La Nouba and vision disability

[madaboutMickey]

Sorry, if this has been asked bfore but I couldn't find any info doing a search. I am legally blind in one eye and have low vision in the other. I ususally sit fairly close to the front of the shows at WDW. Is there any kind of accomodations for this at the theater?

You should contact Cirque du Soleil directly to ask about accommodations for La Nouba shows. I believe tickets are seat-specific, so you would need to purchase tickets that provide adequately for your needs and then you would be guaranteed those seats.

Enjoy your vacation!

You would need t contact them directly, as lanejudy suggested. When you purchase tickets, you are purchasing tickets for specific seats, so you need to plan where you are going to sit at the time you buy the tickets.

Here is a link to the ticket page for La Nouba.
https://shop.omniticket.com/wdw/wcq/index.cfm

It includes a special number for guests with special needs to use to contact them. It also includes a map of the theater seats.
We have not been to La Nouba, but have been to the Cirque du Soleil Beatles show in Las Vegas. If the theater is similar, you may not want to be in the very front - the action takes place in front but also all over and above stage, even above the seating area.
Being too close can make it hard to see the things not happening right in front of you and some of the things happening above.

What might be most important is to explain which eye you are legally blind in and how that affects your ability to see things on that side of you.
So, you might want to think things out a little bit before calling.

This page shows some pictures of the stage with riggings, so you can see a bit more where the action takes place ( a few pictures are of the seating/stage area, the rest are behind the scenes).

Thank you both for your replies! Sue, the photos are exactly what I needed. I knew that the theater was small but being able to see some of the seating is extremely helpful. We saw their Mickael Jackson show in Montreal and I thought I had it all figured out with getting seats that were along the catwalk. When we got there found out they actually were diagonal to the stage and of course the catwalk was on my blind side. Luckliy I was on an end so I just turned my chair as much as I could without causing any isssues for those in back of me. I shouldn't have any problem sitting near the top of the first sections. Probably the best would be center but the AP discount is not available for that. The cat 1 on either side of center looks like it would be the best. Have a couple more days before I can purchase the tickets. These tickets can't be purchased more than 30 days out. So hopefully, there will still be something available in those ares.
