There are some character dining experiences at the Disney theme parks that feature princesses such as Ariel's Grotto in Disney's California Adventure, Akershus in Epcot, and Cinderella's Royal Table in the Magic Kingdom.
I would love to see a female-driven version of this concept and wonder what kind of story that might have. If there are dinner shows where you could cheer on different pirates or knights based on which section of the arena you set in, what would it be like to have a show with princesses who hail from different-colored kingdoms who perform songs, dances, and other feats while attempting to rescue a prince? Both Pirate's Dinner Adventure and Medieval Times have primarily male casts with more action-driven performances, though they can be enjoyed by anyone.
The first time I saw Pirate's Dinner Adventure, I imagined what a princess-themed version might be like. Even when a wicked knight from a foreign kingdom comes to claim her as his prize, she does not show much of a reaction. The princess at Medieval Times does not have a distinct personality since she is not meant to be the focal point. They introduce the knights and announce birthdays and other celebrations that people paid extra for. There is a special balcony at one end of the arena to seat the king and his daughter, the princess, who act as MCs throughout the show. Instead of a fancy set, Medieval Times uses an indoor dirt field as their stage, allowing the live horses to run around freely. They even filed a lawsuit against Pirate's Dinner Adventure in 2012 for trying to expand with a medieval-themed dinner show that was essentially the same as theirs.

That might be part of the reason that Medieval Times never felt it was necessary to update their formula. Medieval Time also has a handful of locations throughout the country, while Pirate's Dinner adventure only has two at the moment (one in Florida and one in California). Pirate's Dinner Adventure has only been around for about ten years, while Medieval Times has been open for 35. The performance concludes with an epic dragon battle that's comparable to Disney's Fantasmic. Attendees celebrating birthdays or other accomplishments are invited to the ship toward the middle of the show to launch the cannons. The princess's companion, the Golden Gypsy, performs aerial dances throughout the show as the other pirates do all sorts of stunts, games, and acrobatics. The stage contains an indoor tank of water with a life-sized pirate ship in the middle. What Pirate's Dinner Adventure lacks in predictability, though, it makes up for in spectacle. Since Medieval Times is more of a competition, you never know which knight is going to win, which does make it superior in terms of the element of surprise. Since the story is fixed, the pure-hearted blue pirate who swears to protect the princess is always the victor at the end.
She gets kidnapped by pirates at the beginning of the show and sings a beautiful song outlining her dreams and fears as a captive. The princess character plays a rather large role in the story. The reason I think that Pirate's Dinner Adventure is superior to Medieval Times is that it tells more of a story and contains more dazzling fantasy.
