We lucked out with the weather that day; it was humid, but it never rained or "isolated thunderstormed." As we walked the dirt path we encountered nobles, commoners, knights, wizards, pirates, village idiots, and other varieties of people. There was plenty of live music as you walked on. As I like to say, "Follow the bagpipes." There were also a good number of performances not only music performances, but theatrical and physical performances like dancing, juggling, circus stunts, jousting, human chess, and magicians.
We saw a few musicians: The Sirens, The Rogues, and Tartanic (bagpipes with a grooving beat.) We saw some jousting!
Tips/Suggestions:
*Get into the spirit... dress up or at least go along with some of the vernacular. "Good day, my lord" "God save the Queen!" "Good morrow" "Anon" "Forsooth!"
*Even though you pay admission (at least at this fair,) there are some extra activities you can do (like sword fight, which we did) for an additional cost. We did the sword fighting at $5 a person - worth it, and I rode an elephant for $10 - meh, cool, but not worth $10.
*Talk to the street performers... don't be afraid of them. (This goes for anywhere... especially a place like Disney World.) You could have such an awesome memory by having a conversation with a street performer... or volunteering to participate in a show.
Ciao for now!
You went already?! Are you still coming with me on the 18th? I am soooooo excited for this!
