Themed dining
When you are not exploring the wealth of adventures that Florida has to offer
then it is time to think of eating. Why not combine the two and book for one of
the many theme dining experiences where adventure or new experiences are
combined with the chance to satisfy your appetite. Click on the links to
find out more.
Some examples to try are:
Dolly
Parton’s Dixie Stampede which is well worth a visit and a great source
of entertainment that includes theme dining coupled to a great Florida welcome.
When booking you will be asked whether you support the North (Union) or the
South (Confederates) and will be allocated seats appropriately.
Located 1 mile from the I4 Junction 68.
Kissimmee
Rodeo Held every Friday night this is definitely one for the entire
family. Down to earth Florida at its very best and the ever friendly welcome is
extended to tourists and locals alike. Cowboys/girls take part in an evening of
calf roping, bareback riding, barrel racing, bull riding, and more. The action
is live, unrehearsed, and, for those who've never seen the real thing before, it
is great fun. The meal is of a BBQ style and is a relatively cheap and
entertaining night out.
Located on Hoagland Blvd. Drive east on the 192 towards Kissimmee and turn
right onto Hoagland Blvd and follow the road for about a mile.
NEWS UPDATE: The Kissimmee Rodeo appears to
have ceased operations. Since it was full every time we visited, and there
must be a large number of rodeo riders keen for an outlet, we will monitor this
situation closely. In the meantime one alternative (possibly transient) is
the Silver Spurs Rodeo
at the Osceola Heritage Park.
Arabian
Nights, a spectacular show of horsemanship and stunts for the whole
family. The show is staged in an indoor arena based upon a Moorish theme and
begins with a fairy tale wedding between a Prince and Princess. Trouble for this
marriage comes early but has a predictable happy ending. Dinner is a choice of
Beef, chicken or vegetarian lasagne with fresh vegetables unlimited soft drinks,
house wines and beer.
Located on the 192, just east of the I4
Medieval
Times, based upon the 11th century Spanish knights, kingdoms and
fortresses with a fair sprinkling of fighting, horsemanship, lancing and
feasting. This show is a lot of fun, with a love story thrown between a Princess
and a gallant knight. The four course dinner is delivered by serving wenches and
serfs consisting of bread, hot soup in pewter bowls, chicken, spare rib, potato
and pastry of the Castle. Two rounds of beverages are included with the feast
which is served "medieval style" with a plentiful supply of napkins.
Located on the 192, approximately 6 miles east of the I4 intersection.
There are also a variety of theme dinning, movie theatres, disco’s and night
life at both
Downtown Disney and
Universal’s CityWalk. |
