Arabian Nights: The American Princess Dinner Show Review – #VisitKiss

I received an all expenses paid trip to Florida to attend the Decade of Memories Event from Experience Kissimmee. No monetary compensation has been received and all thoughts expressed are my own.

Ever since I was about twelve years old I have wanted to see a dinner show. My cousin had went to the Medieval Times dinner show in Los Angeles and talked so much about it, she had me jealous that I didn’t get to go with her. For the last few years I have been tempted to take my kids to one of these dinner shows, but unfortunately they don’t have these types of shows here in the Sacramento area.

Last month during my trip to Kissimmee, Florida I had the opportunity to finally attend a dinner show. It wasn’t the dinner show like my cousin once went to, but maybe one even better.  I attended the Arabian Nights: The American Princess dinner show with a group of fellow bloggers and thought the show was very entertaining.

While there are plenty of restaurants in my area, none of them have a show that you can watch with beautiful horses that are trained to give you quite the performance. Arabian Night’s current show, The American Princess is a lighthearted tale of both adventure and romance. Here is the plot of the show:

On her 21st birthday, an all-American girl and champion rider discovers that 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.

During the show you will see plenty of entertainment. You will watch the princess and Abracadabra visit Europe, then Latin America. You will then see her visit a Gypsy camp where you will see some really cool acrobatics on the horses.

I enjoyed the entire show, but my favorite part of the show would have to be when the princess visits the world of Imagination to see the beautiful and magical unicorn.

I don’t want to tell you about the whole show because I recommend seeing it in person. If you are one that enjoys horses, this definitely would be something you want to see if you are ever in Kissimmee, FL.

I was pretty amazed with now not only the actor and actresses in this show, but the horses too! It has been a long time since I rode a horse. I couldn’t imagine standing on one while it is running around the arena. I even seen one of the actors jump from one horse and land on another. I also seen that same guy ride a horse and jump through a ring of fire and land back on the horse, pretty amazing stuff!

When it comes to the dinner part of the show,  you are given a menu of a few different choices. On our menu was pot roast, pulled pork, chicken tenders, chicken alfredo and chicken marsala. I am a fan of pulled pork, so when I seen it on the menu, I knew what I was going to choose. After dinner you are given some dessert too!

When you visit Arabian Nights, you have a few different options for the show. There is General Admission, The VIP Experience and The Royale Table. Our group got The VIP Experience that has the following benefits:

• Seating in the first three rows
• Dining selections from the Genie Menu
• Early entrance and access to the arena
• Sneak peek stable tour
• Pre-show activities for our youngest guests
• VIP posters and stickers

Since I brought my camera, I was really excited to get to go back in the stables to take some pictures of the horses. I not only got pictures of the horses, I was able to get a couple pictures the actors and the horses and even me with them!

Had I known that this guy in the red was one of the main actors in the show that has a ton of talent, I would have got a better picture with him. Here is a blurry picture that was taken with my iPhone.
