Can I ask which of these you think are the best.

I saw Arabian Nights 2 years ago and really enjoyed it, I just don't know whether to go back or perhaps try Medieval Times. I will also be going with my parents who would not have seen either.

Opinions appreciated.

Thanks

Jackie - not much help here but I'm doing both!!! Along with
Pirates Adventure, Sleuths & Dixie Stampede!!!
We've got a VIP upgrade for AK which allows us to meet the horses beforehand & also guarantees front three rows view seats.
Medieval Times didn't appeal to us much at first but after nosing around on the threads here on the DIBB I was converted!! Let us know how you get on!! :thumb:

We went to Medieval times 10 years ago - and it was brilliant, though that was probably because I was 14 and fancied the green knight!!! haha, :D You even get to meet the Knights afterwards... I'd suspect that it has changed a bit since then, I'm sure the green knight's not half as buff as I remember him being!!! :p:

I can say that all of the locals (even school field trips) pick Medieval Times over Arabian Nights.

Personally, I'd do Sleuth's or Dixie Stampede. Expect some good 'ole Americana with Dolly. She is American as Apple Pie and Baseball! :wink

Here's a thread I started about the Medieval Times, made me think it was worth a visit.

Chris -we went in 2001. It was a funny evening though. The rider kept falling off his horse. He was new though so maybe he had an excuse. However that stopped the flow if the story and it just kept on happening. As well as that the acoustics were poor and whatever story there was we couldnt hear. It was a total shambles and the audience were very fed up with the whole thing. I think I will be avoiding all dinner shows from now on. I think a day to the Everglades or Clearwater would be money better spent

we went to both last year second time at medievil times and first at arabian nights. i would say without a doubt that we would not go back to arabian nights but medievil times on the other hand definately.

I saw Arabian Knights in 2001 free with Virgin and thought it was dreadful, it was very amaturish, boring, and it was absolutely FREEZING in there. I saw Medieval in 2002 and it was brilliant we are seeing it again this year, also Pirates dinner show we saw in 2000 and really enjoyed that was well, actually my DS did not want to see it but i think he enjoyed it more than myself and my GD, he really joined in standing up and shouting, cheering our pirates on etc, we are also seeing that this year.

We saw Medieval Times in 1999 and Arabian Nights in 2002.

Out of the 2 we actually preferred AN, must be the only people who actually did!!

We will be trying Dixie Stampede this time and a Magic dinner show on I Drive, not sure which one yet. There's one at Skull Kingdom and Wonder Works, think there may be another one somewhere also.

Any recommendations of Magic Shows??:D

Might Arabian nights be better if you only paid 25 dollars/adult including the 7% for Uncle sam and his florida brother.
Available without difficulty and no timeshare rubbish.
Just ignore the holiday reps and ignore the 5 dollar off coupons and book with a respectable looking tickt seller.
