Cirque question

[sk!mom]

Our flight gets in at 2:00 p.m. Will we have time to take our free 30 minute grocery stop, get checked in, and make the 6:00 show? Or should we try for the 9:00, or even wait and go on Saturday after a day at Typhoon Lagoon? Thanks for suggestions.

I would hold off for another night as I would not want to take the chance of flights being cancelled (especially if you are traveling in the winter). Cirque tickets are just too expensive to miss the show. If you really want to go that same night, I would go with the later show - again, in case of delays and just to have time to relax. IMHO

If your flight lands at 2:00 then assume you'll have your luggage and be able to meet your limo driver by 2:30. Give yourself 1 1/2 hours to get to your hotel (including the grocery stop). That means you'll check in by 4:00, leaving plenty of time to get to the 6:00 Cirque show.

Although I think the timing is doable, I agree with Paladin that you should book the later show, if it's not too late for your family. This way you can check in at the resort and rest awhile.

Have fun.

You need to try and arrive 30 minutes before the show at Cirque. That way you can be seated before the pre show entertainment starts, about 15 minutes before showtime. Take it from me, it is very annoying to have late arrivers (after the show starts) interrupt your enjoyment of the show as they are lead to their seats.

Have Fun

It is even more annoying to hear the screams of people out in the lobby when they are told their seats have been resold because they were late. (They say seats may be resold if you are not in them 10 minutes before showtime!)

If at all possible do not buy tickets (or make other unalterable commitments) for your arrival day. Things happen.

I would book tickets for the same day you do a water park. That way you won't be rushed. And you won't be waiting for your bags to show up at the airport, while you stress out about not making it to Cirque!!! Been there, done that. WDW is no place for that kind of stress.
