点评:It pains me to write this. I have been going to the Renaissance Festival for a good 30 years. It was always so much fun. I went last weekend and my experience was quite different. Tickets are expensive. The food is terrible! And overpriced! A turkey leg, which they are famous for, was $13! I can buy almost an entire turkey for that amount. I tried to return a meatball grinder because it was cold; had to argue that meatball grinders are warm. Used to be getting an apple dumpling meant an entire apple wrapped in pastry baked to perfection. Now its a Pillsbury croissant wrapping over pie filling. Used to be you would see all the characters wandering around the grounds. The king and queen, princesses, members of the royal court - frequently you saw them and interacted with them. We were there 5 hours, saw 1 character walking around. They have theme weekends too but honestly 1 weekend isnt any different from another. It just felt tired. And they just want to take as much of your money as possible. I wanted to get my 2 year old nephew a small sword. It was $35 for a plain, wooden sword. No thanks. Probably won't go back again. Which is a shame because its been a tradition for decades!
翻译:写这些让我很痛苦。我参加文艺复兴节已经30年了,每次都很有趣。上周末我去了,体验完全不一样。门票贵,食物难吃!而且价格虚高!他们招牌的火鸡腿竟然要13美元!这个价钱我几乎可以买一整只火鸡了。我本来想退掉一个肉丸研磨器,因为它是冷的;结果不得不跟他们解释肉丸研磨器是温的。以前苹果饺子指的是用酥皮包裹着烤得恰到好处的整个苹果。现在则是用皮尔斯伯里羊角面包皮包裹着派皮。以前你会看到各种各样的人物在场地里走来走去。国王、王后、公主、宫廷成员——你经常能看到他们,并与他们互动。我们在那里待了5个小时,只看到一个人物在走来走去。他们也有主题周末,但说实话,每个周末都没什么不同。就是感觉很累。他们只想尽可能地榨取你的钱。我想给我两岁的侄子买一把小剑。一把普通的木剑要35美元。不用了,谢谢。我可能以后不会再买了。真可惜,因为这已经是几十年的传统了!
