I was expecting an Arabian Romantic Story with wonderful horsemanship. NOT It began as a western, then some Arabian content and story line was awful, then back to western, it kept flip flopping between the two. If I had wanted Western I would have went to the Dixie Stampede. Some of the riding was interesting, the black stallion sene, walk in the desert, was ok. But the ever switching between Western and Arabian story, was distracting and irritating. The food was nothing to write about, the dinner rolls were the best part of the meal. My wife and I left about an hour into the show along with several other couples, we chatted outside about how the web site hyped up the Romantic Storyline that just never delivered. The only thing good about the VIP admission was better seating. Would recommend you Runaway, quickly. Spend your money on the many other things to do in Orlando. Pros: Cool Black Stallion Cons: Dinner, Show, Everything else

There are certain things in this world that you can justifiably and reliably judge people's QUALITY OF TASTE and SENSE OF GOOD VALUE on based on their opinion of it. For example: if someone tells you that "Alien Vs. Predator" is one of their all-time favorite movies, you can reliably make the judgment call that that person has horrendous taste in movies, as well as zero sense of valuation of what separates a good movie experience from cinematic defecation. Arabian Nights is the kind of place that you can make this kind of judgment call about others. It is Dinner Show defecation. Consider this: it costs almost as much to get into any Orlando theme park as it does to attend an Arabian Nights show. Therefore, when it comes to VALUE and TASTE, Arabian Nights ought to deliver FOOD and EXPERIENCE worthy to rival an entire day at one of Orlando's quality theme parks. Strangely enough, there are reviews of Arabian Nights that say "You're not going for the food! You're going for the experience!" Since when is the food in a "Dinner Show" NOT part of the experience? I'll cut to the chase... I'm an Orlando native, so I've experienced much of the good and bad that this city has to offer. And Arabian nights is pretty much the WORST. The food and the show are torture -- torture that I paid theme-park-sized money to experience. Insulted and disgusted, I and my entire family left within 90 minutes after it started. At least 3 other couples or groups were leaving at the same time, muttering swear words under their breath as they described their experience. I must also note that servers (ours was NOT the least bit friendly nor helpful) make it perfectly clear that they expect a generous tip from you. It's like your teenage kid sloppily rushing his daily household chores, while constantly whining that he fully expects you to give him $50 after he's done doing all this "incredibly hard work". Tourists, STAY AWAY!! Orlando has SO MUCH BETTER TO OFFER!! Pros: If you enjoy paying the price of a theme-park admission for horrible dinner and a pathetic show, then there is ONE pro Cons: food, show, price, service, fascilities, costumes, dialog, actors, horses, etc.

I have been going to Arabian Knights for the past 5 years in a row with my husband (in the beginning he was my fiance, and he introduced this experience to me, hence we fell in love), we now have 2 kids, and they love it as well....it is wonderful. Anyone who thinks otherwise has to do a self evaluation of themselves. You can purchase tickets half price at Billy Bob's tickets in Kissimmee...so you cannot complain about the price--ever....and you are not paying for the food, you are paying for the experience.....the food is ok...it is not a 5 star menu, but it is enjoyable. We always get the prime rib. Definitely worth going once, WITH AN OPEN MIND, and in a good mood...some of the people who have written reviews on Arabian Knights I beleive should just stay home!!!!!

Being natives, the only reason we even considered heading out to Arabian Knights was because I scored some free tickets. From the minute we walked in the door we couldn't stop laughing at how the decor and the staff all screamed tourist trap. The show was horrid and the food was only moderately better. We figured that the only reason they're still in business is because they don't depend on repeat customers, only first-time suckers.

Food was not very good and there was not much of it. Granted, it is hard to serve that many people at same time and serve quality, hot food. Dessert was a very small piece of cake, not moist! Recommended tip- $5 for each adult was based on total price of ticket for show and food - it should be based on value of the meal - about $15 tops- ! The show was good, although it seemed to just drag out at times. At $50 per person it was overpriced. If we drank alchohol I guess we could have gotten our money's worth. Pros: good parking, all seats are good, child loved show!! Cons: Food not very good

I recently returned for the 4th time to see the show at Arabian Nights with my kids. I was totally amazed and captivated at the wonderful changes in the show that wrapped me in the magic that has always been enjoyed at Arabian Nights. Even though the show captivated me and I often ignored the wonderful meal in front of me, the excellent food became a distraction from the wonderful show. I have to take my hat off to the servers, for they were right there with soda and rolls, and despite the hectic pace they kept, they served with a smile. Bravo Arabian Nights. Once again you have enchanted our family. We will be back for Christmas with the family for sure! Pros: Great Show, Excellent Food, Wonderful Service Cons: bathroom needed TP, crowd in great hall

The show was wonderful! The staff was friendly and helpful. The VIP experience was so nice, I would definitly recommend it to anyone, just being able to sit on the first row made it worth the money!! (Not to mention meeting the riders, horses, taking a stable tour and seeing the Black Stallion face to face) This dinner theatre is perfect for families, dates, or a large group! It was the best two hours I have spent here in Orlando. Pros: well trained horses, talented riders, fun-filled atmosphere

I would personally recommend going to Sleuths Dinner Theater, the food is so much better you'll really enjoy being a part of the show as opposed to just watching the show. It's a very fun time and you'll laugh alot while drinking all the wine,beer and specialty cocktails they have for free. It's a much better bargain in my opinion. Pros: Better Than Home, Horses are pretty Cons: , food is mediocre, staff is HORRIBLE
