Pirates Dinner Adventure

BE A PIRATE AND BOND WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY AT PIRATE’S DINNER ADVENTURE IN ORLANDO

Who doesn’t want to live the pirate’s life – if only for one night?  At every show at Pirate’s Dinner Adventure in Orlando, more than 100 guests are invited to don costumes and participate in the piratical fun.  Renowned as “the world’s most interactive dinner show experience,” Pirate’s Dinner Adventure is a place where life-long memories are made.

In 1996, Pirate’s Dinner Adventure opened in Orlando as the first venue of its kind with gallant pirates, playful pranks, and dynamic dining that captivated audiences of all ages. More than a decade later, the attraction is truly battened down, having served millions of guests from around the world. 

Unlike the pirates of yore who wreaked havoc and destruction, these 21st century pirates have just one mission: entertainment.  Guests are transported back to the 1800’s with the help of their own pirate mascot, such as the powerful Andre Baptiste, the “orange pirate,” or the romantic and protective Benjamin, the “blue pirate.”  Cannon blasts, pyrotechnics and a liberal dose of wit and wizardry bring the audience “aboard” an authentic pirate ship.

Set on an authentic replica of an 18th century Spanish galleon with a 40-foot mast, the show features daredevil pirates, dancers and a princess.  The actors perform feats of aerial artistry, swashbuckling swordplay and dynamic duals.  Anchored in a 300,000-gallon indoor lagoon, this action-packed theater-in-the-round dining experience bestows children and adults the opportunity to be part of the action.  Lads, lasses and scallywags of all ages don costumes and row dinghies in a decisive pirate race around the lagoon and board the galleon to brave the dastardly Sebastian the Black and his men.

Pirate’s Dinner Adventure not only serves up action and adventure, but also a four-course spread to satisfy the heartiest of appetites.  In addition to complimentary appetizers served as part of the King’s Festival, the feast includes homemade soup or salad, plus dinner options including a delicious seasoned boneless breast of chicken, tender roast pork or garlic shrimp with lobster pieces, along with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, and Caribbean rice, topped off two dessert options:  warm apple cobbler a la mode or profiterole pastries with ice cream. Complimentary beer, wine, coffee or soft drinks are included during the meal (vegetarian and “Captain Kid’s” meals are available upon request).

After dinner and a climatic pirate battle, guests are invited to meet the stars of the show and “get up close and personal” with the cast for photos and autographs.  And, the fun doesn’t stop there!  With each paid admission, Pirate’s Dinner Adventure includes a complimentary Buccaneer Bash Dance Party after the last show of the evening.  The disco party zone features a DJ, newly enhanced sound and lighting systems, and dancing to a wide variety of music.  

In addition to delighting local and vacationing families, the dinner attraction offers an ideal “turnkey,” experiential dining and entertainment venue for groups of all sizes and types, from corporate, tour and school groups, to family reunions and birthday parties.
Guests can upgrade to the Governor’s VIP Lounge, offering a luxury-class level of service.  They gain access to a 3,000-square-foot private reception area decked-out to resemble the great hall of an 18th century governor’s mansion, where they will enjoy upgraded pre-show appetizers, refresh at two private full-service bar and view the pre-show through either a giant window.  VIP guests also gain early access into the main show area before the general public, enjoy front row seating for the main show and have a one-on-one photo opportunity with a cast member.  The pricing for this upgrade is $25 per person with admission.  Guests of the Governor can also opt to upgrade their entree to a seafood platter (lobster tail, salmon and shrimp) or an 8-ounce filet mignon for an additional charge. The Governor’s VIP Lounge is available to individual guests when private events are not enjoying the Lounge.  Seating is limited to 64 guests, on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

The Orlando venue served as a prototype for brand expansion.  A second Pirate’s Dinner Adventure opened in December 2005 in Buena Park, California.  The two dinner shows entertain a combined 700,000 guests annually.

Says General Manager Michael Mack, “In our show there is a song that says ‘a pirate’s life is destiny.’  Similarly, our entire team of managers, sales associates, cast and crew are dedicated to delivering a high-quality dinner show experience.  We owe our success to the millions of guests from around the world who have visited our Broadway-style show during the last 11 years.”
