Mickey in Wonderland Episode 2: Texas Renaissance Festival 2011






Have you ever been to a Renaissance Festival?  I go to one every year.  The Texas Renaissance Festival is located in Plantersville, Texas.  This Festival is always in October-November, it lasts about 8 weeks. It hosts over 400 stalls were you can buy anything from a pair of Fairy wings,  Mead (alcohol), fried alligator (my fave), to a pair of elf ears. The Texas Renaissance Festival is our Nation’s largest, most acclaimed Renaissance theme park. It's open only on weekends, including Thanksgiving Friday. The 55 acre village comes to life as an Europe homage to the King and Queen with Eight Themed Weekends, my favorite is the "1,001 Dreams" weekend.  That's the Fairy Weekend, you get to meet Queen Titania and her court!  Also hundreds of costumed performers are showcased in over 200 daily performances. You also get to see magic shows, comedy, animals and live music!  My favorite like you see in my video is "Cast in Bronze".  He plays the Carillon, a one in the world cast iron bells instrument. You can walk along cobblestone, and shop in over 340 old style stores with delicious foods and beverages. This park has authentically recreated 16th Century British village. Every day ends to a show of Royal Fireworks held above the Festival’s lake.

The tickets can go from $12.50 to $28 depending if you bought them early enough!  You get to dress any way you want, a demon, a knight, a princess, a gypsy!
