Talented Horses Take Center Stage at Arabian Nights Orlando

Orlando's Arabian Nights is a dazzling horse and dinner show located near Disney World in Kissimmee, Florida.  The production – named The American Princess – follows the journey of an all-American girl and champion rider who discovers she is actually the Princess Scheherazade.  Along with her genie Abracadabra, Princess Scheherazade takes the audience on a magical journey around the world to find her prince – who must love horses as much as she does.

Upon entering the theater guests are ushered into a long waiting hall where a magic show is performed with much flair. To see the entire magic show and get ideal seats, guests should arrive at The Palace of Horses about an hour before showtime.  The arena floor will host games and activities for children, an optional upgrade to a sneak peek of the Horse Stables will be available and a presentation of various horse breeds used in the show will occur 15 minutes prior to the start of the show. 

Arabian Nights Dinner Show guests are seated thirty minutes prior to show time and are met with the largest arena of any Orlando dinner show. At their seats guests will find a prepared salad and a menu. For the evening guests can choose between Pot Roast on Puff Pastry, Sirloin Steak, Pulled Pork, Roasted Chicken Quarter, Chicken Tenders and Vegetable Lasagna.  Service is prompt and the waiters are attentive so don't hesitate to ask for anything.  I ordered the Pulled Pork and it was savory and satisfying, and the portion was large.  Served with mashed potatoes, vegetables and a roll, the meal was typical dinner show food but definitely filled me up.  The chocolate cake at the end tasted like a Little Debbie  brownie treat, and I mean that in the most positive way.  Drinks packages are available for the show, too.  The Basic Drink Package is $5, and includes unlimited Budweiser beer and California Blush wine. The Premium Drink Package is $15 and includes an unlimited selection of Burgundy wine, Chardonnay, Margaritas, Rum Runners, or our House Hard Lemonade.

The show is made up of many numbers that showcase the talents of the horses and riders. Arabian Nights in Orlando boasts a large number of Arabian horses whose beauty is sure to impress guests. The Gypsy scene, the longest and most talent showcasing scene, has riders performing various acrobatic stunts on horseback. The show also incorporates some contemporary music to make their salutes to America more moving.  The Unicorn Dance and Latin America Horse Dance and Native America segments were real highlights, as was the patriotic American cowboy rides.  

Join Princess Scheherazade for a romantic adventure as she finds travels the world to find her prince.  The talent of the riders and horses is sure to impress.  Before leaving the arena, be sure to pet the horses, meet the riders and take some photos as a keepsake.
