    Pixar movie characters! We picked our spot to watch the parade just outside of A Bug's Land. Actually the parade route is most of the park and provides plenty of fantastic vantage points from which to view the parade. The route is longer than that of the parades in Disneyland. We didn't have to wait for 2 hours to secure a good spot to view the parade, there were definitely more guests in Disneyland than Disney CA Adventure. This parade showcased some favorite characters from Disney Pixar films such as Woody, Sulley and Mater, the Incredibles, Bug's Life, and Finding Nemo. I can't remember some of the names of the Disney characters but the littlest member of our group (niece) could name them all. oh my! Oh! Also, be prepared to get wet! I don't know why I was always a target every time these characters with water guns came by... I wasn't soaking wet but I was always picked on. You see, during warmer days all of the floats launch water and mist and I didn't know that! It was fun, though, a relief from the heat! I wonder what will they feature during cooler months... bubbles? Fun for all ages. This parade is about 45 minutes long and starts at the new Guardian's of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout in Hollywood Land. Enjoy! Review #0783

    The new parade at Disneyland all Pixar characters except for this viewing they were missing the UP float was wondering where it was maybe it was broken down that day who knows, anyways it was a fun parade fair warning almost all floats will squirt you with water. Overall a cute fun parade although in my opinion the tune is not as catchy as like Paint the Night or Main St Electrical Parade. Also no Disney characters no Mickey or Minnie in this parade.

    This is one of our favorite parades located at the Disney's California Adventure Park. This parade features fun and colorful floats and popular characters from a handful of their favorite Pixar films such as Monsters University, Toy Story, Cars and Finding Nemo. My daughter loves the fact that the floats also shoot little streams of water into the audience (pending the weather at the park and time of year) while tops of many of the buildings throughout the park release thousands of bubbles above the many spectators as the floats pass by. We have watched this parade numerous times, and have always enjoyed singing and dancing along to each film's catchy and very memorable tunes. The best is during the park's slow season or when we plan ahead to get a front row seat along the sidewalk in Hollywood Land where the parade first begins. You will not regret waiting early to see it! #15 / 100 Yelp 100 Review Challenge 2014

    Pixar parade! It's Sulli from Monsters Inc!

    The start of the parade begins at Tower of Terror and ends at Paradise Pier. What I love about being at Disney CA Adventure is its not as busy as Disneyland, so you're bound to find a good spot to enjoy the parade at 5:15pm. I found a clean and shaded area at the vineyard just behind the Grizzly River Run ride. Most people like to gravitate towards Hollywood Land to find a spot along the sidewalk. But you might get the sun in your eye. Cast members will kick the party off by calling for volunteers to learn a quick dance. Kids of all ages enjoy this part and get really into it making it a spectacle for most. The most memorable Pixar characters in the parade were Sulley from Monsters Inc and the green Army men, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Mr. Potato Head, and Slinky Dog from Toy Story. They all parade along the route with various dancers and to music. I swear these cast members have the best smiles ever. They're talented too! You don't get wet, but there are miniature bubbles that are sprayed from the street lamps. So much fun. Just makes it a magical setting! Grab a churro, maybe some popcorn, and a cold bottle of water before the show starts. Or, grab a beer from Karl Strauss at Cars Land and enjoy the show.

    Prepare to get wet cause some of the floats shoot out water! The parade is Super fun for kids to watch while the Pixar characters come out to play! Buy a snack, sit down and relax because this is a great way to rest your feet and take a break from the lines. It keeps your kids occupied and entertained.

    Very fun, saw in afternoon 3:30pm show, was delightful to see toy story, up, bugs life, incredibles, potato head, finding Nemo & dory, monsters, and others in this parade!

    Another Disney parade...it's more of a cavalcade than an actual parade. It's cute, about 10 minutes long with lovable Pixar characters such as Crush and The Incredibles. Be careful if you are watching it during the summer for it is known to get the first couple rows of guests watching the show wet! Overall its a cute parade, something that's worth your time if you happen to be at California Adventure. =0)

This is a project in which elementary, middle, and high school choirs and bands performed at Valencia High School in the city of Placentia, CA, in the morning, and were then invited to visit Knott's Berry Farm for fun and the award ceremony in the late afternoon. We were thrilled that both our Bishop Amat Choir and Bands took home four first-place trophies across four categories. Back to Knott's Berry Farm, this amusement park is so much fun. It is a large property, and there is so much to see, do, and enjoy a great, memorable time. On this day, when we visited the park, it was a bit crowded (but fun nonetheless) as numerous school-aged choirs and bands were there, and it was also opening day for Knotts' Soak City water park. Knotts had a promotion for ticket holders who visited both parks on the same day. The crowds were no problem whatsoever as we ALL managed to get on numerous rides, listen to music, eat ice cream, and have bartered fish tacos for dinner. The park is well-maintained, employees were all extremely friendly and helpful, and security can be seen throughout the park to ensure everyone's safety. My family and I chose to purchase standard annual passes, which were very affordable at $120.09 per pass. Interest-free monthly payments are a great option if you prefer not to pay for your season pass in one shot. Now that my family and I have annual passes with parking included, we will definitely visit often, if only to have lunch or dinner at the park.

Use a credit card to book your room, so you can use their quick check in line. Either way, make sure you take the exact card you use to book for checking in. Before you go, buy the discounted dining deal. You can only buy it in advance, and the food and drinks are pretty pricey, so you will spend $$$. I also suggest attaching your credit card to your wristband for convenience. We really enjoyed the pizza place onsite. We checked in on a Sunday and it was a bit crowded, but we managed to do it all in three hours. The kids loved the bunk bed, and my only complaint about our room is that the tub faucet leaked. The next day, we packed a bag with a change of clothes that we fit into a small locker for $12, and went back into the waterpark for a couple more hours. I recommend packing travel toiletries for a quick shower before leaving. They have plenty of showers, changing rooms, and a swimsuit dryer, but no toiletries in the waterpark bathrooms. Waterpark towels are provided and must be checked out and in or you'll be charged, so don't lose them. There's a water bottle refill station in the waterpark near the bathrooms. We didn't try many of the activities offered except for the arcade that offered packages starting at $35. Lastly, be sure to pay for parking before you leave. That was also $35. All in all, we got a deal on the room but spent more on food, drinks, games, and parking combined. My kids are 5 and 10, and they were able to go on just about everything that was open. One day was plenty of time if you don't plan on doing all of the activities.

The issue is not necessarily that every employee was rude -- the real problem is the completely broken system and lack of communication between departments. We booked THREE rooms for 18 guests for a birthday celebration and simply wanted to reserve and pay for a place where everyone could eat lunch together and celebrate with cake. Something that should have been straightforward became an exhausting process filled with confusion, conflicting information, and endless transfers between departments. The front desk had no idea about the policies of the events department. The front desk also had no clear understanding of pool policies. Every single question required someone to "leave a note" for another department and wait for an email response that never came. No callbacks. No follow-up. No accountability. The most frustrating part was trying to contact the front desk directly. First, you are forced through an AI system. Then you finally reach someone in the "reservation department," who is not even onsite. Despite politely asking multiple times to be transferred directly to the front desk, they refused and insisted they could help. They could not. Instead, they placed me on hold supposedly to ask the front desk themselves -- and after 11 minutes on hold, they never came back. At that point, yes, the reservation department representatives themselves became part of the problem: rude, dismissive, unprofessional, poorly trained, and completely incapable of resolving even simple questions. This company has far too many unnecessary departments that clearly do not communicate or work together. Planning an important family event here became stressful instead of enjoyable. I will never host another birthday event at Great Wolf Lodge again, and I would strongly caution families against wasting their time and money here for important celebrations.

It's always clean, there are many decent fast meal options, and it feels relaxing under the palm trees on springy days. Inside, you have so many options to game--from Mario Brothers to Space Invaders. You can fall down a video game rabbit hole here. Also, the bumper cars are lit up and Lazer Tag is calling all players. There's a cafeteria-style "common hall" serving up pizza, nachos, hot dogs, fries, and bevvies. Outside, the bumper boats are a refreshing way to cool down. You can see that the staff works hard at maintaining the grounds. There's always someone working on the many pools and water features when I go. Overall, the greens are in good shape. Sure, a ball may stick, but it's a game. Mulligans and astro turf hiccups are par for this course. Want to practice random kindness? If you see a bottle on the ground, feel free to recycle in the receptacle placed by the tee box. It's nice that they thought to have as many receptacles as they did. It really helps keep the place tidy. The staff is young & laid back yet attentive. One clean sweep across all 4 courses at the opening of each AM shift, however, could help keep it 100% litter-free. See, I warned you--I had nothing but good things to say about Camelot Golfland. Will be back! Once I get the go again from my Sir Lancelot to brave the journey to Anaheim, we'll return for a 6-minute tournament to ride the Go Carts like chariots.
