Cirque du Soleil and Disney Transportation

Hey everyone, just wanted to take a moment before the conference kicks off to share my quick review of Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba... In a word it was amazing. The performers really make things look so easy. The music was incredible, and the every act was superb. Interestingly, they replaced a chair balancing act with a juggling act - bringing in Anthony Gatto (sp?) from one of the company's other touring shows (I saw him in Kooza). The aerial silk was perfect, and the music complemented it well. I won't give away details, to avoid spoiling any surprises but in general this is a great show to see, especially if you have yet to attend a Cirque show. You won't be dissapointed.

Now about transportation... It's really easy here in Disney. Resorts owned by Disney have various methods for getting people to different areas and attractions. Some use boats, monorails, buses or any combination of these methods. The Coronado Springs Resort happens to use buses. If your idea of mass transportation consists of the occasional limo, fear not! Simply head to one of the several bus locations on the Coronado property and wait for a bus that has the name of the attraction or destination that you want. This evening, I hopped on the "Downtown Disney" bus to head to dinner and the show. The trip only took 10-15 minutes and it was as easy as could be.

When returning to the hotel, simply head to the bus area where you were dropped off and wait for a bus labeled with the Coronado Springs on front -- also, if your not certain you could always ask the driver. Everyone in Disney is very friendly and helpful.

In closing, I do have to mention how nice it is to be down in Florida/Disney. As I was telling a friend, it's such a relief that the biggest problem that I've had to deal with down here was a marshmellow getting stuck in the opening of the lid to my hot cocoa. Things are great.
