One of the best ways to recognize teachers for their invaluable contributions is by thanking them. Besides teaching what’s on the school curriculum, teachers also provide guidance, encourage their students, and share valuable life skills. We always like walking through and taking photos, and if it’s closed for whatever reason that’s fine, but I wish that info would have been more prominent(if there at all) as we were purchasing or a discount on admission due to not being able to get the full experience.Teachers have the capacity to make an impact on the lives of countless students. The final disappointment is the medieval village was closed, and we weren’t informed until after we purchased tickets. I only saw a few performers, but not our knight. The chaos continued after the show however,trying to find our knight to get a photo with him, and I overheard multiple other groups say the same thing, I wish that was all more organized, there was a whole second room that was basically empty while everyone was cramped in the main room trying to take photos. The show was great, my first time seeing the current show, loved the costumes, but it was very difficult to understand what the actors were saying. He also spilled a lot of soda both times he filled the cup, so much so it was going everywhere and I used the napkin from an empty plate next to me to clean it up before it spilled on me. Maybe it was a kitchen issue, but our server seemed later than other rows, by the time we’d get the course, the row in front of us was already finished with it. But it was served on a styrofoam plate, even though the row in front of us had the metal plates. We had everything listed on the website (soup course, main course, dessert course), except there was no corn, and we got a sausage instead (my favorite part of the meal) and the dessert was an eclair, which was good as well. The food was tasty as always, but the website said 4 courses but I count 3. When we went in the confusion continued, had to figure out our table ourselves. When we entered there were groups of people standing by the ticket area, in front of the crown area, just hanging out I guess? So we thought it was a line and then we’re told to go one way and then a different way, just overall confusing. I’ve been here a handful of times over the years, and while still a wonderful time, this would have to be the most underwhelming time. What I thought was hysterical about that situation was that Christmases were highly celebrated in Medieval castles so acknowledging the day would have actually been in keeping with the authenticity of the show. Like they could get in trouble if they were overheard. Like saying Merry Christmas to a server when we were leaving and they looked around and then whispered Merry Christmas back. The guests were friendly and wishing others a Merry Christmas but it was almost like the people working were warned not to say anything. With regards to going on Christmas day, I feel like they went out of the way to not to acknowledge that it was Christmas day. Chicken was moist and they gave to-go bags for all the leftovers. As far as the meal goes, it was better than I expected. There was no "priority seating access" and everyone had cheering banner so I'm not sure what those are supposed to mean on the website. I thought for sure that our seats would be better since we made sure to get there early and were the 3rd family to check in at the VIP window. There are 3 sections on each side of the arena and we were in a side section towards the middle. We did purchase the Royalty upgraded VIP seats but I'm not sure it was worth it since I guess almost everyone has VIP seats. The other people who spoke were fine but no one in our party could understand the queen (and we are around many Hispanics day-to-day and don't usually have issues understanding). So glad that it didn't smell like horse! The storyline of the show was a bit difficult to follow since the "queen" had such a thick Hispanic accent. The show was very good and we loved seeing the performance.
