When booking the Hoop De Doo Musical Review, my husband and I were skeptical as we were traveling with out 14 month old and didn't know how she would do. But we are SO glad we decided on this choice because it was amazing!! The show itself was hysterical and we could not stop laughing! The food was great as well! The corn bread with the sweet butter was to die for (so much we got a second loaf)! The chicken was nice and crispy - but the breasts were a little bit dry. The ribs had a yummy sauce and fell off the bone! All of the sides were great too - the beans, mashed potatoes and mac n' cheese! But do not get me started on that strawberry shortcake - YUM!! Probably the best I've ever had!! Our toddler actually ended sleeping through the entire show (minus dinner) and we were right in front of the stage so it was nice and loud but I guess she was tired! Overall, it was a phenomenal experience and even though it can be a little pricey, we thought for the food and dinner show it was well worth it!

We really enjoyed the Mystery Sleuths Dinner theater and our table mates were fabulous! If you ever wanted to try something new, Orlando will deliver the best first experience! We actually decided to add this to our trip last minute and it looked booked online but we called and were able to reserve 2 hours before arrival time! Lots of fun, good acting, funny, and great for the whole family! The prime rib was delicious and Julie was an excellent server throughout.

As a visitor to the Orlando area, I wanted to spend an evening enjoying a local dinner show. After an exhausting search, I found this gem that seemed just what I was looking for. The venue included dinner consisting of 3 entre choices of chicken, pork loin, or pasta. Our salad, chicken and dessert were exceptional--much better than we expected. The alcoholic drinks were pricey but the ice tea, coffee and soft drinks were included. The show was absolutely fabulous. The talented performers made this variety show something totally worthwhile. The acts included singers, dancers, comedians, acrobats, animal acts, quick change artists, aerial acts, hula hoop manipulation and other talented performers. Many of the acts could have easily been AGT quality. The hour and a half show was without a doubt the highlight of my visit to Orlando. As it turned out, I was able to use a Groupon which made the experience even sweeter. $8 parking is separate and added to each reservation. After the show, the guests are invited to another room to the JEWEL Speakeasy music bar for drinks, piano entertainment and for what appeared to be casino tables. We did not stay for this experience. If a variety of entertainment by talented performers is what you are looking for, by all means make a dinner reservation.

This is the 3rd time we visited Cirque by Night since it reopened. Each time we go we are treated like family. The general manager Joel was very kind to us and Astrid and Gertie are excellent servers AND entertainers. You get to see great entertainment and talk to your servers. It’s a very comfortable place and each seat is the best. The stage goes up and down so you can see all the action no matter where you sit The food choices are great. We had the chicken, pork& shrimp. In the past we upgraded to the steak and salmon. But the main choices were absolutely fine. Soda is included. There is an amazing array for adult beverages to choose from. The acts are top notch and all I can say is amazing. The whole evening is filled with intrigue and some leave you sitting in the edge of your seat

My husband and I really enjoyed our first experience at the Spirt of Aloha dinner show. We paid for tier 1 seating and ended up front row, center. I was worried about the shared seating, but we were sat at a 4-top table for just the two of us! Our waitress, cousin Crystal, was amazing and attentive. She was constantly bringing drinks (quite opposite of many reviews which claim to never see their waitress after the initial greeting). Alcoholic drinks included were limited beer and wine, however, my beers had to be in at least 16oz huge cups and the wine pours were WAY more than a standard 5oz pour. Very pleased with the complimentary options! Food was “fine”. Not terrible, not great, but got the job done. Besides, we were here for the show! Which, by the way, we found very entertaining. There was a story line, but it was not nearly as campy as many make it out to be. It was nice how the show incorporated the story line with giving a reason for showing all the traditional dances. Would highly recommend this experience, especially the 8:15 show when it was dark out, which added to the overall atmosphere.

The Pirate Dinner Adventure is fun for the whole family!!! Its not gourmet food by any means, but its good basic food and fun! Each section has their “own” color and “Pirate” that they are rooting for! There is alot of audience participation, which is great!! Dress code is casual, there is a gift shop to buy all that pirate “booty”, there are princesses, explosions, music, acrobatics, and fun! Make sure you get there extra early for the pre- show hors d’oeuvres, and stay after for the fun dance party!!! We had a amazing time!!!
