Monday Night | Medieval Times
Six knights. One arena. A tournament that doesn’t let up. Step through the doors of an 11th-century castle and take a look around before the show starts. Gander at the authentic weaponry, get a photo op, and grab a drink at the local watering hole. Then find your seat in one of six sections, each cheering for its own Knight of the Realm. Buses will start loading at 5:45 p.m. and leave between 6 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. The show concludes at 9 p.m., after which the buses will begin immediately returning to the resort.

Plus, enjoy a delicious dinner during the tournament while knights compete in jousting, sword fighting, and games of skill on horseback.

Grab your meal. Then cheer.
