Disney World is a great vacation destination for guests who enjoy being entertained during their trips. But Disney World is so much more than just rides! Live entertainment is important to many guests, and Disney World offers some of the best live entertainment in the country. Did you know that you can experience entertainment without even buying a ticket to the Disney parks? Disney Springs is a massive shopping and entertainment center that is free for anyone to enter and enjoy. You’ll find shops, restaurants, and even live entertainment and a few paid attractions. If you find yourself at Disney Springs in the future then keep an eye out for some of the best live entertainment that they have to offer.
Entertainment at The Edison
The Edison is a bar and restaurant that not only serves great food, but great entertainment as well. The Edison’s entertainment varies, but it runs nightly and is extremely unique. Themed after an abandoned power plant, the entertainment at The Edison is inspired by burlesque and steampunk. A blues band plays as dancers entertain, aerialists perform, stilt walkers roam, and you might even spot a magician or two. This is a great place to go if you want to sip on cocktails or munch some food while you see things that you might not have ever seen before.
Music at House of Blues
New Orleans’-inspired cuisine isn’t the only thing you’ll find at House of Blues. Not only will you find sculptures and other works of art, but you’ll also be able to listen to great live music. Musicians of just about every genre have performed at House of Blues, so you never really know what you might be treated to that evening. If live music isn’t playing then chances are that a DJ is, and guests are invited to dance and have fun.
Entertainment at Raglan Road
Raglan Road is an Irish pub that offers so much more than fish and chips. Raglan Road hosts nightly entertainment across two stages, one indoors and one on the outdoor patio. Irish dancers and bands light up the stage and entertain guests in traditional ways. Performances run each day from evening into the night, and guests are invited to celebrate as they enjoy great food and drinks. This is also a great place to celebrate St. Patrick’s day!
Cirque Du Soleil
If you want a performance that takes it to the next level then you should consider seeing Cirque Du Soleil. This troupe has a residency at Disney Springs and their show, Drawn to Life, celebrates animation and creativity. This performance is a ticketed event, but many guests find the show to be well worth the price. Cirque Du Soleil uses visual effects, acrobats, aerialists, and more to craft a truly unique and one-of-a-kind experience.
