Medeival Times or Arabian Nights

[maroney495]

Our family(myself, dh,dd(24), ds(12) are planning a trip to WDW in March.
We will be arriving early afternoon on a Saturday and thought we
would like to go to either Arabian Nights or Medeival Times that evening.
Can anyone give me any info on them. Times, food served, which is better
etc. Any and all info will be helpful
thanks

I would vote for medeival times. The food is not bad, you eat with your fingers. You cheer on your knight. A saturday night is good, this is one place where a crowd is more fun to be in (make reservations). You sit in bleacher like seats so you can see everything. I think you will enjoy it.
I've also been to Arabian Nights. I didn't enjoy that one as much mainly because of poor treatment by the waiter.

Arabian nights hands down,just returned..... The times for the shows are 6:00 and 8:30 on weekends and the food is prime rib, red potatoes, mixed veggies all the beer, wine and pop you can drink ( and they ask you quite offten for re fills) Medievel times stopped doing unlimited drinks and i heard the food has really gone down hill ( my sister will not book tour groups there any more bec of all the complaints she gets) The show is for 2 solid hours get discount tickets on the web... ticketmainia.com etc. before you go to you can go right in and not stand in line plus the savings are worth it... There are chicken fingers for the kids or adults and also veggie lagasna. Even the pictues they take of the group we had to buy... they were nice and also reasonalbly priced for Orlando. 2 larges pictures with folders and a key chain with a small group picture for 20.00 for the package.. Enough pictures for everyone, one for my mother, one for us and one for my daughter who collects key chains... The show is a mixture of Aladdin, wild west and circus( gypyes, jugglers etc) I was WELL pleased ...

I like both shows. However, I think the major difference is that Medieval Times is more of an action/stunt show, a sort of ancient sporting event. The way they divide up the audience by color coding and have you cheer for the similarly colored knight adds a great deal of fun. BTW, the sound level is also VERY loud.

Arabian Nights, on the other hand, is more of a theatrical show in which the horses are the stars. There is a variety of scenes and themes which show off different breeds and different sets of skills.
