Tis the season for Holiday fun at Pirates Dinner Adventure

Back by popular demand, the swashbuckling holiday version of “The World’s Most Interactive Dinner Show”
sets sail on November 1
Returning for an encore engagement after last year’s successful launch, Pirate’s Christmas Dinner Adventure sets sail on the merriest holiday adventure on the high seas this November. The infamous band of buccaneers, cast and crew of Pirate’s Dinner Adventure will celebrate the season with a holiday version of their popular nighttime theatrical experience, renowned as the “World’s Most Interactive Dinner Show.” From November 1 through January 6, Pirate’s Christmas Dinner Adventure features an exciting holiday story line, spectacular sets, seasonal music, and a shipload of yuletide surprises throughout the show. Even St. Nick is on hand for photos, fresh from his journey from the North Pole.

The entire Pirate’s Dinner Adventure Theatre will be decked out in true pirate fashion with a frosty twist for this swashbuckling holiday celebration. This family-friendly holiday experience kicks off in the pre-show area where a Live Nativity scene will feature live cuddly barnyard animals. In the village square the festivities continue with brightly colored garlands, snowmen, holiday trimmings and music, plus complimentary appetizers for guests.

The Christmas story begins during the pre-show as the evil Magistrate tries to halt the holiday festivities, the princess is captured, and Magee the Elf -- a pirate wannabe -- is called on to save the day. Jack Frost has come to town as a spectacular wintry scene greets guests entering the theatre in the round. Anchored in a 300,000-gallon indoor lagoon, and appearing frozen in time, sits an authentic replica of an 18th century Spanish galleon with a 40-foot mast. Icebergs surround the ship, icicles hang from her bow to stern, and snow blankets huge sections of the deck. The audience is swept up in a, cold winter’s eve as dramatic lighting bathes the entire scene in a chilling white light, as snow gently falls from the sky.

Led by one of six Pirates, guests go back in time to the 1800’s as pirates dazzle, thrill, and entertain with spectacularly choreographed swordplay, aerial artistry, and dynamic duals. Magee the elf transforms into a pirate in a thrilling, heroic effort to save both Christmas and the Princess.

From “pass the fruit cake” to “holiday gift toss,” Pirate team leaders enlist guests to join the fun in thrilling head-to-head competitions pitting one audience group against another. Over 150 guests each night will find themselves in the middle of the show as they don costumes and join the pirate action. A crowd-pleasing tradition established in last year’s holiday show, youngsters will again have the opportunity to join the March of the Toy Soldiers and help Magee save Christmas. The show ends will a spectacular, pyrotechnics-filled, audience-involving celebration guaranteed to raise the roof.

The merriment continues in the post-show area, where guests can mingle with the swashbuckling stars of this holiday celebration. And after the last performance of the evening, guests can party like a pirate at the Buccaneer Bash Dance party, included with each paid admission. The high-energy DJ disco party features a state-of-the-art sound and special effects system and dancing to a wide variety of music.

Pirate’s Christmas Dinner Adventure serves up festive fare, beginning with complimentary appetizers during the pre-show, and continuing with a hearty four-course feast. Guests can select traditional favorites including roasted breast of turkey, sliced pork loin with mushroom gravy, and shrimp in a delicious seasonal sauce, served with steamed vegetables plus roasted potatoes or Caribbean rice. Dessert is a warm apple cobbler alamode or profiterole pastries with vanilla ice cream. Complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks are included during dinner. Vegetarian and “Captain Kid’s” meals are available upon request.

Those in search of even more piratical fun during the holidays can navigate their crew over to The Florida Mall, where Pirate’s Christmas Dinner Adventure is a sponsor of Santa. Pirates will invade the mall when Santa arrives at 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 10th. A special discount for mall guests will be available throughout the holidays in Santa’s meet-and-greet/photo area.
