The Mickeyphile Podcast Episode 246 - Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life, Disney News, and Easter Displays Around Walt Disney World

In this episode of The Mickeyphile Podcast, we head to Disney Springs to experience one of Walt Disney World’s most unique shows—Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil and Disney. This stunning production blends Cirque’s signature acrobatics with Disney animation storytelling, creating a show that celebrates the art of bringing characters to life.

We break down what makes the show special, the incredible performers, the animation inspiration behind the story, and whether this spectacular is worth adding to your next Walt Disney World vacation.

We also cover the latest Disney news, including the announcement that Josh D’Amaro will become CEO of The Walt Disney Company on March 18, 2025, a new baby Ankole calf born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and the return of the beautiful Easter egg displays at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Yacht & Beach Club, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

Plus we revisit the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run update we discussed last episode and what it could mean for the future of the attraction.

If you love Disney parks, Disney entertainment, and a little behind-the-scenes magic, this episode has something for you.
