The performers of this location are currently on strike and fighting for their rights to be treated fairly. They’ve been on strike for 10 weeks now. I definitely support them!
I used to go to medieval times all the time when I was a kid. we went to the beach in sc every summer and there is one there! this was super nostalgic for me 🥺. the back and forth 'wooping' and the friend roasting for 'simping' had me nearly in tears laughing. I know vlogs aren't your thing but I really enjoyed watching!! thanks for sharing this wholesome experience lol
Because I'm a fantasy nonsense nerd I probably enjoyed the Medieval Times vlog more (and I love how the knights were just doing random rolls) but the try-on haul was also nice!! Very neat clothes
The random roll’s definitely sent me. Lol. Especially when the black and white got hit but didn’t react, ran for a pace then randomly fell to the ground 😂
Ty! So Kiely is my friend and in the previous video Taylor is my sister in law (my brother’s wife and in my Ny vlog from last year Yosani is my sister in law as well, my husband’s sister) in case you are wondering who is who haha. Altho Kiely is basically family so I may have referred to her as being like my little sister in other videos. 😂
If it’s not too far for you, try to go to the Excalibur Hotel in Vegas for the Tournament of Kings show during Christmas season (November-December). It is similar to what you saw at Medieval Times but more so. The costumes are incredible (lots of green velvet for the women), Red Father Christmas for Merlin, and lots of snow falling in the arena. It is magical and gorgeous. Also lots of interaction with the audience.
Giiirrl...one of my most important childhood memories was at MT! We went for my birthday and the green knight was our champion. He threw flowers into the crowd and in my mind, we locked eyes, he kissed the flower and threw it right toward me! I caught it!! I've never been the same since 🥰💚
MY DUDE I am living for this content All in all, how was your experience with Medieval Times? It's on my bucket list and as someone who also has fairly severe anxiety, I'm curious how your comfort level was being there! x
I loved it. I totally feel the severe anxiety thing. It was a lot of sensory stimulation tbh but I did ok but I can see others getting overwhelmed. In the lobby before the show it got a little crowded and noisy then inside the arena the light was a little intense and smelled like horses. Was also loud. But I think if you plan ahead of time you might be ok. I had gotten really anxious right before we went because one of my triggers is temperature and I got a major hot flash while getting ready but I was able to cool down and do some breathing which helped. It also helped I had someone who understands my anxiety with me whom I’m comfortable with. So definitely go with people you feel safe with.
Loved the vlog, especially watching the horses. They did brilliantly. I'm not expert but every now and then we'll get asked to "adjust" the behaviour of a difficult horse. They're just so amazing and when you have their trust it's magickal 😍 Loved what you sourced. With that mustard dress the zipper has been sewn in crooked therefore the teeth don't line up properly and that's when it'll pop open. What I do to prevent this from happening is sew in hooks and eyes behind the zip, just a few, and that'll reinforce it. Easier than redoing the whole thing 😊 xx
That’s a good idea! I had issues with the zipper before when I tried it on I store, and it isn’t even too tight so I was wondering why it was having issues. I chalked it up to being a cheap zipper lol.
OMG I remember going to medieval times as a kid. Our night seemed to win and I caught a carnation from him, but then he was suddenly betrayed and we were so sad about it!!!
Thanks for the memories, of going to Medieval Times in SC years ago with the fam and of Cable Guy, which coincidentally came out shortly before we went. Down down down, blue knight’s going down!!
So admiring of your medieval adventures! I have medieval attire in our costume shop but have not partaken in dressing for a fair. If only I were 20 years younger! 😂
I’m of the opinion that at any age you can dress how you want but that’s just me 😌 it might be fun to just dress up with friends for a little party before venturing in public haha.
I went there in middle school! So much fun, I especially loved the shopping area before, all of the whimsy! Good to see not much has changed lol. Loved the red dress and the madewell dress at the end, and those earrings!
Loved the vlog! I hope I can go to medieval times one day, it seems like fun, and I'd definitely be cheering and gushing with my friends just like you both were lol. Thanks for sharing the experience with us!! Also sooo jealous of all the fantasy/knightcore style clothes you always find. I need to travel a bit father to some better thrift stores 🥲 guess I'll make a trip out of that!
Hehe it is def fun if you like corny/campy stuff. Which I do, especially over drinks. I feel like with a group or a really fun friend it’s hysterical 😂😂 (and the knights aren’t too bad to to look at 😉) Yeah and for finding cool stuff when thrifting I always say travel around, go at different times/days. The more you explore the more your chances of finding cool stuff.
I liked both parts of the video, medieval times and the haul :)❤ Also, I chose purple velvet for my bridesmaids dresses for my wedding in April! I thought you’d think that’s cool as a fellow velvet lover 🤍
Ok I’m from the UK so this isn’t a thing here and I’m not familiar with the company but….The way the horses were treated here made me uncomfortable. I worked with horses for years and the tiny stable with everyone looking in? Seems cruel and stressful for the horse, as does the flashing lights and all the noise. Honestly, whole thing seems very dodgy to me. Doubt the RSPCA would let that fly here
From what I've researched and got the opportunity to talk to the horse handlers, they have outdoor paddocks that they get to run around in, and they own a ranch so the horses are in rotation, half of them are at the castle the other half is at the ranch. I can't remember the age they retire (12? Don't quote me on that), so the horses that retire go back to the ranch to run around, eat and enjoy their well deserved retirement
Thank you for addressing this because I was a little concerned when I saw the above comment. I had kinda wondered in the back of my mind but I was like “the show is so short and the people only have access to the stall with the glass window for a super short period” I was hoping they weren’t too stressed out. Also there was a staff member walking around making sure no one tapped on the glass. The glass is also higher up than most kids can reach so they couldn’t tap on it. I’m glad to hear they get to retire and enjoy their lives and they are in rotation so not over worked. They seemed like good horsies and the handlers that I saw before the show and during seemed very loving. I also read that the California Medieval Times performers all unionized in 2022 to ensure fair labor practices.
Haha as a corny connoisseur, I absolutely loved it 😂 my favorite part was when our stinking knight got “hit” but seemingly forgot his queue and had a delayed reaction and then threw himself to the ground (it was when I was like “what was that??”) peak camp
