Hi everyone!
Although we're not going for ageeeeeeeeeeees...I'm in planning mode!!
We're going for 17 nights & we want to do a couple of dinner shows or something in the evening. We've decided on Pirates Dinner Aventure, but we're not sure about the 2nd show.
I'm considering Medeval times - has anyone done this? Not too keen on Dixie Stampede or Arabian nights as I don't like horses, lol! We've also considered Cirque du Soleil or the blue man group at Orlando, but we're open to any suggestions!!
We'll be staying on-site at Disney for 5 nights then 12 nights on I-Drive, but we won't have a car.
Look forward to hearing some suggestions!!! :D :D :D

Sam ,
Have a think about the Makahiki Luau at Seaworld its an evening show with a Hawiian theme and food.
We went last October and really enjoyed it.
If you click on my 07 trip report below in my signature , its day 3 to see some pics

We struggle to fit an evening show in 25 nights, enough for us in the parks and visiting places like Old Town, Celebration, DTD etc.
Personally would only do 1 in 17 nights but you know what you want to do.
Many like Cirque I didnt but loved Blue Man Group, would watch them over and over again.
Dixie Stampede has shut down
We really liked Hoop Dee Doo review.

Though we all thought it was brilliant:thumb:

The ML looks good (I'm going to spend this afternoon reading through your trip report now I've had a peak at day 3, lol!)
How long does the show last for? Would be handy for us too as we're planning to stay at the Hampton Inn close to the convention center so easy to get to seaworld from there.
Wayne - Last time we went for 14 nights & didn't do a dinner show at all, so we definitely want to do one...you're right though, 2 might be ambitious...it would be good to do one based near Disney as we're staying there for 5 nights, I might have a look to see if there is anything....I know when I went about 10 years ago, there was some sort of BBQ I vaguely remembered with the characters, lol!

There is also Mickeys back yard BBQ. Not done it for 14 years but also really enjoyed that, that one has characters in, Hoop does not

I think this is what we did when we were little. Great fun!!! Trying to decide now whether we will have time for two I-Drive shows - probably not...we want to play mini-golf a few nights too, we'll be staying late at the parks most nights....probably be just the one now! But I would like to do something one evening at Disney - but there's so many nice restaurants, and the fireworks/displays at all of the parks...fitting it all in is a huge challenge!!
We did Medeval times years ago and it was good but havent been since

Medieval Times is a great show but now sure how feasible it is without a car as it's a long way down the 192
