Review

Orlando has one of the eight Medieval Times shows in the North America, and this is the show my kids rate No. 1 in town. Inside, guests gorge themselves on barbecued spare ribs, herb-roasted chicken, soup, appetizer, potatoes, dessert, and beverages including beer. But because this is the 11th century, you eat with your fingers from metal plates while knights mounted on Andalusian horses run around the arena, jousting and clanging to please the fair ladies. Arrive 90 minutes early for good seats and to see the Medieval Village, a re-created Middle Ages settlement, and the Museum of Torture. A new storyline, "Knights of the Realm," introduced in 2004 adds a touch of romance between one of the knights and the princess to the action. Show times vary, but there is at least one performance nightly.
