A Journey Back in Time

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that are both entertaining and educational for the whole family. When I heard about the Medieval Times experience in Kissimmee, I knew it was something we had to try. The idea of stepping into an 11th-century European-style castle, complete with medieval artifacts and a live tournament, was too intriguing to pass up.

Upon entering the castle, we were immediately transported to another era. The Hall of Arms was a sight to behold, with its impressive display of medieval weaponry and coats of arms. My children were fascinated by the history and the grandeur of it all. As we made our way to the arena, the excitement in the air was palpable. The Royal trumpeters announced the call to the feast, and we took our seats in one of the six designated color zones, each representing a different region of Medieval Spain.

A Feast Fit for a Noble

The dining experience at Medieval Times is unlike any other. As the show began, we were served a four-course meal, and to my children’s delight, there were no utensils. Eating with our hands added an element of fun and authenticity to the experience. The roasted chicken was delicious, and the ribs were a hit with my kids. It was a meal that was both satisfying and memorable.

As we feasted, the live show unfolded before us. Knights jousted, swords clashed, and horses galloped across the arena. The performers were incredibly talented, and their dedication to their roles was evident. My children were captivated by the action and the drama, and I found myself cheering along with them. It was a theatrical spectacle that kept us on the edge of our seats.

Cheering for Our Knight

One of the highlights of the evening was the audience participation. Each section of the arena was assigned a knight to cheer for, and we quickly found ourselves emotionally invested in our champion. The camaraderie among the audience was infectious, and we cheered, clapped, and booed with enthusiasm.

The show was a mix of choreographed combat, heroic speeches, and dramatic betrayals. By the end of the evening, we were all slightly hoarse from cheering, but it was worth it. My children were thrilled, and I was grateful for the opportunity to share such a unique experience with them.

In conclusion, the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament is a must-do for families visiting Kissimmee. It’s a lively, theatrical, and immersive experience that offers a glimpse into the past while providing plenty of entertainment for all ages. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a fun night out with the family, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.
