Cirque du Soleil Store 🎪
The Cirque du Soleil Store on the West Side is the merchandise destination connected to Drawn to Life, the Cirque du Soleil and Disney production created specifically for Disney Springs. The shop carries apparel, books, bags, toys, pins, plush, and other pieces inspired by the show, making it the natural stop for guests who want something to remember the performance. Even if you are not seeing Drawn to Life that day, the merchandise blends Cirque’s theatrical style with Disney storytelling in a way that feels very different from the character merchandise found elsewhere around Walt Disney World.
Experience ✨
The store works best as an extension of the Drawn to Life experience, especially after seeing the show when the characters, artwork, and imagery are still fresh in your mind. Browsing beforehand can also be fun, although some merchandise may make more sense once you understand the story and visual style of the production. The assortment includes both practical souvenirs and more show-specific keepsakes, so shoppers can choose between something simple like a pin or bag and an item that feels more connected to the performance itself.
Atmosphere 🎭
The atmosphere is colorful, whimsical, and theatrical, with merchandise that reflects the creative world of Cirque du Soleil rather than looking like a standard Disney retail space. The visual style carries elements of animation, performance, and imagination, which fits naturally with the theater next door. It is a smaller and more focused shop than Disney Springs’ large merchandise stores, giving it the feel of a show boutique rather than a general souvenir location.

Disney specifically highlights apparel, books, bags, toys, plush, and pins among the current assortment, with many of the pieces tied directly to the characters and imagery from Drawn to Life.

$$$$ ($76+)
Price Tier: $$
The Cirque du Soleil Store fits primarily into the $$ range because many common souvenir purchases, including apparel, smaller bags, toys, pins, and gift items, are likely to fall around the moderate $21 to $50 level. Smaller keepsakes may come in below that range, while specialty bags, premium apparel, or more substantial collectibles can move higher. The pricing is similar to what you would expect from merchandise attached to a major live production, with enough smaller choices that you do not need to make a large purchase to take home something connected to the show.
