Family-friendly and full of excitement, Pirates Dinner Adventure is a must-see dinner show for children and adults alike. Set sail with the cast of entertainers, acrobats, and cutthroats as they chart a course through danger and romance. Sword fights, songs, sea monsters, and a captain’s feast — no other Orlando dinner show packs so much entertainment into a single evening. Look no further for fun things to do. Pirates Dinner Adventure has it all and more!

The Story:
It is the eve of the Governor's Gala, held each year to celebrate the defeat of the evil pirate captain Sebastian the Black. You have been invited by the governor's daughter, Princess Anita, to meet this year's guest of honor: a magical mermaid! Behold the mermaid's legendary jewel, the Serpent's Eye, which holds the power to summon a terrifying leviathan up from the dark depths of the ocean.

Then, without warning, pirates attack! Sebastian The Black has returned to take his revenge! With his band of pirates, he kidnaps guests, the princess, and the mermaid, and takes everyone prisoner on his ship, heading to parts unknown. Enjoy a final meal as the brave sailor Benjamin Blue fights to defeat the evil pirates before they can lay claim to the jewel and bring forth the dreaded leviathan waiting at the bottom of the sea.

The main theater is comprised of tiered seating for up to 700 guests, and the venue is available for private group events and functions. Renowned for more than a decade in the dinner theater industry for exemplary service, facilities, and first-class entertainment, the Orlando venue is ideally situated one block from world-famous International Drive and within a 15-minute drive to area attractions, Orlando International Airport, the Orange County Convention Center, and downtown Orlando. The theater is also located about 25 min. north of Kissimmee, Florida.

"Fantastic Show!"
November 2021
This is a great family adventure. This was our second time there and every bit as enjoyable as the first time! Parking is close to the entrance and the location is very easy to find.

"Worth Every Penny and Then Some"
January 2019
This was the highlight of our trip and an amazing value. Unlimited appetizers three course meal with drinks included and an amazing show. It was really our favorite part of our trip. We had a blast and all of the staff made it a magical experience. The show is so amazing I really can't say enough about it. Singing, dancing, acrobatics and pirotechnics :-)

"Save Your Money"
September 2018
I would not recommend coming here at all. If you go at least only do the sales, do not pay full price. There are plenty of other dinner shows in the area that are so much better. We had an amazing experience here before the remodel, they must be under new management and or ownership.

When entering, the woman who checked us in was very nice. Taking the pictures was fun but when we purchased the booklet the pictures were extremely elongated and they are the same way on the online download code. When spending $40 on the pictures it would be nice to have the option of having them as a standard size.

When going to our table we had no one to guide us. Any show I have ever gone to there are attendants who guide you to your seat or at least are at the entrance of the stage and point it out to you. Juggling four children in a crowd to find your seats is a little challenging.

We found are seats and sat down, there was not enough setware for us. When we finally saw our server we only had an option of coke or water. Considering this is a show targeted for young children you would think they would offer a non caffeinated flavored beverage. I asked for a drink menu and after 15 minutes when we finally saw our server, I asked again. I was told that the bartenders have to take our order and give us the menu, that he should have came by already. After another 20 minutes the server asked if a bartender came by and he had not. I let him know that I was no longer worried about it.

After 45 minutes the bartender finally came and said, “So you want a drink”. He would not even make eye contact with me and acted like I was bothering him? I declined to get a drink after waiting so long. After this, the server came up to me and confronted me about not getting a drink from the bartender and wanted to know why??? In addition, you pour your own drinks and have a pitcher just sitting at your table. If I have a server I expect to be served, not have a food runner(especially if they expect us to tip after the dinner show. The server was only to be found when bringing out food.

The food was very small portioned and disgusting. The salad was completely soggy, not fresh. All the food came lukewarm and was hardly edible. The adult chicken was slimy and the childrens chicken nuggets were rubbery and tasted like salt, as well as tasted like they were microwaved. The food did not come at the same time for everyone. People received entrees in front of us and 20 minutes later we received ours. Yet the food was sitting stacked up on server trays?

I hate to touch on the act itself because I know the cast must work very hard but this new cast was nothing like the old cast, it lacked the wow factor. You could tell they were struggling, sometimes they just seemed the lack to care. It came across very rehearsed and did not flow smoothly, very forced. They just did not have the same skills as the previous cast. The last 30 minutes they had lost the crowd completely, everyone seemed over it. Maybe over time they will find their flow.

When the show was over they had us exit in the back where you end up straight into the parking lot? They had multiple service trays on the stairs with bus tubs filled with dirty dishes that you had to maneuver around( fire code violation). They had all the lights on and were immediately setting up for the next show, taking things apart, putting things back, everyone starting to act out of character; taking away the magic. Why not wait till the guest leave? We did not purchase items in the gift shop before the show since we assumed we would be able to after the show.

Running a business, I would want to ensure repeat business; especially in Orlando when there are so many other options. I would want my bartenders hustling, pushing drinks out. I would want my servers attending to the guests. I would want some of my cast interacting with the guest after the show, building relationships. I would want people exiting through the gift shop to possibly obtain sales.

To be a dinner show you need to not only have a great act but the food to match. Being in the service industry I know what service should be provided and this place is completely lacking. It all falls down to poor management. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

"The food is horrible"
September 2018
My wife and I went to the Sept. 7th 2018 show at 7:30 pm. The first thing you should know is they charge six dollars for parking. The show was entertaining for children. The food was horrible. The salad was soggy lettuce. The chicken was boiled chicken I think with a brown gravy from a can that tasted like a tin can and the dessert was two tiny pieces of frozen cake. My wife and I took about three bites of the food and my wife actually began to feel sick. Half way through the show we got up and I did speak to carlos the manager who offered to give us free tickets to another show. My wife and I both declined this. I would not even go back to this show for free.

Tip: Eat before you go and bring $6 with you for parking.

"Show is great customer service needs work!"
April 2017
You are greeted with a large crowd waiting in line, of course understandable. The individual managing seems slightly agitated, with customer questions I get it. We move in the waiting area, waiting to be seated. The server was pleasant but time management could be better. The bathroom is over flooded at the end of the show. Your're herded out. So while waiting for your family members in a different area of the establishment, you're then told you need to move out of the area because there is another show. Yet again understandable but the delivery is poor. I know. The individual tried to single my family out when there were clearly other families in the area also. I'm sure my words are just words on a page, and nothing will be done.

"Great family fun."
March 2017
What a show! The cast gave a full out performance even though we didn't have a lot of people, this by no means is a reflection on the show, just the date we went. My family had a great time (all six of us) as we cheered on the Best Pirate of all time "Cut-throat Jack". The show was a lot of fun with many laughs due to the comedy abilities of the actors who played "Mr. McGee and Saxon". The Singing abilities of the cast were great and the amazing silk work by the "Golden Gyps" left us all speechless. You can tell this small cast and crew work great together. My son had a great time getting autographs for everyone on the cast and when it looked like we wouldn't get everyone "Treasure" made sure he got the last one we needed. I can not thank the cast for being so accommodating to a young fan. I look forward to seeing this show again on our next trip to Orlando. (Show was on 3/8/17 at 1930).

"4 and 1/2 stars"
November 2016
This show is SO much fun! My husband, myself and our 3 boys (ages6-12) loved this experience. We watch the Vampirates show on Halloween night 2016. I'm actually giving this 4 and a half stars because the appetizers were really only more of a sample and our main course, the pot roast, wasn't very good at all, though, our younger guys did enjoy the chicken nuggets and Mac n Cheese and not one of us tried the chicken quarter so I have no comment for that but you are served soup or salad before and a dessert at the end of the meal and it along with the sides are all very good and served during the show. It's very interactive and the audience gets really involved with games and such, it's all very exciting and the kids and adults all get the chance to join in on the ship with the characters.

Tip: They sing and dance and do an amazing job, tip them!
