We had an absolutely amazing time watching the show and stunts and the food was very surprisingly good! I would like to personally shout out the bar staff tonight July 13, I know it was Sarah, Sebastian and one other girl that also started with an s I can not remember her name. But they were amazing, extremely friendly and went above and beyond with their service. As a first time visitor they made me feel incredibly welcome to the show and provided fantastic recommendations as well as solutions for any small issues that arrived. For sure will be back for my yearly celebration due to this staff!! If you are looking for a wonderful show, decent dinner and true hospitality from staff, definitely come to pirates.

I honestly was NOT expecting this to be as good as it was! I mean first of all, the place is HUGE!…read moreThey give you about 90 minutes before the show if you want to come in and explore, drink, etc. There is a store, bars, armory with REAL weapons that you can buy, pre-show entertainment, and more! The show itself was spectacular! Stunts, sound and water effects, and a lot of crowd interactive type of competitions. I loved that the crowd was divided into different teams. Our server was so nice and attentive to our needs. We chose not to upgrade our meals (it was like $20/extra per person if we wanted steak instead of chicken), but we were impressed with the 3 course meal! It started with a Caesar salad, followed with chicken accompanied by veg and mashed potatoes, and finishing with a brownie. The chicken straight up fell off of the bone. I was also served like half of a whole chicken (I had to take some home because I was so full). It was cooked way better than I thought it would be. You can purchase appetizers after you get you salad for an extra cost. The drinks are good but can be expensive. If you're looking for a less expensive alcohol option, definitely ask about using their house liquor. I had to ask them 3 times for them to actually tell me it was like a $9 difference between getting it with their house vs premium liquor. I will say that anything you get from the bar or as an appetizer that cost extra already includes 15% gratuity. Nobody will tell you it does, but it will be written on the appetizer menu in a very light colored font. What I think is a little BS is that although gratuity is included for those, it isn't included for the server who is serving you the whole night. But none of this negatively affected my experience, I just want to make you all aware of this! I would come back for sure with some family who hasn't seen the show.

Fun spot has been a staple for my family since I was a kid…read more My brother and I used to love racing around on the go karts. We first started doing this in magical midway, but when that felt too rickety and unsafe, we started looking for other parks, and that's when we found fun spot! We would go multiple times a year every year when we were younger and always took advantage of the anniversary ticket prices. It's been a while since we've gone, but it would definitely be another fun trip with nostalgia . The parks have expanded over the years to add more carnival style rides, and a few roller coasters, which are pretty fun too !

I had a couple hours in the afternoon to use up between hotel check out and the conclusion of my…read morehusband's conference, so I took my kids to Fun Spot. I had heard from locals that it's a great local option over the big theme parks. Fun Spot was pretty great, for what it was. Free parking, free admission if you don't plan on riding rides, also a discounted adult pass if you only are going on rides with your kid who is too young to ride alone. The whole place was small, maybe the area of a handful of city blocks. And on the Sunday afternoon when we went, the place was quiet enough that we never waited more than a few minutes to get onto a ride. As we were only there for a couple hours, the cashier recommended the 4 ride pass for my kids, and the companion pass for me. But if one were to spend more hours there, buying the day pass online for $59.95 is quite a bargain. Not all rides were open, but the "big" rides that most kids want (the roller coasters and the go carts) were open. My daughter, who is not a big roller coaster fan, had a harder time finding kiddie rides that she actually wanted to go on, and she watched the go carts and didn't even want to try those with me driving. However, the place was small enough that I felt fine leaving my 10 year old son to go on rides by himself while I went on the Ferris wheel or the merry go round with my 8 year old. There are a bunch of food options available throughout the park. They were definitely more affordable than Disney prices! Most of the places offered souvenir cups with discounted refills, but there were also water stations set up throughout with free cups. I'd definitely come back if I had a few hours to burn and the kids didn't want to go swimming. Hopefully at some point, my daughter will change her mind about roller coasters, though!

There's plenty to do in plenty of rides, and they do have a few go kart tracks, but this location also seems to be more crowded. I've only come to this location a couple of times as opposed to going to the Orlando one multiple times all throughout my childhood. Still a wonderful day trip!

We took advantage of the $28 wristband deal and since we live ten minutes away, we thought it would…read morebe a great date event. Every single staff member we came into contact with was super friendly. Even other visitors were commenting on this. Their safety practices are thorough. I felt comfortable with their safety practices. The wooden roller coaster is way more than it looks. For a small coaster, it packs a lot of punch! We ride front seat and back seat. If you are prone toto neck and back issues, do not ride the back cars lol. Why did i not give five stars? My very favorite ride in the planet is the tilt a whirl and before getting our wristbands were specifically asked if it was running. It starts at 6pm on weeknights. We left the park for a few hours and came back at 6pm only to be told that was the only ride not operating. I know this happens but i was super bummed. It really was the main reason we went there.

My son and I are visiting from California and found the best ticket price from OTC. I made the…read moremistake of requesting pick up as I thought it would be the safest way. Tried to find the location to pick up in Outlet Food Court Concierge Desk. It took a lot of time to find location only to find out it takes 24 hours to process? I have never heard of this before, especially after they have already received my money. I'd tried to contact the company myself several times but only got voicemail. However, Ruby who was at the Concierge Desk, was a huge help and was able to contact the owner and get my tickets sent to me instead through email. OTC was able to send my tickets that same night. So overall OTC did come through as promised and I now have my tickets. Just wanted to let others know to only receive tickets by e-delivery and that it could take up to 24 hours to have them processed. The website will also show the status of your order.

We returned to SeaWorld for the Seven Seas Food Festival. We had bought sampler lanyards and still…read morehad punches left after our first visit this year. My favorite foods this visit were the Tuna Poke Bowl and the Bourbon Caramel Glazed Peach Cobbler. The poke bowl was flavorful and delicious. I had the cobbler later at home. I reheated the cobbler before taking a bite. It was so good. The cobbler was filled with a generous amount of sliced peaches and had a crumble on top. The lines and wait times were minimal. The staff was courteous. I hope to return to next year's SeaWorld Seven Seas Food Festival!

Apparently SeaWorld has been doing this food & drink festival for years now. 2024 marks their 7th…read moreyear doing the SeaWorld Seven Seas Food Festival. But how have I never known about this before? We've been to SeaWorld Orlando and San Diego locations several times over the years, but I never knew. Ha. They're smart to jump on the Epcot Food & Wine Festival bandwagon but making it their own. The SeaWorld Seven Seas Food Festival is LEGIT!!! Walking around the park, there are so many food booths or "markets" to choose from. They range from many different cuisines and drink booths. We hit up the Asian Market first and ordered the Tempura Battered Sushi, Deep Fried Dumplings and Elderflower Mule. Total came out to $41. Hubby scoped out the Food Festival pass where you pay $85 and get 15 samples at any of the food booths. That made way more sense since our 3 items cost $41. So we opted for the lanyard pass. This pass is good for any food or drink item at the food booths. SCORE!!!! So happy we did the lanyard pass, it was worth every penny. The food and drink items alone can range in pricing from $4.99 up to $15.99 each. It was common sense to get the $85 lanyard pass for 15 samples!!! So happy we did that and were able to get a sampling of so many different foods. You can also do a $70 lanyard for 10 samples. You can purchase the lanyards online, at the Seven Seas Festival Welcome Center or at any of the food market locations. All food items are the same portion size, via a la carte or via lanyard. Another bonus is that the lanyard gets you 15 samplers but if you're an annual SeaWorld Pass Holder, you get 3 bonus samples. The festival runs Feb 2nd to May 19th 2024. Lanyards don't have to be used on same day, you can return another day and continue to use the lanyard until all options are used but it has to be used during the same year. All food festival booths are only available on Thursdays-Sundays each week during festival dates. They open 11:00am until park closing time. How to use your lanyard pass, go to any of the food festival market booths, order the food or drink items you want, they will scan the back of the lanyard, punch the amount of items purchased, you get a receipt where you give that to the food pick up area and they give you your items. Done and done. Here's a quick list of everything we ate or drank: * Asian: Tempura Fried Sushi * Asian: Deep Fried Dumplings * Asian: Elderflower Mule * Indian: Chicken Tikki Masala * Indian: Garlic Naan with Chickpea Curry * Mediterranean: Moroccan Grilled Lamb Chops * Mediterranean: Walking Gyros * Irish: St. Patrick's Day Nachos * North Atlantic: Fish & Chips * Polynesian: Smoked Lamb Ribs * Polynesian: Ahi Tuna Poké Nachos * French: Duck Confit We will return and do the lanyard pass again so we can try all the food or drinks we didn't get to try the first time around. Love this concept!

Since it's right in Disney Springs, there are tons of options for dining, grabbing drinks, and walking around before or after your movie. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and both the theaters and bathrooms are consistently clean. They also have dine-in theaters where you can order food and have it brought right to your seat--perfect for when you want to make movie night a little more elevated. And if you're looking for a more immersive experience, they have a Dolby theater too! Definitely one of our favorite places to catch a movie, and the Disney Springs location makes it even better.

I will say concessions are pretty expensive given the actual base cost the theatres pay for these goods, but like I just said, I LOVE POP CORN! I think plant based chicken nugs are next on my "to try" list. It can be a bit confusing when you enter the Theatre on one side and get your concessions, but the Theatre your seated is on the other side. There are really two different types of seats you be shooting in when you go. One where the seats are ultra luxurious, push, heated & recline; & the other.

By far one of the best exclusive Disney Dining event with characters I've been to. The venue is so…read morewell themed to really make it feel like an exclusive place, you really do not feel like you are in a theme park at all once you arrive. Food AND Drinks are ALL INCLUSIVE, so enjoy as much as you can as everything they have to offer is worth trying. My favorites were the desserts and villain themed cocktails. The event itself is very entertaining, you are sat down with your party and possibly others if you do not have more than 4 in your party and then given a card that gives you the times of when you can meet the villains, most of which were very entertaining and hilarious. If you love Disney villains and looking for a character event that doesn't really have many families or kids then this is the event to try! Book and reserve when you can as this event may only be for a limited time!

Imagine that some of your favorite villains took over Disney for one night. That's basically the…read morepremise behind Club Villain. Join Malificient, Cruella de Vil, the Evil Queen, and the Queen of Hearts with Doctor Facilier for an evening of entertainment, food, and drinks. FOOD: Imagine New Orleans Cajun cuisine. That's what you'll get at Club Villain. There are two entree stations set up on either side of the venue and serve the same items. I tried everything - even if it was a nibble of it. I can't complain about the food. The highlight for me was the polenta (which I topped with shrimp) and the dirty rice with gumbo. I won't pretend to know Cajun cuisine; however, the food was good. Dessert was spectacular. Check out the pictures I took. DRINKS: All you can drink (within reason because I'm sure Disney won't mind cutting you off) - and you can definitely get your money's worth. There's four signature drinks, as well as beer and wine. If you aren't into alcoholic beverages, there's canned Coca Cola products, hot teas, and bottled waters. ENTERTAINMENT: Great show. It was so popular, they extended it from the original show dates. The show starts around the time you get in. There's various breaks where you can go visit the evil characters (or their sets) and take pictures. They divide the venue up and have set times for you to meet the characters, which makes for a more organized event. OVERALL: This is a definite must do at Disney. The cost may be a lot up front, but you definitely get your money's worth.
