ORLANDO, Fla. (November 1, 2009) – Returning for an encore engagement after sold out performances during the last three years, Pirate’s Christmas Dinner Adventure sets sail again to bring you the merriest holiday adventure ever on the high seas. The infamous band of buccaneers, crew of Pirate’s Dinner Adventure will celebrate the season beginning just after Thanksgiving on November 27th, with a holiday version of their popular nighttime theatrical experience, renowned as the “World’s Most Interactive Dinner Show.” From November 27 through January 6, Pirate’s Christmas Dinner Adventure features an exciting holiday story line, spectacular sets, Christmas music, and a shipload of yuletide surprises throughout the show. Even St. Nick makes an appearance and 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. In the Village Square the festivities continue with brightly colored garlands, snowmen, holiday trimmings and music, plus delicious complimentary appetizers for guests.

This year as a special surprise there will be cirque style pre-show entertainment, where acrobats and gymnasts recreate the magical Christmas toyshop of Raddo the gypsy toy maker.

But the magic soon comes to an end as the evil Magistrate attempts to halt the Christmas festivities; the princess is captured and Magee the Elf 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 is transformed into a pirate for 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 each year during this holiday show, youngsters will again have the opportunity to don uniforms and join in 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 so high you might even find yourself in the midst of a Florida snowstorm.

The merriment continues in the post-show area, where guests can mingle with the swashbuckling stars of this holiday celebration. And after the later 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 feast on favorites including Treasure’s chicken, tender sliced pork loin with mushroom gravy, a delicious Seafood Medley, accompanied by roasted potatoes or Caribbean rice.
