Medieval Times Kissimmee

Medieval Times Logo Medieval Times is probably one the best known Orlando area dinner shows and a favorite for many. For whatever reason we had always passed this up when deciding what dinner show to check out. We decided to give it a try on 05/24/2008 and I have mixed feeling about it but I'll juts try to give you the facts and let you decide if it's worth your money which is nearly $60 per adult at the door or $43 per adult at a discount ticket vendor like the at the bottom of this page.
  • You will get individual pictures before hand so they can super impose either princess or knights garb on your picture. These photos are $7 each and off course they show them to you at your table while you are eating.
  • The pre show area is stuffed to the brim with splurge buying goods that your kids will no doubt go nuts for. I suggest getting your picture and then turning around and waiting either in the lobby or outside if you have problems with your kids bugging for stuff. We arrived late enough were we did not have to endure this area for very long but my kids managed to try and bug me for at least 3 things.
  • The pre show area also has a pretty decent selection of liquors and themed drinks at the bar but of course the prices are wicked. Most drinks are over $10 each.
  • The pre show, well, there isn't one really.
  • Seating, you are called to the arena doors based on the color assigned you were given at the time you arrived. I suggest trying to get the very back row so you can stand up during the show if need be. Stretching your legs is something that some of us need and the littler kids can stand of the seat to get a better look at the show. Your group photo is taken at this point which they will later try to sell you for $20. This is the point at which they then bring out the kid sellers which can range from flags they wave around to glow in the dark stuff.
  • The food, that's easy, there is no choice, you get a large chunk of herb roasted chicken which is pretty good, a cup of tomato soup (Campbell's I think), a piece of rock hard garlic bread, a spare rib and a single potato wedge, about the only thing I found was worth eating was the chicken but my daughter claims she liked the (yes, the, as in one) spare rib. Adults and kids all get the same thing so if you are like me don't bother buying a ticket for anyone under 3 because there is plenty of food to go around. There is a vegetarian option and it should also be noted that in trying to keep with the theme there is no utensils at all, you eat with your hands but luckily they do provide moist towelettes to to clean your hands before eating but you'll still want to take your hand sanitizer. There is a warm wet towel after the meal for cleaning your paws. Dessert was some sort of apple pie turnover pocket thing that was very similar to the McDonalds version.
  • The show itself is neither exciting or boring. There is no real plot or story that I can decipher nor would it even really matter because you are constantly being interrupted with the staff trying to sell your pictures and other things. There is no comedy, the stunts are avergae but if you have kids that like sword fighting then you are in luck.

My finals thoughts are as I said before, mixed. I felt their venue was cleaner than most, parking was easy, the bathrooms were actually somewhat nice, the seats are padded and somewhat comfortable and Medieval Times is not unlike any other dinner show in the regards that they attempt to scrape your wallet clean after the initial ticket purchase which starts right from the get go with the "do you want to upgrade your ticket" question which is not worth it at all. The food was just average and eating with my hands is not my favorite not to mention the fact there is no separate meal for kids. Medieval Times is not the best, it's not the worst but it does fall in between.
