    The Hungry Bear outdoor patio covering
    Lillian W.

    Critter country is a small theme area within Disneyland. You get there by passing the Haunted Mansion or through Frontierland. To me it is a bit hidden. It has tons of shade due to the multitude of gorgeous trees. Attractions + Splash mountain: A hare-raising themed water ride. It's fast moving with a 5 story water drop at the end into the thorny briar patch. Smile, your pic is taken right before the drop. +Davy Crockett canoe rides: Oh my goodness, this was an actual canoe that you sit and physically row. I didn't see the crazy huge canoes that held Duggard size families. I saw those pre-pandemic. I only saw 6-8 person canoes. So you gotta row, no lazy pretending. There is one Disney staff in front aggressively rowing and then 4-6 guests with another Disney staff in the last spot. That person is maneuvering his/her to oar to guide the canoe. +Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: The ride is closing indefinitely on July 5, 2021, for so called refurbishments. Homage to retired Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and County Bear Jamboree are scattered throughout this ride. Inside Owl's treehouse are portraits of Mr. Toad and his Wind in the Willow pals. There is a portrait of Mr. Toad handing over the property deed to Owl. Another portrait is of Mole visiting Pooh. Max-the Deer, Melvin-the Moose, and Buff-the Buffalo from the Country Bear Jamboree are hidden in the Hunny Heaven Room. That's the scene right after the Heffalumps and Woozles. FYI: Delores the Octopus from the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown ( a show that has been long retired), is in the Guardian of the Galaxy ride. She is located in the maintenance room before the gantry lift. The maintenance room is after you exit the Collector's office, that is room that Rocket snuck into and explained your part of the mission. Dining +Hungry Bear restaurant: It was closed for the week when I was there. But the outdoor covered patio dining area was open. Great spot to sit in the shade and relax. It overlooks the River of America so you can see the Mark Twain Riverboat pass by. It is next to Splash Mountain. +Harbour Galley: It is a restaurant along the waterfront. It is modeled like a wooden fishing shack. I had no clue if it was open during my visit. I didn't look. Shops +Pooh Corner: This candy counter is the only place that sells Tigger tails in Disneyland. But I wonder if that will be true after the Pooh ride is closed. You can watch the candy makers make the tails. The tails are chocolate dipped marshmallows that are skewered together and covered in orange colored sugar crystals with piped chocolate stripes. Also they sell Mickey ears that can be personalized. Ohh the fudge here is divine. Yum! +Fruit stand: Pickle, grapes, mandarins, fruit juices, sliced mangoes, and bottled sodas and water on ice.

    Critter Country is where Winnie the Pooh lives. Yup him and his friends. My sister is a fan of Pooh and Piglet (she calls him piggy bro). Its not big compared to Toontown etc. But it does have a pretty cool ride if you want to see Pooh dream. Very cute area. The train doesn't stop at Critter Country but it does go through a mountain in Critter Country that you get to see the little cute critters in their home. Its pretty cool.

    Critter Country is such a cute area in Disneyland! It is kind of hidden and you can get to it on the path from the where New Orleans Square passes by the Haunted Mansion on your way to Splash Mountain. This area started out as an Indian themed area, then was Bear Country, and is called Critter Country today. It has a very woodsy feel, as if you are visiting the Northwest! This area has Splash Mountain, which is by far the draw to this area, and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I love Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore, too! Included in this area are the Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes, which are closed until the new Star Wars expansion is done. There isn't a whole lot here. You used to be able to see the Country Bear Jamboree, which closed in 2001. There is a bakery, a couple of shops, and one restaurant. You must go to the bakery/gift shop called Pooh Corner. You can buy Marshmallow Wands - Tigger Tales, Mickey or Minnie Mouse ones here, which are chocolate covered marshmallows on a stick. They are made behind a glass windowed room where you can watch the workers at work. I overheard a worker tell a visitor that the room is super cold, so the chocolate will set up pretty fast. There are lots of treats to check out here! Pooh Corner & Briar Patch are merchandise shops. The restaurant is called Hungry Bear. There is also a spot called Winnie the Pooh & Friends, where you can meet and greet and take pictures with the characters from Winnie the Pooh. The day I was there, I saw Pooh and Eeyore. Eeyore is the coolest! All in all, this is a small area that has something for the most. The only way out of here is going the way you came in.

    Greet Tigger with a BOUNCE AND HE WILL BOUNCE WITH YOU!

    Had a great time at Knott's Berry Farm with my family! We went on a pretty hot day, so we were…read moredefinitely prepared for the heat, but overall we had a really enjoyable experience. One thing that surprised me was that the wait times for the rides weren't as bad as I expected, especially considering how busy the park can get. We were able to get on quite a few rides without spending the entire day standing in line, which made the visit much more enjoyable. There's a good mix of rides and attractions for both kids and adults, so everyone in the family was able to find something they enjoyed. We also loved walking around the park and taking in the atmosphere. Even with the heat, there were plenty of places to take a break and cool down. Overall, it was a fun family day and a great way to spend time together. The heat was probably the biggest challenge, but it didn't take away from the experience. We had a lot of fun and would definitely come back again!

    If I could give no stars I would. We (AIE Tours at Knotts…read moreand I) have been in contact several times in the last 6 months, as I had tried to schedule bringing my senior citizens to Independence Hall for a visit. Initially I was told that they needed to pay a $55 park entry to have guided tours. That seemed silly for 85+ year olds since they would not be entering the park, so I was then told that self-guided tours were available. This is where it gets wonky. And where I'm honestly super angry. I scheduled for two of our communities to bring 23 people to Independence Hall for a self-guided tour yesterday (Thursday, September 10th). I contacted the tour department by phone on Wednesday, stating that I was bringing said seniors to an unguided tour the following day and asked if there was a better place for us to unload. We had a long conversation about where we could unload the residents that was closer to Independence Hall (BTW there is nothing for them). Imagine my frustration when we get to the parking lot and the attendant tell us that Independence Hall is closed for renovations (which apparently is not true). Are you freaking kidding me? We drove 45 minutes and my sister community drove even longer from RPV to come to see Independence Hall. Do you not think it would have been wise for the representative to let us know that it was closed? I researched it while I was having lunch with the residents at the at the restaurant. (Imagine driving 45 minutes just to eat lunch...) I could be wrong but NO WHERE on your site does it say that Independence Hall is closed. I finally googled it when I got back to work and found out from a 3rd party that this began September 2 and that going forward it is only open Saturdays and Sundays 'for budget reasons'. I have been an activity director at this high end community for 21 years. in that time, we have gone all over SoCAL from San Diego to Simi Valley and everywhere in between. I have NEVER has such a massive fail. You guys have screwed all of this up more than I can understand. We will not be back, and you just lost a long time fan of Knotts. Sidenote: Mrs. Knotts Chicken restaurant was delish and the staff was amazing. Still not worth 90 minutes round trip.

    I haven't been to Disney California Adventure since it first opened in 2001, and a LOT has changed…read morein 25 years! I took a solo trip and had an excellent day despite a few hiccups along the way. The first thing I did was book it over to the Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission BREAKOUT ride. I got incredibly lucky. The Lightning Lane reservations were basically booked until almost 9 PM, and the standby wait was around 90 minutes. The Cast Member working customer service noticed I was by myself and worked a little Disney Magic to get me on. I really appreciated that! Easily one of the best rides in the park. I loved the reimagining of the old Tower of Terror and had an absolute blast. I tried to make it up front to meet Oswald, but his meet and greet suddenly disappeared from the app. I really wanted to meet him, but it's all good. I'll have to catch him on my next visit to California. The exact same thing happened with Black Panther. My top two character meet and greets canceled on me! That's probably my biggest complaint of the day, but let's be real, it's definitely a #FirstWorldProblem. Radiator Springs Racers had about a 70-minute wait, and you have to purchase an Individual Lightning Lane if you want to skip the regular line. Thankfully, the Single Rider line was only about 20 minutes, so I threw my Galaxy Buds in and thugged it out. Worth it! Cars Land itself is also incredibly immersive and beautifully designed. Walking around actually made me want to go back and watch the Cars movies again. Next, I kicked it over to Pixar Pier and rode the Incredicoaster. Easily one of my favorite rides between both Disneyland parks. It is so much fun from the moment you're strapped in and launched off to the sound of Dash's voice. 10/10. Loved it! Definitely grab a Lightning Lane because that line gets long FAST. Afterward, I saw Baymax was doing a meet and greet and hopped in line literally right before he went on a 15-minute break. After waiting, Baymax came back out with Hiro! I've never met Hiro at Disney before and honestly didn't even know he did meet and greets, so that was a really nice surprise. Then I went to ride Toy Story Midway Mania, but it broke down for the day after I had already waited about 20 minutes in line. Y'all, my luck was fluctuating UP and down all day. Haha. I wrapped up the day with Goofy's Sky School and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. Sky School broke down too, but thankfully it came back up pretty quickly. I had a Lightning Lane and was already near the front. That being said, I probably would not ride it again. It was way too rickety for me, and my head kept knocking against the back of the seat. WEB SLINGERS was basically the same experience I had at Disneyland Paris, except this time it was in English, so I could actually understand the backstory of the ride! If you like Marvel and/or video games, it's definitely a must ride. Come to think of it, this ride broke down for a little while too. The Disney mechanics were OFF that day! Thankfully, these days everybody has earbuds and smartphones, so the extended waits didn't bother me too much. I ended the day with seeing Goofy and Mickey and some souvenir shopping for family and friends. Something about a Disney visit isn't complete to me without seeing Mickey Mouse! He was as energetic and effervescent as ever. He loved my Oswald the Rabbitt shirt. :) All in all, I had a great day and would absolutely come back again. There are still rides I didn't get to experience, and hopefully next time I can finally catch the Oswald and Black Panther meet and greets I missed. California Adventure has seriously stepped its game up since I first visited as a kid in 2001. Twenty-five years later, it feels like an entirely different park, and I had a great time exploring it all over again.

    The kids had a great time, and our party host was wonderful. This review is not about the staff…read more Our party host was friendly, helpful, and did a great job keeping the party running smoothly. My frustration was with the way management handled changes to party packages. I booked and prepaid for my son's birthday party in June (for a July party) during a promotion. Before the party, I even called the party hotline twice to go over the details of my reservation, and at no point was I told that the attraction tiers had changed or that there would be optional upgrades available. When we checked in with seven excited kids ready to play, I was told I would need to pay additional fees as their packages had changed. Mind you, I had already paid the $200 for the party in June. I had to pay $35 for an extra kid because the new package included 5, not 6 kids. In addition, I had to pay an additional $9 per child if I wanted everyone to have access to the attractions they wanted to use. That wasn't the time to be making an unexpected spending decision, and realistically I wasn't going to tell a group of kids that some of them couldn't participate. (I was prepared to pay for one extra kid and an extra pizza). We ended up paying $360 instead of the $260 I had budgeted. To add to the confusion, I also didn't receive the balloons that were included with my party package. After reaching out to management, they explained that the attraction tiers had changed after I booked and clarified how the pricing worked. While I still think the communication leading up to the event could have been much better, I do appreciate that they took the time to respond, acknowledged that the communication wasn't clear, and offered two complimentary Unlimited Play passes and a large pizza as a goodwill gesture. My suggestion to Urban Air would be simple: if party packages change after customers have already booked, proactively notify them before their event. It would avoid confusion, unexpected charges at check-in, and allow parents to make informed decisions before arriving with a group of excited kids. What would be even better is that when you book a package, you are locked into that price and details instead of it changing. I would be really hesitant to book another party here because I wouldn't know what price I would ultimately be paying day of. Overall, the kids had a blast, and we'd likely return to play. I just hope the communication around birthday parties improves, because that's what took away from an otherwise fun celebration.
