Florida: Kissimmee, Arabian Nights - Checkout the Latest Interactive Experience - Performer for A Day Program in Orlando.Arabian Nights Dinner Theater Orlando Florida  Adding to the already awesome Arabian Nights VIP Experience guest now have the chance to rehearse for a day and be in the show that night.
 
A few years ago I had the pleasure of sharing the Arabian Nights VIP Experience with my family. From the moment of arrival we were all drawn into the energy of the show. It was we all agreed - cool! In addition to the Sneak Peek Stable Tour, we had opportunities to speak with performers and take candid shots in the area prior to the show. Because we made connections with both horses and performers the show seemed more personal and magical.
 
The show itself was both entertaining and relaxing. At times during the scene sequences the lighting createsda dreamlike atmosphere with a few surprises created to evoke squeals from the youngest guests. The dinner show works for multiple generations combining traditional entertainment techniques with amazing lighting and sound plus there's dinner. Each season guests and returning guests will find refinements and new benefits. The most exciting so far Arabian Nights Performer for A Day.

Here’s the scoop. Arabian Nights has introduced a new program Performer for A Day. The new immersive behind the scenes program allows guests to experience a day in the life of a performer at Arabian Nights and to see if they have what it takes to be a performer in the nightly shows.
 
“Many guests would inquire about the skills and training to participate in the show, and most wanted to work with the horses. Those requests, coupled with the history of Arabian Nights as a teaching facility for both riders and acrobats, made us eager to create a unique experience where guests could truly be immersed in the daily routine of our horses and performers,” said Executive Vice President Audrey Padgett.Arabian Nights Back Stage Girl Meets Horse

Three ways to get in the show. There are three tracks for participants to mirror the skills of the main types of performers in the Arabian Nights show; riders, acrobats and people who do both. In any of the three tracks, the participants are limited to two people per session. Each track includes a skill lesson, hands-on introduction to horse care, costuming and participation in the Arabian Nights show.
 
Ride bareback, really! Of the three tracks, the bareback acrobatics track is particularly unique to Arabian Nights because it is one of the only facilities in the world to teach circus-style bareback acrobatics to performers. In this session, participants will learn basic acrobatic techniques from veteran featured performer Csaba Szilagyi in an individual lesson. Depending on skill level and athleticism, this can include learning to stand on the back of a moving horse. Bonus points: This track also includes an appearance in the Gypsy Parade in the Arabian Nights show.

Learn horse tricks. The second track, specialty riding, teaches participants the secrets of some of the horse tricks seen in the Arabian Nights show. In this session both basic riding skills and specialty tricks will be taught. Bonus points: The participant will be a part of the Encampment Act in the Arabian Nights show, where they will help lay a horse down for their role in the act.

Choose both tracks.
There is the option to combine the first two, with one lesson on each topic with additional hands on work with Arabian Nights horses. Bonus points:  The participant has a choice of participation in either the Gypsy Parade or Encampment Act.

Make it happen. Performer for A Day experience begins at $200 per participant and includes lunch and admission to the dinner show, with up to three guest observers at $25 each, including show admission. Packages include souvenir photo and special ringside seating. For more information on this program, guests can visit www.Arabian-Nights.com or call toll-free 1-800-553-6116 and ask for group sales department.

Plan to arrive early. Adding entertainment value to the show, Arabian Nights has a new Pre-Show Experience for all guests. Beginning in the Great Hall guests are welcomed and encouraged to browse the crafter’s booths and souvenir shops, sample selections from a complimentary buffet of appetizers, or engage in a belly dancing session.  Bonus points: About one hour before show time, young children are invited into the arena to select a special stick horse and play a variety of games.  Arabian Nights 3081 Arabian Nights Blvd. Kissimmee, FL 34747.

Consider Arabian Nights VIP Experience. If you have a child or children enchanted by horses this is definitely worth the time and money. The session includes the Sneak Peek Stable Tour (see and interact with the horses in the stables about one hour before show time), priority seating, and half off drinks.

Add the Backstage Tour. If you are amazed by the showmanship and technical affects this is the time and place to find out how it is done night after night. Join the staff for an exclusive behind the scenes tour after the show. Participants enjoy a complimentary beverage in a collector’s cup while the arena clears, then join a performer for a twenty-five minute tour of the arena, stage, tech booth, and barn.
