We enjoyed Medieval Times when we went there, but we feel that other dinner-show attractions are much better. In particular, Arabian Nights and Pirates Dinner Adventure. So, see those first, then if you still have time & money to do more shows, go to Medieval Times.
Medieval Times was the first of the full-blown "dinner show attractions" to open here in central FL - and they're possibly the largest. The show is very well done, and the horses and riders are quite entertaining to watch.
Food is good, about average for this sort of venue. One 'warning' -- some people are caught by surprise by this, but you do NOT get any silverware here! (After all, we're back in medieval days, right?) We didn't find that to be a problem at all - the food is all such that you can eat it without silverware & it just adds to the overall atmosphere & gets you in the spirit of the "medieval times" -- but we did hear a few people around us expressing displeasure at the lack of silverware. Beer & wine served if you want them, otherwise regular non-alcoholic beverages.
This is NOT the best place to go for handicapped people though. My husband is strictly confined to a wheelchair. To get to the seating area for the show, we had to go to the 'second floor' in a sense. There is no elevator. The looooong inclined pathway up to the main arena entrance became quite difficult for us by the time we finally got to the top. The incline might not seem excessively steep to someone who is walking, but anyone in a wheelchair knows that going up any kind of incline for a long stretch can become very tiring. (The reverse was true coming out - trying to keep hold of the chair to keep it from catapulting down the incline wasn't particularly easy or fun...)
The seating for wheelchairs was at the very top, very rear row on one far end of the oval arena so we were as far away from the 'stage' as it was possible to be & in a somewhat awkward viewing angle also. We were told that this was the ONLY spot in the entire arena that a wheelchair could be put. It was slightly frustrating, as the show wasn't full the night we went, and there were plenty of empty seats in much better locations, but we had no choice at all as to where we wanted to sit, because of being in a wheelchair.
Other than that, we had a good time though. There was no pre-show, but there is a bar & you can get drinks before the show - I think they had snacks too.
Prices for all the dinner show attractions around here are app. the same. Somewhere around $50 a person for adults is what you'll pay at any of them.
All in all, Medieval Times is a good show & good dinner ---- but I feel that the shows at Pirates and Arabian Nights are much much better, both in terms of the 'storyline/plot' of the show and the caliber of the entertainers - spend your money there first!

We got a annual membership last year. We definitely got our moneys worth out of it. We would go at least one time a week and let the kids play. They would ride the horse and the train and play on their playgrounds. It is very clean. They have real bathrooms and running water stations for. There is also antibacterial hand gel at every station and its use is encouraged. This is a great place for the kids to blow off some energy in a controlled environment.

The staff is very knowledgeable and adhere to the ideals of the royal dance academy. This can mean the instructors are strict, but they get great results from the students. This is the only dance studio in the area that has classes for under 3 year old children. The only down side to the studio is its not well ventilated and sometimes it gets very hot and stuffy in the rooms.

Our outting with Boggy Creek Airboats was the first time that either of us had been on an airboat - what an incredible thrill it was!!!
You get to see true native Florida on an airboat tour like this -- we spotted several gators, numerous egrets, herons, and other native animals. Although airboats are quite loud (they give you ear protection when you ride), it was still one of the most enjoyable outdoor adventures we have ever had!
My husband is confined to a wheelchair, so we were understandably concerned whether he would be able to ride or not. But we had been given free passes for an airboat tour, so we went out to Boggy Creek's location, just to see if it was possible for him to ride. The guys that were handling the airboats that day were amazing - they went out of their way to help us out, and made sure that my husband got on the boat safely and securely, and that he was able to enjoy himself just like anyone else. We cannot praise these guys enough for the extra efforts they took on my husband's behalf! It was an exciting adventure for him, that he would have missed out on, if these men hadn't gone through some excessive efforts to help him out!

Face painting, Balloon animals, Clown magic and games- a great party entertainment so mom/ dad don't have to do it all! Well liked by everyone that attended the party. Even the ones that were scared by a clown at first. She was extreemly personable, prompt anbd professional. She is a teacher in her other life and brings her knowledge of children to her clown duties.

How to write a review for Walt Disney World?? It's almost impossible to put into words. There's literally something for everyone--from the smallest child to the most sophisticated world traveler. From Mickey Mouse to elegant fine dining, you'll find it all at Walt Disney World.
The Magic Kingdom is, of course, where it all began. This park is a fantasy world with fun for the whole family. Must sees on your first visit--"it's a small world", Space Mountain, The Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan's Flight, and the "Wishes" fireworks show.
Epcot is my favorite park--especially during the Food and Wine Festival in the fall or at Christmastime (don't miss the Candlelight Processional). I love to travel around the world, trying different food and wine, shopping for exotic gifts and enjoying the sights and sounds of different languages and cultures. Our family also enjoys The Land Pavilion and Soarin', The Living Seas, Spaceship Earth and Test Track. Epcot is also fantastic for New Year's Eve.
Animal Kingdom is a good park--especially if you like animals. As they say, "its not a zoo" though and has some great rides for everyone.
MGM Studios is great and our kids really love it for the Stunt Show and Playhouse Disney. We love it for the Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller coaster. The food choices seem to be limited here. Fantasmic is scary for the little ones.
Of course, a short review cannot possibly cover the all there is to see and do in the Disney parks much less the many other features of the water parks, Downtown Disney, resorts, outdoor activities, etc.
We think that Disney provides a great, clean, wholesome atmosphere for our family. We also enjoy the excellent dining experiences (make reservations well in advance) and special events going on continually throughout the year.

This art gallery features a large selection of Wyland paintings and a few sculptures as well. This use of color and creativity is amazing. Most of his works focus on ocean scenes and marine animals such as dolphins and whales. His attention to detail is fantastic. The staff at this store is very nice and knowable about his works.

While it could be a little cleaner, and the girls taking orders could be much friendlier and/or helpful, the food is great. Having had a difficult time finding good Chinese food for years, it was a welcome pleasure to have Lin Garden Chinese restaurant come to town. A welcomed pleasure.
