More than 60 artists from around the world, including gymnasts, acrobats, dancers and clowns, take artistic energy to riveting new heights in Cirque du Soleil, an innovative combination of theater and the circus at Downtown Disney West Side. Recognized throughout the world for its astounding shows, Cirque du Soleil presents "La Nouba" - an unforgettable tapestry of art, life and high drama -- in a specially designed theater in two shows daily Wednesday through Sunday.

Another new entertainment adventure at Downtown Disney West Side is DisneyQuest, a breakthrough concept in family interactive entertainment. You can climb aboard a virtual river raft, grab a paddle and shoot the rapids; buckle into a motion simulator and ride a roller coaster of your own design or fly a magic carpet. Four distinct "worlds" combine the magic of Disney with engaging interactive technologies.

These are just two of the many new experiences at the Downtown Disney area, a place full of entertainment, food, shops and fun for guests of all ages. The area is divided into the West Side, Pleasure Island and the Marketplace. Along with DisneyQuest and Cirque du Soleil, Downtown Disney West Side features restaurants, shopping and the AMC 24 Theatres.

Pleasure Island offers eight exciting clubs, like BET SoundStage Club featuring rhythm and blues, soul and hip-hop, and the Wildhorse Saloon for dancing, barbecue and some of the best new country music on the charts.

Downtown Disney Marketplace features more than 20 diverse shops and restaurants, including the World of Disney, the largest Disney character merchandise store on the planet.
