It was interesting to see that Disney is thinking of adding a Cirque show to DCA. We just came back from San Diego and did the Sea World, Legoland thing. "If" DCA does Cirque like Sea World does Cirque then I think it will be a great attraction. Let me clarify though, there are three Cirque shows at Sea World, "Mystique de la Mer", "Cirque de la Mer" and the "Mystique Dinner Show". We saw all three but the highlight was definitely the Mystique Dinner Show. The show is in a separate small grassy area that has a special setup of tables and a show stage (four in our party and we had our own table). The dinner show included a buffet dinner (Sea World food is much better than DLR food with the possible exception of Blue Bayou), a singing act and animals are brought out from other shows for guests to see. Then the Cirque show begins which was incredible, we all loved it. Highly recommended, well worth the extra cost.
I doubt that DCA could pull off something like the Mystique Dinner Show though. It would be near impossible to get such a small private venue at DCA. It probably would have to be on a large scale but I can’t imagine it being anywhere that exists now. Sea World has a arena that Mystique de la Mer uses. The worst thing about the summer concerts at DCA was the seating or lack of seating. I gave up trying to see the Beach Boys and barely tolerated the America show. My suggestion would to make a permanent outdoor arena in DCA with seating and adequate shade. There are similar areas in DL correct? Maybe just give up and replace that fictional Limo ride I hear about with an outdoor arena.
Disney could learn a lot from Sea World, the park is much better kept up, the food is better and all of the shows are first rate. Granted I wouldn’t have an AP for Sea World and we did the whole park in one day but we had a great time. The only exception would be the extra charge for the rides which we didn’t do. If we went on both rides it would have cost us an additional thirty-eight bucks!
Now Legoland, ugh. Legoland could learn a lot from Disney. I can’t believe how long it takes to get on a ride. One ride that carries two people has to stop, unload, move forward, then load. It took almost an hour to get on a ride that would take DL 15 minutes to get on. Geez, copy Disneyland you goofballs! The food is absolutely the worst park food I’ve ever had the displeasure to see, let alone eat. Legoland is definitely a one time venture.
One amusing note, if you miss DLR you can go on Sea Worlds version of Star Tours, Wild Artic or Legolands version of the Tea Cups, Bionicle Blaster (at least they copied one thing right).
