Best Dinner Show in Orlando area

[THESCHULTZFIVE]

I wanna which dinner show everybody likes best and why. Since we've never "ventured out" into Orlando while staying at Disney(except to the hospital, don't ask) I figured since we're staying offsite this year to give a dinner show a try. We've done Medieval Times here in NJ, so maybe we'll try something different. What do you like? Our kids will be 9,3,and 22 mo.

I liked the Arabrian Nights show - however I was informed that the Mystery (there are several now) are the best and that Arabrian nights is horrible. Everyone has different taste.

with your kids that young - that might be a problem. (these are generally Murder Mystery stuff - fun for adults but might scare kids)

If you don't get enough responses - go ask on the restuarant board.

There is a Pirate's Adventure that my (2x DS's they would have been 8 and 6 ) at the time really loved. That was their favorite. We've also done Medieval Times which was a really good show, Arabian Nights which we thought pretty bad. I guess it all kind of depends on what you like.

I went to Medevil Times and had a blast. Watch the ticket price though, they(like arabian nights)offer VIP seating for an upgraded price.
Skull Kingdom is one that im looking at for next time. A haunted house, then a magic show, with the dinner of pizza/soda/beer. Its not the quality of a MT, but if you've been to Disney a few times, it sounds cool.
All the orlando dinner shows have websites with discounted tickets....as well...check em out.

I was looking at skull kingdom too. Also the magic show at wonderworks(I think it's called chamber of magic). I thought it might be either too scray for the youngest two or no interesting. Anybody done the Sea World Luau?

We did the magic show at Wonderworks and Sleuth's (murder mystery) last week. DD9 loved both of them, but your younger one probably won't like Sleuth's. The magic show was great, very funny, all-you-can-eat pizza and then you can tour the museum after. Kind-of a hands-on science museum, lots of neat stuff to do. We liked it, but it hasn't gotten very good reviews on here. You be the judge.

We really enjoyed Arabian Knights (although food was terrible), thought Dixie Stampede was pretty good (food was great). We did the outtacontrol Magic show at Wonderworks and loved it.

You have 2 very young children. Have you thought about the Hoopdedoo. It's Disney but we loved it when we did it. I think all the action would hold the interest of your youngest two the best out of the ones I've listed.

I don't know anything about Skull Kingdom although it looks very scary from the outside. Maybe the pirate shows?

Good luck,
Jenn

I really like Arabian Nights and Orlandolocals seem to agree -- they have voted it the number one attraction for many years now.

I'd say Skull Kingdom is too scary for your little ones and the magic show, while great for adults, may be a little too uneventful for kids (it's mostly comedy).

Pirates is another good show with lots of action and a fabulous set.
