It’s time to move that once-per-year suggestion to go to Medieval Times out of the group chat. An evening at the immersive Kissimmee experience is unique, to say the least.
Here’s what you can expect and some advice to make the most of it:
Transport to the 11th century during the two-hour show. Depending on your seat, you will have a knight to cheer on as they fight to protect the queen and the kingdom.
A four-course feast is served during the show. Eating with your hands is more authentic, but you can ask for cutlery. The cocktail menu is less authentic.
Our biggest tip: Arrive early. Doors open an hour before the show, giving you plenty of time to look around the Hall of Arms, get some photos, and snag some merch.

Today would have been Norm Macdonald’s 66th birthday. The late, great comic will always be one of my favorites, and I miss his on-stage and on-screen presence dearly.
One way to keep his legacy alive is to watch comedians hone their craft at a local comedy club.
