Arriving early at Magic Kingdom, I find myself standing front of Cinderella's castle imagining bright-eyed children watching spectacular musical show imported from Tokyo Disneyland for "Cinderellabration." I can't wait to return with our niece so she can meet Disney's most beloved princesses, who'll gather for a coronation and "happily-ever-after" story of Cinderella after each magical show. I couldn't resist a ride on Aladdin's magical carpet on our visit to Agrabah in Adventureland. The ride made me think of Arabian Nights, which inspired us to visit themed dinner show that evening.

The Arabian Nights Dinner Attraction, located at 6225 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy. in Kissimmee (800/553-6116; www.arabian-nights.com), brings a fairy tale to life before your eyes with 60 extraordinary horses and Walter Farley's Black Stallion. After a graceful belly dancer entertained us we settled into arena where performers, dressed in elaborate costumes performed amazing stunts with grace of ballerina's and skill of acrobats on back of horses. Adding a special touch to tasty feast and magical show was parade of horses galloping into arena with performers as show closed.

Interactive projections designer Holger Forterer is using technology along with live performers to create a new art form. The Cirque press material describes these realistic images, explaining: “The video projections in KA are an intricate mix of computer-generated effects and human input that turn performance space into a cinema screen.” Choreographer Jacques Heim creates a series of acrobatically orchestrated jousts and combative practices that go beyond dance. Throughout show he has designed fluid dance sequences.

Guy Caron, credited as Director of Creation brings decades of theatrical and Cirque experience into play. According to Caron, “The script was element that dictated way theatre is built, and it determined how sets would be used. That’s totally new for Cirque du Soleil.”

Possibly Bellagio’s “O” theater, with its multi-leveled swimming pool to dry stage dictated sequences. The concept for theater came first, show second. With KA script came first. Caron and Robert Lepage take us on a journey that incorporates real and surreal.

After fighting and surviving elements royal princess and her caretakers find themselves on a beach where Michael Curry’s amazing sea creatures emerge.
