First, for those of you who have seen the show before, what are your thoughts? (We haven't seen any of the other Cirque du Soleil shows -- just the 3-D movie they did about 5 years ago.) Second, I noticed there are about 5 different price points for seating. I'd be interested to know if anyone has seen the show more than once if you think there's a big difference between sections. Thanks! GSD

I cannot overstate how quality an entertainment experience CDS is. The performance site at WDW is also quality and quite high-tech in many non-visible ways. I've sat in the cheapest seats in the house and can't imagine why sitting closer would be a better show. Every seat is engineered close to the action. A beautiful thing about the whole performance is it's sense of story. Pay attention to the details of what's going on, from the very start to the very end. There is continuity there. Go. Find the LP thread and check it out.
