Tournament Of Kings Bag Policy

So, you’re heading to the Tournament of Kings, huh? You’ve got your jousting spirit, your appetite for royal turkey legs, and a whole lot of hype for some medieval mayhem. But wait—before you charge into the Excalibur arena, let’s talk about the one thing that can stop a knight in his tracks: the bag policy.

Don’t panic. I’ve got your back (and your bag). This isn’t a boring lecture—think of it as your royal decree for a stress-free night of sword fights and pyrotechnics. Let’s break it down like a wooden shield at a jousting match.

The Golden Rule: Clear Bags Only, My Friend

First, the big one: the Tournament of Kings follows a clear bag policy. Yes, just like at a concert or a football game. If your bag isn’t transparent, you’re probably not getting past the gate guards.

Think of it this way: a clear bag is like the castle moat—it lets security see right through it. No sneak attacks, no hidden grocery-store snacks (sorry, contraband candy lovers). Acceptable sizes are tiny, too. We’re talking a small clutch (no bigger than 4.5 x 6.5 inches) or a clear plastic bag that’s 12 x 12 x 6 inches max.

Leave your giant, mysterious duffel bag at home. Unless you want to be that person arguing with a security guard while a knight yells “Huzzah!” in the background. Trust me, it’s not a good look.

The One Exception: Medically Necessary Items

If you have a medical need—like an EpiPen, an insulin pump, or a bag for a child’s formula—you’re in luck. The rule is: you get a pass. Just be ready to have it inspected and clearly labeled. Think of it as your VIP (Very Important Potion) pass.

But don’t try to sneak in a whole picnic under “medical.” Security has seen it all, including the “my snack Caboodle is for my gluten-free emotional support.” They will know. Play it straight, and you’ll be cheering for “Sir Whomever” in no time.

What is Banned Entirely? (The No-Go Zone)

Alright, here’s the list of items that will get you a polite but firm “Nay!” at the door. No weapons—obviously. No chains, no aerosols, no large umbrellas (unless it’s raining, but then you’re stuck holding it). No outside food or drinks, except for unopened water bottles in a clear container. I know, you wanted to bring your own turkey leg. But trust me, the ones inside are worth the price—and the grease stain on your shirt.

Also, please leave the selfie sticks at home. They’re not allowed, and honestly, you don’t want to be the person who accidentally pokes a knight’s horse. That’s a bad day for everyone.

What About Backpacks or Diaper Bags?

Backpacks that aren’t clear? Straight to the hotel room. Sorry. The venue doesn’t have a bag check (unless you count the trash can—and trust me, you don’t). Diaper bags are usually allowed, but they’ll be searched. So pack light, pack clear, and remember: your baby doesn’t need a full wardrobe change and a onesie for each knight. Just the basics.

Pro Tips So You Don’t Look Like a Court Jester

Here’s the fun part: how to ace the bag policy like a champion. First, buy a clear stadium bag online for five bucks. It’s a game-changer. You can throw in your phone, a lip balm, and maybe a single granola bar (shh, we won’t tell).

Second, dress for speed. Wear pants with deep pockets. Phone, wallet, keys, and your sense of humor can all go straight into your pockets. No bag needed. You’ll glide through security like a knight on a mission.

Third, arrive early. The line for bag checks moves like a sloth in slow motion if you show up late. Give yourself 30 extra minutes to show your clear bag, do a little jig to the “medieval techno” in the lobby, and buy that giant foam finger that says “STABBY.”

What If You Forget the Rules?

Don’t worry. The Excalibur Hotel staff are pros at this. They’ll gently tell you, “Sorry, that bag isn’t allowed,” and you can either: walk it back to your car, say a sad goodbye to your cargo pants, or run to the gift shop and buy a clear bag for a small fee. Yes, they sell them. It’s not a scam—it’s convenience with a side of capitalism.

Just don’t blame the knight if you get stuck at the gate. He’s busy being heroic on a horse. You’ve got this.

The Final Verdict: Go Clear, Go Small, Go Wild

So here’s the deal: the bag policy is your friend. It keeps everyone safe, the lines moving, and your focus on the show. And let’s be real—the show is epic. We’re talking fire, real horses, men in armor screaming, and a chicken dinner you eat with your hands. You don’t want to miss a second because you’re wrestling with a zipper.

Pack a clear bag. Wear pockets. Bring your spirit. And when the lights go down and the first knight gallops in, remember: you conquered the bag policy like a true champion. Now go cheer, laugh, and eat that turkey leg like no one’s watching. Because in the kingdom of Tournament of Kings, everyone’s a hero—especially the one who showed up without a contraband backpack.

Long live the clear bag. And may your snacks be many and your lines be short. Huzzah! 🏰⚔️
