| ORLANDO, STILL THE
BEST SHOW IN TOWN |
| Families tired out at the end of the day from trailing around the attractions sometimes collapse in front of their hotel room TV and miss out on attractions that have recently developed: the dinner show. |
|
If you're heading for one, you'll better like horses; the most popular are Arabian Nights, the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede and long-established Medieval Times in that order. Arabian Nights is one-of-a kind (800-553-6116 www.arabian-nights.com). The owner declines to franchise his tribute to the Arabian horse and has put all his affection for them into a show about a princess in love that will particularly captivate little girls. Dolly's show, on the other hand, is like Dolly Parton, herself: brassy, enthusiastic, fun. |

If all this sounds too busy for the end of the day, consider Sleuth's Mystery Dinner Show (407-363-1985 www.sleuths.com). You'll be sitting down and you have to eat somewhere so why not let the kids play detective and watch this show? At first it seems kitsch even labored but the fun starts halfway through when the play is over and the audience has to solve the murder. Given a choice, go for a performance with college students amongst the audience. Their repartee and joking sure augment the fun and that's what Orlando's all about. Orlando (407-363-5872 www.orlandoinfo.com) has become expensive. Take the kids to the immense McDonalds in the shape of a serving of French fries on Sand Lake Road just north of the Peabody Hotel, it's an entertainment complex in itself. Don't be too stuffy to pick up brochures you see at the airport and in restaurant lobbies. Most attractions have discount coupons in them. |
