Beat the Rainy Day Blues with Indoor Dinner Shows

Occasionally, Florida’s green and sunshine-lit landscape does turn murky, and those bright skies turn a bleak gray. Sometimes, as it happens every so often in Florida, you might even find that it rains while the sun is high in the sky. Regardless, when the weather isn’t ideal for romping around Orlando theme parks, that doesn’t mean the fun has to end. Rainy days are perfect for catching a different kind of popular attraction, the dinner show. And with three incredible Orlando shows to choose from in particular, you’ll discover that there’s no such thing as melancholy weather in this city.

First up is the Pirate Dinner Adventure, which will take you out of the rain outside and into a watery adventure on the high seas. From the moment they enter the lagoon and climb on a pirate ship, guests are literally part of the show as they interact with the crew in pirate games, songs, and challenges. One of the most unique dinner shows in Orlando, Pirate Dinner Adventure dazzles nightly with swordplay, aerial artists, and acrobatics, as well as a colorful swashbuckling tale. And after partying with the pirates, you’ll wine and dine on a hearty meal served by the Pirate’s accommodating wait staff.

Or for something more traditional, experience a tried and true classic with the Medieval Times dinner show. Celebrating its 25th year in the US, Medieval brings the past to life every night with a merry show of medieval revelry, tradition, and competitions. Audience members will feel like royalty as they watch jousts on horseback from the comfort of stadium seating. You’ll be caught up in the excitement as you root for your favorite knight while he attempts to win the heart of the princess. And as you take in all the pageantry, you’ll enjoy a feast fit for kings including roast chicken, spare ribs, and more.

Finally, you can’t go wrong with Orlando’s #1 dinner show, Arabian Nights, which delights audiences with a one-of-a-kind show filled with fantasy, romance, and adventure, not to mention some of the most magnificent horses you’ll ever see. Taking place in a 140,000 square-foot equestrian arena – climate controlled, we might add – you’ll be amazed as expert riders perform incredible feats and tell a story of epic proportions.

Arabian Nights tells the story of Princess Scheherazade, who is celebrating her birthday. However, the plot thickens when an unexpected party guest arrives. Love will battle to overcome evil in this classic tale featuring plenty of magic, stunning sets and costumes, and the mysterious Black Stallion. While all the action is happening on the arena floor, you’ll also dine on an excellent three-course feast.

So when the weather outside gets frightful, don’t hole up in your hotel room; instead, enjoy the indoor delights of one of the Orlando dinner shows. They’ll far surpass anything you would have watched on TV. And remember to save on your Arabian, pirate, or medieval merriments with discount dinner show tickets at DWTickets.com.

Advice for the Theme Park Weary

If you are planning a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort your plans are surely centered around your visits to and from the four world class theme parks on the Disney property. And while these four parks have more entertainment options than one could take in during one vacation, there are undoubtedly going to be times during your vacation that you want to get away from the madness of the parks to just relax and enjoy everything else that the Walt Disney World Resort has to offer. To help prepare you for those rare down times, DWTickets.com has assembled some helpful tips of things you can do away from the parks, whether you have half a day off or a full day to occupy your time. Keep reading below for more details!

• If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort, which we highly suggest due to the amount of benefits you receive, one of the best things you can do with downtime is to explore your resort and all of the other hotels on property. Each one has a distinct personality and theme that is reflected through everything from the hotel rooms themselves to the architecture of the buildings and the activities/pools on the hotel grounds. If you are not staying at a deluxe resort, you might want to venture to one of them, especially the Magic Kingdom Park resorts around the Seven Seas Lagoon (you can easily access any of them via the monorail at the Ticket and Transportation Center). Another way to fully experience one of the resorts is by booking a full-service meal at one, as the hotels have some of the top-rated restaurants in all of Central Florida incorporated into them.


• While the Walt Disney World Resort has some great shopping (Downtown Disney is a great place for one-stop souvenir shopping), it doesn’t compare to the shopping that local area malls and outlets provide! With two of the largest outlet malls in the southeast, the Prime Outlets and Premium Outlets, only a few miles away, along with two malls with every story you can imagine (the Florida Mall and Mall at Millenia), Orlando has turned into a shopping mecca over the last few years. If you are looking to stay on a budget, you can get designer duds for a cheap price at the outlets, or if you are looking for the real thing, the Mall at Millenia is the place for you to go for all of the best in designer merchandise in town!


• Want to fuel your competitive juices while on vacation? Try a round of golf at one of Disney’s five championship golf courses, or for those less skilled, you can always test your hand at Disney’s two miniature golf courses. Of course, these aren’t the only courses in town to choose from – mini golf course line the streets of Lake Buena Vista and Kissimmee, and Orlando is one of the top spots in the country for competitive golf courses due to the year-round seasonable climate. A day on the links just may be the perfect way for you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Disney parks!In addition to some of the best shopping options in the state, Orlando also has some of the best restaurants in the entire country! You can find a restaurant for every taste bud in the Orlando area, and you have plenty of affordable options to choose from as well. However, if you are looking to make an entire night out of your dinner, we suggest taking in an area dinner show. These dinner shows are several hours long and offer unlimited food and drinks, as well as spectacular entertainment for the whole family. And, exclusively here at DWTickets.com, you can purchase discounted dinner show tickets for your whole family! We offer these discounted tickets to Arabian Nights, the Pirates Dinner Theatre, Medieval Times, the Makahiki Luau at Sea World and Tony and Tina’s Wedding dinner show, and any of these shows are guaranteed to give you a whole new dinner experience!


• Finally, Disney has a plethora of recreation options for those who want to relax and see a different side of Disney. The Walt Disney World Resort has everything from luxurious spas, boat rentals for the many waterways across property, bike rentals, horseback excursions and even the Richard Petty Driving Experience, which allows you to step into a real stock for the ride of your life! These activities are only the tip of the iceberg of things to do while you are at Disney, so be sure to check with your resort if you are staying at a hotel on property for a complete list of activities and ideas of things to do while you are visiting.

Pirates Dinner Adventure Plunders Into The Holidays

The holiday season is a time for getting together with family and friends and possibly doing things you don’t normally do – like meeting up at a dinner show and pretending like you’re on vacation. Or you can really go on vacation, and there’s no place like Orlando at Christmas time. And there’s no place like DWTickets.com for the best cheap tickets to all of Orlando’s theme parks and attractions. One idea for a special holiday celebration is to attend a dinner show, and the live performances in Orlando are winterized and ready for the holidays.

Thanks to the popularity of Disney’s Captain Jack Sparrow, pirates are a hot commodity this year. If you and your family would like to participate in a pirate adventure of your own this holiday season, the Pirate’s Dinner Adventure is the place to do it. Holiday music, a seasonal story line, amazing new sets, and a “shipload of yuletide surprises” make up this year’s special holiday show at Orlando’s “Most Interactive Dinner Show.”

For a limited time, pirate adventurers can join in this special swashbuckling holiday celebration starting with turkey and roasted chestnuts in the pre-show area, where the Christmas story starts. The evil Magistrate interrupts the holiday revelers, captures the princess, and Magee the Elf has to step in to save the show. The excitement continues into the main theatre which features an authentic replica of an 18th century Spanish galleon decked out in all of its winter glory. Surrounded by icebergs and covered in icicles and snow, the icy decore sweeps audience members into the frosty scene as it is bathed in a chilling white light.

As the show continues, Magee the Elf gets his wish, transforming into a pirate and heroically rescuing the princess and Christmas. All the while, more than 150 guests don costumes and join in the pirate action. Even the kids can join in the March of the Toy Soldiers to help Magee in his holiday heroics. The after party is happening too, with a DJ, disco, and special effects to help guests plunder and pillage the night away. (And this is included with your dinner admission.)

The holiday season calls for special celebrations, and the Pirate’s Dinner Adventure is a great place to do just that. Whether it’s the family, or a holiday group gathering, you can get the best discount tickets at DWTickets.com at Christmas and always!
