Florida Castle gets a 7 million dollar renovation makeover.

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Kissimmee announced, in January 2006, that it would be making major changes with a multi-million dollar renovation to the original castle in Kissimmee, Florida. The castle was first opened in December 1983 and was the first venue for Medieval Entertainment, Inc. which now operates nine castles across North America.

In early April 2006 the first phase of construction was completed. This phase included a new courtyard and a 38 foot video display sign at the entrance to the property. Late July saw the second phase completed which was in the main waiting area. The King’s Hall was opened which has expanded the waiting area by close to 4,000 square feet

Starting in December guests were welcomed into the castle through the new ticketing building complete with a new drawbridge and moat. To light the way, seven foot gas torches have been added to the front of the towers of the castle. The back of the house was not forgotten during all the renovations. A completely new “state of the art” kitchen started serving dinner in late November.

The last phase of the project completed in April 2007 and directs guests into the ceremonial arena for the dinner & show from the lower level. Orlando Attractions
