If you have a bucket list for Orlando, Florida, go and add Medieval Times to the list! Not even kidding… go write it down now! I have been excited to go to Medieval Times in Orlando for the last month and let me tell you, it was way more fun than what I expected.

Before the tournament even starts you are thrown into the 11th Century as you walk through the doors. There is a big hall decorated inside the castle with fun photo opportunities and shops with all kinds of medieval fun.
✔️ My recommendation- arrive about 30-45 minutes early to be able to tour the castle and look through the shops!
Once you are in the actual arena you are seated with your group at a large banquet table. We bought the Royalty upgrade, which puts you closer in priority seating and adds a cheering banner and VIP pass to your night for $12. It was definitely worth it! Our kids barely set their banners down and really got into waving and cheering with them. If I am being completely honest… the adults did too.

The castle serfs and wenches brought out a four course feast as we watched the show, and it was seriously good. The food was typical of what would have been eaten in Medieval times, although they do have vegetarian options by request. The wenches also bring out drinks and refill them all night long. You eat everything with your hands and are not given any utensils, which my family absolutely loved.

Now- let me get to the even more exciting part. You are assigned a knight that matches the color of your section, and if you are anything like our table, you cheer and yell for your knight all night long. We were assigned the Red knight (Go Red!) The Green knight was our knight’s enemy so of course there was a lot of boo-ing in his direction. Even my kids got into the cheering and booing as the tournament went on. If you are a master heckler, this is your jam. As the knights are jousting you of course cheer for your knight, but heckling the other knights is a lot of fun too.
✔️ My recommendation- really be a part of the experience. It isn’t just a show to sit back and watch, it keeps you on the edge of your seat cheering and yelling and “wahoooing” …if you ask my daughter.
