Pirates vs. Medieval Knights???

[3TinksAndAnEeyore]

This March will be my third year chaperoning my daughter's middle school band to a 3-day Disneyland Magical Musical outing. We spend one evening of the trip doing an outside-the-parks activity. The past two years we've done the Medieval Times dinner and watched jousting knights and cheered on our favorites. The band director is wondering if we should change things up this year and go to the Pirates Adventure Dinner instead.

Has anyone done both? Did you feel like they were roughly the same experience or was one significantly better? Do you think one would appeal more to a group of 12-14 year old band students?

I and my 6 year old liked medieval times better than pirates adventure.

Pirates was kind of chaotic with lots of stuff going on, hard to follow. It also had some mild raunchy stuff.

Food for me was about same in terms of quality and quantity.

We have never done Medieval but absolutely loved Pirates. Food was really good and super filling. Appetizers are more kid focused like cheese sticks, jalapeno poppers etc. At Pirates they get individuals from the audience to join in on the show too. You cal also usually find 2 for one deals also.

I would do it for variety, as stated, the food is about the same, but at least you get cutlery with your dinner.

I have seen and like both of them.

Thanks for the replies. I'll give the feedback to the music director. There are only a handful of us who have gone on this trip multiple times, so either show will be new to the majority of the 40 students. But after two years in a row of Medieval Times, I wouldn't mind a little variety. Personally, I would rather stay in the parks, but this is a way to give the kids a planned and pre-paid dinner and give the kids a "rest" from being on their feet. They've discovered some of the kids poop out without having the mid-way park break.
