With my kids busy with their school and sport-related activities this summer, it was hard to schedule an extended vacation. No big deal. There are so many things to do and places to visit in Southern California alone. Imagine my surprise when we attended a Pirate's Dinner Adventure in Buena Park. After doing some research, I found out that Pirate's Dinner Adventure received the Certificate of Excellence by Trip Advisory in December 2013.
Billed as the WORLD'S MOST UNIQUE AND INTERACTIVE DINNER SHOW, Pirate's Dinner Adventure is a two-hour non-stop live performance featuring an astonishing display of special-effects wizardry, aerial artistry, swashbuckling and dynamic duels. The actors and actresses can sing! My favorite part of the show was perhaps the aerial artistry. Simply amazing! More than 150 guests(mostly children of all ages) got the chance to play an actual role in each show. My two little ones were picked to take part in the show. How's that for interactive?
On top of all that, we got dinner and appetizers! The apps were served in the lobby/waiting area before the pre-show. Guests were also able to purchase cocktails and souvenirs while waiting. It was definitely a great way pass the time while waiting to be escorted in the theater by our "Pirates". Once inside, we were shown to our table, where we were able to fully take in the environment. It felt like we were transported into another world. A world of pirates, harbors, and pirate ships.
Instructions to the audience and dinner orders were swiftly taken care of before the show. The dinner feast fit for a pirate included your choice of vegetable soup or fresh garden salad, roasted half chicken or beef kabobs, buttery mashed potatoes or Caribbean rice and fudge brownie a la mode for dessert. Vegetarian and kids meals were also available. The meal also included unlimited soft drinks and complimentary coffee. I chose the chicken with Caribbean rice and steamed vegetables. I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was moist, juicy, and very tasty.
With everything going on off "stage" with food being served, cocktail orders being delivered and audience-actors being cued for their parts, all eyes remained on what was happening onstage. The actors were so engaging and kept the energy up, it didn't feel like 2 hours had passed.
Pirate's Dinner Adventure is conveniently located off the 5 and 91 freeways in the heart of Buena Park Entertainment Zone just 10 minutes away from the Disneyland Resort and 15 minutes from John Wayne Airport with domestic/international service. Complimentary on-site bus, car and handicapped parking. The fully-enclosed, air-conditioned venue offers two full bars, gift and photo souvenir shops. Guests from all over are accommodated by a multilingual staff with exceptional customer service.
