The Abbey — Attraction in Orlando

After several years of traveling for work, I was finally able to attend the Rings and Dragons concert tonight in Orlando, FL. My girlfriend, who knows how much I love GoT, bought the tickets to surprise me. After years, I was finally going to be able to see it. Sadly, a very loud drunken couple behind us was being extremely loud and screaming "more shots" during the beginning and being extremely hostile. My girlfriend eventually looked back and nicely asked the couple to please be mindful of their voice volume, and the drunken couple proceeded to call her a B** and other very inappropriate words and made her cry and want to leave. I kept my tongue shut so others could enjoy this beautiful performance. They kept being loud and being very hostile; eventually I walked over to a usher and asked for him to please tell the couple to quiet down and leave us alone. He walked away, but we never saw him approach them. You see, I do not travel for work anymore because I'm a veteran with severe PTSD, especially to loud noises. (Not the instrument kind, the loud bang kind) I assured my girlfriend we could still enjoy the rest of the night and the experience we have waited years to attend, but after every song the woman of the couple would clap as loud as she could right behind my ear and kick/nudge my chair. That ended any joy I had left for the show because I started panicking with my PTSD from the couple clapping as loud as they could right beside my ears. Once the song I had been waiting so many years to see live started and we could record, I thought finally, but as I was trying to record the couple kept kicking my chair so I couldn't get a good video. The candlelight was beautiful, and the music was performed exceptionally. I get that people want to have fun and enjoy themselves, but there should be a limit when they're creating a disturbance. After the show, several people approached us and said thank you for saying something because they were being extremely loud and ruining the experience for them as well. I hope for future events loud and very intoxicated/aggressive people will be approached with haste so others may enjoy the beautiful concert. To some, it's just music with drinks from the bar; to others, it's a bucket list item. I never right things like this because nothing is usually ever done, but I think this was a bit too far with the aggression from the couple. I haven't been able to leave home for about 8 months because I have suffered with mental health from my past experiences in the military and have not been comfortable going out. My girlfriend bought the tickets to surprise me and give me hope there are beautiful things to experience out of our home; she knew I would go for this. She waited months to tell me and surprise me and see my reaction once there, and it was ruined by inconsiderate and aggressive people to the point my girlfriend was in tears and devastated, and I couldn't even listen to the beautiful music from my ears ringing from the couple clapping loudly next to my ears. I know that sounds like a bit of a stretch, but trust me, you lose a lot in the military that people use every day in normal life. I'm writing this to you in hopes that for your future experiences, the ushers are a bit more observant in situations before they escalate to the point of completely putting people in tears, feeling unsafe, and ruining such a beautiful experience. No one should go to a Candlelight concert and feel unsafe, cry, or panic heavily from others inducing your...

Magical Experience! 🐉✨

We had an unforgettable evening at the Candlelight: Rings & Dragons experience! The ambiance was breathtakingly beautiful, with countless candles illuminating the room, creating a warm and enchanting atmosphere.

The musical performance was exceptional, taking us on a journey through the realms of Middle-earth and Westeros. We were mesmerized by the talented musicians as they masterfully played our favorite soundtracks from Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and House of the Dragon.

The attention to detail in the setup and the music selection was impressive. It was clear that the organizers are true fans of the franchises, and their passion shone through in every aspect of the event.

We were completely absorbed in the music, and the candlelit setting made it feel like we were part of a secret, mystical world. If you're a fan of these iconic series, this experience is a must-attend! We can't wait to come back and be enchanted again. 5 stars isn't enough - we'd give it 10 stars if we...

Attended the Candlelight: Rings & Dragons concert here a few nights ago. It was my first time attending anything at The Abbey. Rating 3 stars because with my seating choice of "zone C" I saw absolutely nothing most of the show (photo is my view, video was taken at the end when the musicians permitted us and I held my phone high). Literally right behind me there were two rows of barstools where I would've had a much better/actual view. If we had gotten there late we would've landed those! I don't think the seating arrangement/height differences make sense. The person to the left and right of me couldn't see either.

I checked other candlelight reviews, most of them are front rows or elevated at the actual bar in the very back. Seating was also cramped and not very comfortable.

Otherwise, drinks were decent prices, staff was friendly, bathrooms were clean. I wouldn't go back for a seated show (unless I wanted to pay more...
