From the high-tide fortress-like castle that takes into the medieval time travel to the battle for royalty and kingdom privileges fought over by knights and the prestige of the Royal Court, the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament provides a distinguished and unique look at a different kind of entertainment.
It is fascinating to be part of the experience.
That’s just how good the entertainment is. There is a lot of competition in Orange County for the tourist pocketbook. Attending a Medieval Times show is money well-spent.
The first thing that gets you going is how the staff separates the guests through colors, which actually represents each of the knights competing in the jousting tournament for the affection of Princess Catalina.
Of, course, to get to Princess Catalina, the knights must -pass through the royal inspection of King Don Carlos, who is confronted with a potential enemy to his kingdom.
Drama. Romance. Epic battles. The majesty of the Grand Spanish Horses. The backdrop of 11th-century Spain. A villain. The hero. The Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament gives you a bit everything for a great show to connect with audiences. But before we get to all the drama, let’s get to the set up first.
So what’s interesting about the show is before customers are seated for the show, they are designated with colors that align them with each of the knights participating in the two and half hour show. There’s the Blue Knight, the Black & White Knight, the Green Knight, the Red & Yellow Knight, Yellow Knight and the Red Knight.
Whatever color section you’re seated in that is the knight of your choice to cheer for throughout the competition.
But before the competition gets started an intruder, Lord Ulrick, who has been sent to King Don Carlos and represents himself as the Herald to the King of the North, makes a surprise visit and tries to woo your majesty with a gift. The protruding background music suggests this is a bad guy.
And what’s a good show without a bad guy trying to make others around him miserable? As the drama unfolds, the King’s Meal is served. And what a meal! The menu of hot tomato bisque, roasted chicken, BBQ spare rib, herb-basted potato and castle bread is one serving of food that you won’t forget.
It is enough food to fill a king’s belly. There are no utensils to eat with the meal as the serving keeps up with the show’s theme of medieval activities.
One of the more interesting aspects of the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament is that all of the knights have past the shoulders locks and enough good looks to charm down the crowd which they do with poetic ease as they bounce around on horseback, jousting one another or go into the pit for hand-to-hand combat in the center of the ring.
However, there’s more to the show than knights running around in armor suits fighting each other for the right to take on the villain from the North. The Grand Spanish Horses, sacred treasures during the medieval time period, are a spectacle to behold as is the Royal Falcon. This is what makes the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament worth seeing.
