dinner shows

[ericb]

My wife and I are taking our three year old son with us to Orlando later this month. What dinner shows are there that are fun to watch for a three year old boy with reasonably good food? <IMG SRC="/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif" alt="confused">

Look no further than Medieval Times and Arabian Nights, the main choice along Highway 192 in Kissimmee. I rate MT very highly; great show (lots of horse-riding stunts, sword-play, falconry, cheering, etc), good food (with no silverware - kids love it!) and a really good indoor setting. Plus you get to look round their Medieval Life exhibition beforehand. MT is especially popular with boys for obvious reasons. Arabian Nights is not quite so spectacular and seems to appeal more to girls (it tells the story of Scheherezade) but still offers good food.

PS: Don't forget to check out our TicketRes link (under Discount Attraction Tickets) for good prices on the dinner shows, and more!

Medieval Times is awesome - just curious though, has anyone tried Capone's dinner theatre?

I did Capone's last year and was seriously unimpressed. It looked like a show waiting to close, and is definitely not something young children will enjoy. The food was pretty poor, too. Sorry.

I agree with SimonV. The best thing about Capone's is the enthusiasm of some of the performers. but that doesn't make up for failings elsewhere.

If you like solve-it-yourself murder mystery shows then leuths might be worth a look.
