For the first time in 34 years Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament is ruled by a Queen! I have been to Medieval Times (Myrtle Beach, SC) many times before and enjoyed their show a lot. Jersey Boy had listened to me talk about the South Carolina Medieval Times experience. He kept saying how much he'd love to visit any of the Medieval Times shows some day. He's my nerd in shining armor so when we were making plans for the week in Orlando I knew I wanted to make it happen for him. This was also a visit of firsts for me as well. It was my first visit to the Orlando castle and as of April of this year Medieval Times Orlando is ruled by it's first female- Queen Dona Maria Isabella!
Medieval Times Orlando
The Orlando location was the first US location to open (1983). It is the only location that has a village you can tour. There is a lot of history to see and read throughout the village tour. The torture section of the village is warned ahead of time to not be very appropriate for young children. Some of the devices and descriptions are a bit graphic. After walking the village we went back in to the castle to wait for our section to be called in to seats.
At check-in we were given our table number and crowns to wear. Your table number decides the color of the knight that your section cheers for for the tournament. We were given crowns for the red and yellow knight. While we waited for seating we watched a knighting ceremony and ordered sangria to be delivered to our table with dinner. Dinner did not disappoint. I knew what to expect but it was all new to Jersey Boy. I did warn him ahead of time that there was no utensils to eat with, which didn't phase him any. The bill of fare (meal) includes: tomato bisque toasted garlic bread, roasted chicken, corn on the cob, and a potato with Pepsi products and coffee along with the dessert pastry of the castle. Dinner was much enjoyed while we watched the show/tournament.
The show and tournament were exciting to watch and of course my favorite part of the show- the horses were magnificent. The red and yellow knight was the victor of the tournament! I was surprised with the number of locals that were there doing celebrations, so that goes to show it's not just a touristy place to visit. If you are in the Kissimmee or Orlando area and are celebrating an event or just looking for an evening of fun then you should go to Medieval Times. You'll want to get your Medieval Times tickets in advance to save time when you get there.
You can read more on how to spend a week in Orlando here-> How to spend a kid free week in Orlando. I'll be adding more shortly.
This looks like a lot of fun! I have always wanted to go to one of these shows!
It really is a lot of fun. Hopefully you will get to attend one day soon yourself.
That looks like a lot of fun. I lived near the Medieval times in NJ but never made it there. We are planning to take our son on our next visit though.
Jersey Boy (my hubby) said he had heard of the one in NJ but never went there before. I'd like to visit that one too.
Its been years since I've been to Medieval Times! I remember how fun it was though! I'm hoping to take my girls this summer! I think they would love it!
I bet they would too.
Classic medieval themed fun

We have a Medieval Times in Anaheim, CA which is near to where I live. Ironically, my teen daughter was just talking about going there this summer with a friend. It really is lots of fun.

We had a great night out with Medieval Times <3
(Medieval Times Orlando- A Queen rules!) There is one of these places to eat in the Chicago area to go and eat at. Ihave had friends that have gone but I have never gone there yet.
I'd like to visit all of the locations at least once.
This is a great family night out. I really appreciate you reminding me of this fun time.
Sounds like an amazing time. I'm a lil jealous lol
It was such a fun night.
What a fun place to visit. None around here to visit.
Bummer 🙁
I love that this is now ruled by a Queen. I haven't been there in many years. I can't wait to take my grandchildren to see this. Thank you so much for sharing this
I hope you all have a fantastic trip.
I think this would be great for some family fun. I wish they had this in our area.
They need more locations, huh?
I used to go in Maryland but haven't been to this one in Florida yet.
Did you enjoy the Baltimore/DC location?
Cool! We went to one of these in Dallas, Texas, and it was a lot of fun!
I have family that lives in TX now so maybe I will get to visit that location too eventually.
