![]() ![]() My daughter was even chosen as the yellow teams "Queen of the Tournament", where she received a special sash and rose. We were on the team yellow, so each time he rode by on his horse we cheered. We definitely left full! Dessert was a puffed apple pastry - it was so yummy that I ate it before I could take a picture.ĭuring the entire meal, the tournament plays out with series of events, including a beautiful horse showcase, falcon show, sword fighting and jousting. The arena is divided into color-coded sections and you're encouraged to rally for your knight. The portions are a little crazy though - there was no way any of us finished half of our meal. I was surprised at how hot and fresh everything tasted given the timing and scale of diners in the arena. Fear not vegetarians, because there's a special entree for you too! The main feast is served a little while later and includes a 1/2 oven roast chicken, spare rib and an herb-roasted potato. One of the coolest aspects of the dinner, especially for kids, is the fact that you're allowed to eat with your hands - no utensils are given, just as in the Medieval Times! The first of three courses, tomato bisque soup with garlic bread, is served along with a choice of non-alcoholic beverage. The dinner & tournament begin almost immediately after being seated. The theming inside is really fantastic, and it's hard not to get excited for the show. Before being led to your seat, there's a chance to order a beverage (both alcoholic and non) or purchase souvenirs from the Hall of Arms. My 9-year-old daughter was just fascinated by all of the contraptions.Ĭloser to showtime we made our way back into the castle to pick up our obligatory paper crown and take photos before being summoned to the arena for the tournament. The most interesting section of the village (at least to my family) was the Torture Chamber with models of torture devices used in the 11th century. Showtimes vary by day of the week (our show was Friday at 8:30pm), and guests are encouraged to arrive up to an hour early to experience the surrounding Medieval village with authentic and replicated artifacts. Once we received our tickets and team color (yellow!), we were free to wander the grounds until the next show. Make sure to visit the special offers page on the Medieval Times website before purchasing - there are some great deals, including buy one-get one ticket offers! I received complimentary tickets as part of a media visit, but the standard pricing is below. Upon entering the castle there are kiosks where you can purchase and/or pickup tickets. While we’ve taken many trips to Walt Disney World and the surrounding theme parks, we rarely make our way down 192 (Vine St.) in Kissimmee.Ĭhecking in for our dinner reservations was quite easy. When we arrived, my daughter was taken aback by the fact that this was a real place. For good measure, I invited my mom along to relive the experience she had with me some 30 years prior – Medieval Times is celebrating its 30 th anniversary in 2014! ![]() Now that I have a daughter of my own, I thought it would be fun to pay a visit to Orlando’s highly rated “dinner & tournament” during spring break. She claims that we attended the dinner show at some point in my childhood, but I have no recollection of it. I remember begging my mom to visit ‘the castle’ on multiple occasions during our weekend stays in the area when I was growing up. I was able to bring my leftovers home.Medieval Times has been an Orlando landmark since I was a little girl. For dessert we had small ice cream sundaes. We had the choice of water or sweet tea to drink and could also order a drink from the bar for an additional cost. We were served garlic bread and tomato bisque soup, half of a small chicken, half of a baked potato and a quarter of corn on the cob. The show was fun, the horses were absolutely beautiful and talented and the knights were competitive. It turns out that the seats were the best because they were closest to where the queen sits. The seats were at the end of the table because that’s what the other people left for us. We were at table 6 and we were the last ones in for that table. Once we looked at the things for sale we found chairs where we could sit until we were called into the area by the team color. Inside there were shops and things to purchase. When the doors opened we went to the ticket window and received our pass with a color and table number on it along with a paper crown which was color coded. We met an employee while we were trying to figure out where we should go, who instructed us to stand by the bridge into the building and that the doors would open at 4:45. We were told on the phone to be there by 4:30 for a 6:00 show. When we arrived, it wasn’t clear where we should go since we already had our tickets. My husband and I attended the show because we were on vacation and it sounded fun to do. ![]()
