"Where Happily Ever After Happens Every Day!" Come meet the Princesses! 1. 2 hour line sucks. 2, It can get hot and frustrating.. 3. Frustrating and frustrated little kids 4. Yelling, screaming, crying 5. The wait is worth it! If you have little girls in your life, they probably like the princesses. If they do, this is a must. There is nothing better than the first trip. Sure, the kids get frustrated in this long line. BUT, this is similar to driving to Vegas. You know the trip. You drive for hours with nothing but desert, then you turn the bend in the middle of the night and you see the lights of Vegas in the distance. There is a similar situation with this attraction. After all that waiting, the kids get grumpy. Once you enter and turn the corner, there they are. Fancy Princesses in their stunning attire. Cartoons come to life and the dreams of the kids turned to reality. For the first time in visiting Disneyland as an Adult, my memories of Disneyland as a child were revived. There is nothing as grand as seeing the faces of all the little girls as they see these lovely ladies. It reminded me of why this place is the happiest place on earth. This attraction also has an interactive show where the kids can dance with the princesses.

I cant remember ever coming to the Royal Hall in my childhood trip to DIsney but seeing the little one get so excited to see the Princesses was priceless! Before heading inside we stood in line to meet the Princess Jasmine and Aladdin and took a family picture with them before going in line to see the who was at home in the Royal Hall. Inside we met Cinderlla, Princess Tiana who was my granddaughters favorite, and Snow White who all of my girls loved. Snow White told the little one to be sure to make a wish in her wishing well before we left the Castle and because of her promise to the Princess we made sure to check that off the list. Have your photopass ready for this one because you will want a family picture with your family's favorite Princess for sure.

Fantasy Faire is a cute and quaint area off to the side of the castle, here you can see the beautiful Rapunzel Tower light up, have some yummy goodies at Maurice's Treat, catch a cute show at the Royal Theatre or fulfill your dreams and tap into your inner child (if you're not a child) by visiting the Princesses at the Royall Hall. Also if you're lucky you might catch Gaston roaming around! The Royal Hall, I can finally cross this off of my list!! All of the years I've been going to Disneyland and I've never stepped foot in here (partly because of the hour long line I always see ugh). I casually got there right when they opened and there was only a 5 min wait, I might have even wait 20 minutes to see my fav princess Ariel. Having never been here I wasn't sure what to expect, I thought you just take a picture with one Princess and that's all. Wrong! I was able to meet three Princesses, Elena of Avalor, Ariel and Snow White. I find this way better than lining up to take a pic with Mickey or Goofy because the Princesses are very personable, they interact with you and get to know you a little all while getting your pictures taken. As a child I don't recall experiencing this or taking pictures with my favorite Princess so it was definitely an experience and I would gladly go again to see different Princesses as they are different everyday. The Royal Theatre is currently showing a Beauty and the Beast themed show in honor of the upcoming release of the live action movie as well as the transformation in Fantasyland. Maurice's Treats is one of those food stands that is somewhat hidden and hardly ever has a line but they serve some yummy items. They are well known for their cheddar garlic bagel twists and boysen apple freeze. They have transformed the menu a bit to feature a "grey stuff" twist, strawberry rose twist, dipping sauces and a red rose lemonade freeze all in honor of the upcoming Beauty and The Beast. I would definitely check this little area out, it's cute and not too crazy and it has a lot to offer.

Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora...Disney princesses everywhere. The Princess Fantasy Faire does a great job of putting some of the most sought after Disney characters all in one place at one time. If I remember right the princesses would randomly show up around the Castle and it was hard to find them when you really wanted a picture Save yourself tons of time waiting in line and make this one of the first things you do in your day...especially if you have little princess girls with you who want to meet their favorite princess. Most of the time Princess Fantasy Faire opens like a hour after the park opens so you can totally go straight there and be one of the first to get your pictures taken. Sure the line can be ridiculous at times but to those kids it is like waiting in line to see an A-List celebrity. After waiting your time in line you get to spend time walking down the royal walk...getting to stop every few feet and take pictures with random princesses. The only problem is that the princess you want to take pictures with may not necessarily be one of the princesses that is on the royal walk at the time you get there. It can be funny at times because you might have Ariel at the first spot and then say Snow White at the second stop and then Mulan or Pocahontas is at the third stop. You know the kids REALLY want to get their picture with Mulan...most of them do not even know who she is. I feel sorry for her sometimes. Oh well, whatever...she still is part of the Disney family...that is always magical. :0)

I love being able to meet more than one princess in one place, the Royal Hall. This in a way saves you time but I do know that on busy days, the line here can be long and the wait can be crazy for kids. Lucky for me, I have no kids and just have to bare with everyone's craziness (which is fun to watch when you are somewhat buzzed from drinking double pear martinis at California Adventures). I like to kill time here just people watching and trying to guess how long it will take for some parents to loose their patience. I like to also think of stuff I might ask the princess to enhance my interaction with them. The few times I've met them, the wait has been totally worth it. I've taken my puppy brother to meet the girls here and they love him as much as he loves them. I've never really felt rushed and I like how personal it feels to be in the room with just them and the photographer taking your pictures (no crowds watching you). This is a great spot for photos and also for those that collect autographs. I've been able to meet Cinderella, Snow White and Belle. You can ask Cinderella how Gus and Jaq are doing or how it feels like to ride a pumpkin. I like to always remind Snow White to not eat apples from strangers and ask her to whistle for me (she's pretty darn good). As for Belle, I've asked her what her favorite book to read is (or a book recommendation), I've also like to ask her what she thinks of Gaston and how Philipe is doing) Sometimes you might see Merida outside and ask her for a quick archery lesson. You might be able to catch the Frozen show at the Royal Theater (go early, it gets super crowded). If you get hungry, you are able to get a quick snack from Maurice Treat Cart. They sell some twisted snacks that look sort of like churros or bread sticks. If you feel like shopping, there is also a small shop, The Fairy Tale Treasure Shop filled with crowns, clothes and all sort of princess things. TIp: -There is a bathroom as you exit/enter the place over by Rancho del Zocalo that usually isn't very busy. -You might want to use flash in your pictures, it is a bit dark in the Royal Hall.

Step into an extension part of Fantasyland with the Fantasy Faire. Cross the bridge and come into a medieval village. As you walk into the village, you may immediately be drawn to the maypole in the Faire's square. The maypole is based on Rapunzel's tower from the movie "Tangled". To the left, you will find the Royal Theatre. Here, you can find two shows. One on Beauty and the Beast, the other on Rapunzel. These shows are in the style of how they would have presented them to the villagers in the 17th and 18th centuries. They are told with a narrator, the main characters, a piano player supplying the music, and themed stagehands. And there are no special effects as you might see in other theatre productions (like Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular) Just outside of the Royal Theatre is Maurice's Treats. Here, you'll find Strawberry Twists, Chocolate Twists, and Cheddar Garlic Bagel twists. For beverages, it appears to be Boysen Apple Freeze and water. To the right, near the side passage way to Fantasyland, is the Royal Hall where you can actually greet Aurora, Cinderella, and Ariel. The queue will take place in a covered area before you step inside. Once inside, there are three chambers, with a princess in each one of the three Several other items of interest here at the Faire are the animated Figaro on a windowsill. Every now and then the little bird in the cage will sing a song, waking Figaro up. But all Figaro wants to do is sleep. Another item is Clopin's Music Box. Turn the crank and hear "Topsy Turvey" as the "Festival of Fools" comes to life with animated painted flats For your Princesses shopping needs, Fairy Tale Treasures is the place to go. For trivia lovers, on the tallest steeple in the Faire, you'll find the crest with the letters CPG. Those are the initials of Carnation Plaza Gardens, the former occupant of the area before it was completely transformed into the Faire Once Disney took out the old Carnation Plaza Gardens restaurant, this area was so underutilized. So I think this area is much more appealing and deserving for the Disney Princesses instead of the old Fantasyland Theatre or the temporary Small World promenade. By transforming this area, it frees up the old Fantasy Faire by "it's a small world", which will be used once again as an amphitheater for "Mickey and the Magical Map"

Every little girl (and some adults) will have the new Princess Fantasy Faire attraction at the top of her list. Featuring meeting/autograph opportunities with the princesses, and a theather with Tangled and Beauty & The Beast shows this is the latest hotspot for those in their princess phase. LOCATION: As you walk down Main Street, it's immediately to the left of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. It's accessible from Frontierland, Main Street, or Fantasyland. DESIGN: Stepping into the Fantasy Faire is like stepping right into one of the princess fairytales. It's like the opening scenes in the small town from Beauty & Beast have come to life. ROYAL HALL: This is the main reason for most kids to stop here. After waiting in line (partially covered with fans for those hot summer days), you wind through the hall and get to meet 3 princesses (Aurora, Ariel, and Cinderella on our visit). The cast members do a good job of giving each kid adequate time with the princesses, with the kids never feeling hurried. Each princess took time to really speak with the kids, ask them questions, sign autograph books, give them a hug, and pose for a photo. If you have a little girl (or boy) that loves princesses this is a must see. I'm sure during peak seasons the lines here are going to be absurd. ROYAL THEATRE: Featuring a live keyboard player, a comedy duo tells one of two stories - Tangled or Beauty & The Beast - with the requisite princesses and cohorts involved as well in a fast-paced, humorous show that will please both kids and parents. Make sure to get there early especially if your kid wants a seat on the rugs in the front of the theather. MAURICE'S TREATS: We didn't buy anything here but the smells of baked goods was intoxicating. The speciality drinks come in a souvenir mug (looks like a wooden mug that Maurice or Gaston would use). FAIRY TALE TREASURES: This is yet another place where you can buy dresses and accessories for your little princess. It's like Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique-lite.

I can't believe that after how many time I've been to Disney that I never knew about this location =/. I thought for us to meet the princesses, we have to just be lucky and happen to come across them when we walk around the park. So this castle is where you can meet 3 princesses at a time!!! It is a one on one interaction separated by different section but you don't have to wait in 3 different lines! They will post the name of the princesses in the front of the line, 2 disclosed and 1 surprises. We happened to know about this because we were waiting in line for Belle and overheard one of the parents talking about it. The line was only about 15 minutes. The experience was very magical for my 4 year old. She squealed every time she turned the corner and see another princess. A must visit for all that are a fan of the princesses.

Pretty cool new addition, can't wait to meet my first princess (Amy would it noted that she is a princess)

It was definitely a lot smaller than I remembered now that I am an adult, but it was truly the perfect size theme park for toddlers. It's nice that pretty much everything is included, just a couple of things that cost extra, like food to feed the animals, souvenirs, arcade games, but mostly everything we wanted to check out was included. Our kids are 3 1/2 and 5 and pretty much enjoyed all the rides! The roller coaster is a little rough, but I think it just depends on your kid, since my younger one really enjoyed it. They have food available to buy in the center of the park and tables all around, making it really easy to just take a break to eat something. I like that everything is really close to each other, so you don't feel like you're walking around a maze to get around. I wouldn't even bother with a stroller because everything is so close to each other. The tickets are the same price for anyone above one year old. I do wish the kids tickets were a little bit cheaper, but other than that, I thought it was a pretty fair price, considering you'd probably pay the same amount for a similar type wristband for rides at a fair for example, and at least younger kids can ride all of these ones. You probably wouldn't be able to spend a whole day here because of the size but an afternoon or a morning is plenty, especially for this age range.

This place is the best option for kids and parents time…read more The rides are all them good Food is ok not going to lie but still hit the spot when need it I really recommend this for kids.

It opens during sun down AKA when all the other normies without event tickets get kicked out around 6 PM I believe and of course its an experience that is BEST in total darkness when the sun has already set. Despite going to Oogie Boogie for a couple years already, this was my first time ever going to Villain's Grove only by virtue of the line moving super fast (less than 15 minutes in our case) and that we reached the capacity of the amount of candy that we've already gotten from Trick or Treating. Since this experience has NO VILLAINS to meet NOR any candy to get, just make sure you have your priorities in check. Since any wait longer than that will cut into your precious Oogie Boogie time and that IS a sold out event most years, if not every year. This takes place at what usually is the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail and there's a slightly different route if you need ADA wheelchair accessibility. It's a neat experience with "geysers", candles, lights, fog, music, the simulation of rain and thunderstorms that give you a neat villainous vibe from familiar faces such as the Evil Queen, Maleficent, Scar, Dr. Facilier, etc. From an artistic perspective it's pretty neat how they pulled off some of the grove. Make sure to get a picture at the end of the grove when you enter the light. Very cool and dramatic photo for sure.

We went on the ferry wheel non swinging, we got off to find vomit all over the ground and staff were trying to clean it up and assist people around it. I didn't care for Goofy's Sky school, it was super jerky and I wouldn't go on it again. Soaring, Monsters Inc, Little Mermaid, Silly symphony Swing, and the Grizzly Rapids were awesome!!! Not to be missed! The best part is it rained while on Grizzly and we got to stay on and kept riding it as many times as we wanted to! Loved it!!! I really enjoyed the popcorn and IPA Beer after riding the rides. I love the professional photos, but Byron, needs to speed it up!!! I appreciate the photographers adding animals into our photos such a fun surprise!!! Very disappointing I didn't get to ride the Radiator Racers, it's ridiculous to charge patrons more money after you paid for the standard ticket than want to charge us for a single pass. I would suggest adding the feature ride to the lighting lane! The lighting lane needs to be a simpler process!!! We missed Molly the Messenger, we asked several people if they saw her! Hopefully we can get a package or mail next time! We did get a locker for $10 per day. You can go in & out of the locker all day! Good idea to bring extra clothes or shoes & socks if you go on Grizzly Rapids - you will get soaked!!! It was a great day and look forward to coming back!!

This was our family's second visit to Great Wolf Lodge, and overall, we had a wonderful time…read moretogether celebrating our daughter's birthday! Booking: We originally booked a two-day, one-night stay in the spring but had to cancel due to an emergency. Thankfully, we were able to keep our payment as a credit to use within a year. When we decided to rebook, I had to call to use the credit. The phone wait was extremely long, so my advice is to call as soon as they open. Also, check their website for discounts before calling because the reservation representatives won't necessarily look for those deals for you. Arrival and Parking: Parking was easy in the large garage. You pay for parking based on the number of nights you're staying, and then you're free to come and go. We arrived around 10 a.m. and completed pre-check-in. They let us know we'd receive a text when our room was ready. There wasn't anywhere to store our luggage, so we left everything in the car. Thankfully, luggage carts were available near the garage elevators. Our Room: We reserved the Wolf Den suite, which has a queen bed and a separate bunk-bed area for the kids. We loved that the girls had their own little space! The queen bed felt small since we're used to a king at home, but the bigger issue was how loudly it creaked on my husband's side. Every time he moved during the night, it woke me up. The room was also surprisingly dark. There were a few lamps and lights near the beds and sink, but they didn't provide much overall lighting. We were close to the elevators, which was convenient because we didn't have to walk down those long hallways. However, we could hear people talking and making noise in the hallway. Thankfully, we brought our sound machine, which helped us sleep. We also discovered that our TV remote was missing a battery. We tried calling the front desk several times without an answer, so my husband had to walk downstairs. Once he spoke to someone, they came up to help within minutes. Water Park and Activities: The water park was a lot of fun! I highly recommend visiting when schools aren't on break because the crowds and wait times are much more manageable. Most of the water attractions are fairly tame, although there's a four-person raft slide that's pretty intense. Only two of the four of us enjoyed that one! There were renovations happening during our visit, but we also noticed some new activities, including mini golf and a ropes course. My husband and the girls spent about an hour on the ropes course and absolutely loved it. We also decided to check out the bowling alley, and a kind stranger surprised us by giving us free tokens. Bless her heart! We were able to play a round before heading to the water park. The bowling balls are smaller and easy for kids to handle, and the lanes have bumpers, which makes it a great family activity. We had a lot of fun! Of course, we also stopped by the arcade, which is always a hit with our family. Towels are provided at the water park, but you need to return them before leaving. There's also a shop selling swimsuits, water shoes, goggles, and other essentials. We forgot our girls' goggles and bought the least expensive ones there, but unfortunately, they broke almost immediately. Food: We ate at several restaurants during our stay. Hungry as a Wolf continues to be a favorite! We ordered pizza and wings through the Great Wolf Lodge app while enjoying the water park. The food was ready quickly, and we received a text when it was ready for pickup. We were able to bring it into the water park, which was very convenient. For dinner, we tried the Timbers Table & Kitchen buffet because the girls really wanted to eat there. The food was okay, but I didn't feel it was worth the price. The main benefit was not having to leave the resort. On Saturday, we had lunch at Buckets Burgers & Bites on the upper level of the water park. We ordered using the nearby touchscreen, and the food came out quickly. We had a burger, kids' chicken nugget meals, and chicken tenders with fries. Everything tasted good! Seating was somewhat limited, but we managed to find spots near the bar. Before leaving, we stopped at Wood's End Creamery for ice cream. My daughter and I had vanilla soft serve, and our other daughter chose birthday cake. My vanilla wasn't particularly good, but it was a nice final treat before heading home. Overall: Great Wolf Lodge is a fun place for a family getaway, especially if your kids enjoy water activities. We loved spending time together, and the girls had a wonderful time. There are definitely areas that could use improvement, particularly the room comfort, lighting, reaching the front desk, and the value of some dining options. But despite those frustrations, we made some great memories and enjoyed our stay!

Once it stopped, I got her off and spoke with a manager, but I left without confidence that the seriousness of what happened had been addressed. How can parents trust a ride when the employees operating it appear unable to stop it in an emergency? This was one of the most frightening experiences I've had as a parent. Based on what we experienced, I would not bring my daughter back.

Who doesn't love corny jokes? Well, the Jungle Cruise is your place…read more Let's start, shall we? Looks like we are going on for Nile after Nile and after Nile, and if you don't think so, you're in denial. On your right, you'll see our limestone formations. Most people take it for granite.........That joke rocks! Now you don't see that every day, but I do....Every seven minutes. No need to worry, ladies; these are MAN-eating piranhas! This is the Britney Tribe. I sure hope they don't hit me one more time with their Britney Spears. Now we will take an unnecessary right, followed by an unnecessary left; also on the left, you'll see where Walt ran out of money. Don't worry, I'll scare him off (The Hippos). I LOVE YOU! Yup, works on all the men in my life. Here we see the natives celebrating the solstice; let me see if I can translate.... You put your left foot in. You put your left foot out. You put your left foot in. IDK folks, sounds like a lot of hokey pokey to me. Hey! On your right is Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Four-Hour-Line The cool jungle mist is home to more than 10,000 forms of bacteria .......the backside of water is home to more than 10K forms of bacteria Oh look, everyone! That family of lions is protecting that exhausted zebra! Can you feel the love tonight? I sure can. He's dead.........Tired! Dead Tired! And here we have an unfortunate scene which demonstrates the first rule of survival in the jungle: Don't be the zebra. MY FAVOURITE ONE BEFORE I LEAVE YOU! These hippos are only dangerous when they are wiggling their ears and blowing bubbles, but Bubbles isn't here tonight, so I think we are safe! NOW FOR THE END OF THESE JUNGLE JOKES. On behalf of myself and the CA Prison Work Release Program, thank you. It's not a job. It's a second chance As you leave, watch your head and watch your step; if you miss your step and hit your head, watch your mouth. "Well folks, we've reached the end of our journey. I'd tell you to get out... but Disney prefers I say, 'Please watch your step as you exit the boat.' Thanks for being such a wild crew, and remember--if you liked my jokes, my name is Skipper Eric. If you didn't... my name is Skipper Jim. Have a wild day!"

This was not at the top of my favorite things to do at Disney. It was a fun way to kill a bit of…read moretime but, in the future I might skip. You can feel the age on this as there seem to be bits not working. Would be a good time for a refresh!
