.
