I really do not know why there are bad reviews about this place. For the price, we had a wonderful time and the dinner was not bad at all. The show was absoutly fantastic and the horses and riders were amazing to say the least. If you love a Vegas type night out and want to bring the kids, this is a place to go in the evening in Orlando! We did the VIP Tour and were able to go behind the scenes and meet the performers and have our kid's pictures taken on a few of their horses. It seems that the other reviews are from people who want champagne for beer! We will definatly return again!!! And did I mention the Unlimited beer and wine!!!

Okay so you're told to arrive 60-90 min prior to the show, not sure why since all you do is stand in a large room with 500 people and buy drinks at the bar. Then again that should've been my first inclination of how they try to sell sell sell. Afterwards, we were allowed to enter and sit down. Not much help there as their were other people in our seats that had to be moved, not their fault just poor planning on the part of AN. Our poor waiter took our salad to bring new ones because he didn't want to serve it after someone else had sat there, problem was he was sooo busy he forgot to bring new ones until 30 min later. The steak was very small, my husband said his was ok but mine was really dry and luke warm. Mashed potatoes were okay, for sure from a box. The "mixed veggies" consisted of a heated up package of veg-all. I was horrified because they charge something like $58.00 Per Person & this is what they expect you to eat. Was "passed " a small basket of cold rolls from the people sittting next to us, can you say unsanitary. Then, they come around during the show to try and sell pictures, with a flashlight as it is dark, that they made you take when you arrived. The only thing this place has going for it is that they had one guy that seemed to be very talented, I would love to tell him where he could find a better gig. And the horses were just beautiful! We left before the show was over, I felt very bad for our waiter but I couldn't sink another dime into this poor excuse for a night out with my family so I did not leave a tip. I know, I should have but I just felt so taken advantage of. Please do not go here unless you like to overspend and get very little in return. I do plan to write a detailed letter to management for whatever that is worth.

Should have gone to Medieval Times Instead

We were planning to go to Medieval Times where the show is awesome and the food is fantastic. Instead and against my 10 year old daughters vehement protest, we were talked into going to Arabian Nights by a Timesharing vendor who warned us that the food was mediocre but the show was guaranteed to be the BEST. I felt sooooo bad for not listening to my 10 year old and taking the vendor's advice instead. It was a huge mistake to say the least. First of all on Sundays, there is only one show which starts at 6:30p. We rushed from Blizzard Beach to make it there on time. It has no where near the atmosphere that you will find at Medieval Times. Like someone else wrote, it looked like an unfinished warehouse. The show was not impressive AT ALL. The food was terrible and the steaks are only cooked one way. My advice: go to Medieval Times. I repeat: the show is fabulous and the food is some of the best I've ever eaten. Arabian Nights is a big waste of time and money.

After being herded into the waiting area we waited. Don't get there until about 8:00pm, unless you want to have some drinks. I was sort of bummed out about the waiting area but... after moving into the show area & seeing the show I was pleased. The food was just okay but the show made up for it. A Tip: go online & buy the discount tickets for almost all attractions. Just wish there would have been more light to take pictures. At the end of the show you can walk up and see the horse's (and touch them, great for the kids)& riders. The show performers were also available to meet back in the herding area afterwords.

I wish I had read the reviews before going to this waste of time and money. What a rip-off eating in the dark was not a good experience, having to use light from modile phone to eat by was novel, but not nice. Show was poor and very short biggest mistake we have made in all the years we have visted Florida!
