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. The feast includes appetizers, salad or vegetable soup, and a dinner offering of chicken and your choice of Pillagers pork or Seafood Medley, along with roasted potatoes and Caribbean rice all topped off with warm apple cobbler a la mode. Two rounds of beer, coffee or soft drinks are included with the meal and 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, sound and special effects system, 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 a private full-service bar and view the pre-show through one-way mirrors. VIP guests also gain early access into the main show area before the general public, enjoy front row seating during the show and have a one-on-one photo opportunity with a cast member. The pricing for this upgrade is $25 per person. Guests can also opt to upgrade their main meal to a seafood platter (lobster tail, salmon and shrimp) or filet mignon for an additional charge. The Governor’s VIP Lounge is available to individual guests when private events are not in session and on a first-come, first-serve basis.
For the months of May and June 2010 Pirate’s Dinner Adventure Orlando is happy to announce a special admission rate of $10 per person for active and retired military personnel when they show valid military ID at the box office. Additional tickets for family and friends may be purchased at ITT offices.
