    Hollywood Land is located in Disney California Adventure. It's the first area you walk through during rope drop for park opening. There is a lot of activities and entertainment at Hollywood Land. Monsters, Inc Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! (Ride) Sorcerer's Workshop (Activity inside the Animation Studio) Mickey's PhilharMagic (3D show - it has a variety of magic worlds and music from some of Disney's classics like Aladdin and Coco!) Disney Jr. Dance Party! (Entertainment show - with Mickey Mouse and friends! My husband and I were visiting during the Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon, and there was a Halloween themed show playing! It was awesome!) Turtle Talk with Crush (Show where you get to ask Turtle Crush questions! It's a 15 minute show, and it's totally new each time you watch it since all of the questions are unique!) Animation Academy (Sketch a popular Disney Character. This runs every 30 minutes. You also get to keep your sketch!) The Hyperion Theater is currently closed. The outside waiting queue is currently being used for an Outside show, Deadpool Story Time. There's a lot of different places to eat at in Hollywood Land Award Wieners Schmoozies! ( This is my favorite place to get milkshakes!) Studio Catering Co Hollywood Lounge Fairfax Market I think this area also has the most stores to shop at! All of the stores are located as soon as you walk from the theme park gate on the right and left side. The stores have a wide range of apparel, toys, and so much more! Hollywood Land is one of my favorite areas at Disney's California Adventure! There are just so much activities in Hollywood Land, that you could spend half of your day in this area!

    When visiting Disney California Adventure (DCA), the Hollywood Land is very iconic! Definitely feel like you are transported back to the old Hollywood days. There are a few dining options, shops, and scenic sights to see here. Though it is not my favorite in the park for theming, it is still a must see when visiting DCA!

    This area mimics the look of a city in a backlot of a 1930s Hollywood studio. It extends to the Guardian of the Galaxy attraction. So it's quite the visual to see Tanileer Tivan's Citadel towering in the background. Disney Animation Academy: It's a neat place to check out, at least once. The lobby was open in June. But they weren't providing the cartoon drawing lessons for the obvious reason. You can view sketches of familiar Disney characters on the wall and watch short animation reels on overhead screens. I popped in here to get some air conditioned relief from the heat. Rides: + Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue ride. It's a super cute ride. But it's all by it's lonesome tucked away in the curbed if Hollywood Land. - Red Trolley. Some consider this to be a ride, I don't. But it wasn't running when I visited and I believe it is temporarily not operating still. Entertainment: - Hyperion Theater. Before COVID, the live musical performance of Frozen was going strong. The theater is currently closed indefinitely though. The theater queue area is now used as an outdoor dining patio. Food: + Award Wieners is a walk up food booth. 4 words... Carrot cake funnel fries. This is the only place in both parks that serve those suckers. - Fairfax Market. They sell sliced fruit, mandarins, whole pickle... stuff like that. But it was closed in June. - Carthay Circle Lounge. It's a dine in service restaurant. Reservations needed. Tips: + For cool selfie photo opps, they have several spots. (1). There is the classic wall with the street painted on it. Very Roger Rabbit-ish. (2) Captain America wings and shield. (3) Wanda Vision TV set couch with classic TV box frames. It's next to the Marvel Adventure stage. (4) Hollywood Backlot Stage. The back drop is a colorful light up board. During the day, Disney characters make an appearance. It's across the way from the Back Lot gift shop. Shopping: Visit the Backlot shop. The featured item is Avengers Campus gear. Even if you're not a shopper... go take a selfie next to a life size Iron Man and Spider Man, PYM enlarged can of soda and straw, etc!

    Mike & Sulley to the Rescue was fun as well, riding the taxicabs and quoting character voices, as we explored their town of Monstropolis!

The staff was friendly and we had a great time. Little touches like the Fog Factory and the round-the-park train really made the experience better. It generally has the same energy and mood as Disneyland, just much smaller and easier to navigate. The closer your kids get to 10, the more uncertain I am that it would be the best choice, but for toddlers it's heaven and for a decent price. The only downside is that the rides were sometimes understaffed, especially toward closing when we were no longer able to make the most of the park because several rides were abandoned 30-50 minutes before closing. Food is also and . Water is ***$4.50 a bottle*** But it was great and we would come back.

The rides are definitely fit for my precious girl. She did not want to leave. The only negative I would say is that the arcade is waaay too loud.

We were able to get on so many rides, and almost every ride we went on was around a 30-minute wait, which made the day so much more enjoyable. The food and snacks were delicious! I had the cream cheese and jalapeño stuffed pretzel, and it was SO good. I also tried the Coco Brew coffee in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and it was delicious! The only downside was the customer service from quite a few employees. Unfortunately, several employees came across as rude or unhappy, and we felt rushed while getting onto some of the rides. I understand that working at a busy theme park can be stressful, but I feel like the experience would have been even better if the employees were more welcoming and patient with guests. Disney is known for its exceptional customer service, so this definitely stood out to us. Overall, we still had a great day. Beautiful weather, manageable wait times, lots of rides, and delicious food made it a fun visit. Hopefully, the employee experience improves because that would really make the Disneyland experience even better!

Disneyland still maintains all of its MAGIC throughout each experience - delicious food, wonderfully coordinated parades, beautifully decorated atmosphere, top quality entertainment (fireworks, dapper dans, Disneyland band, character meet & greets, etc), lots of fun merchandise, & friendly + helpful cast members. Their seasonal foods, seasonal decor, & seasonal entertainment makes the park fun year-round as well! They're always introducing something new which gives people incentive to return - example: new theme park rides, new foods, new nighttime shows, etc. Out of all theme parks, Disneyland is ALWAYS WORTH THE MONEY! Plus, you get a good amount of time when coming here - it opens early at 8am AND closes at midnight (whereas other amusement parks like sea world or Legoland are only open 8 hours and lack the man power to provide high quality service & entertainment)! Always a 10/10 experience!

    Visited Great Wolf Lodge for the first time and purchased a day pass for around $40 per adult on a…read moreFriday. Parking is $35 for the day, or $10 for the first two hours plus $5 for each additional hour. I appreciated that the parking structure is covered. One thing that surprised me was how warm and humid the indoor water park felt. The temperature is kept at 84 degrees, which makes sense for swimming but it was a little muggy and took some getting used to. There are several different play areas that help spread out the crowds. We spent most of our time in the toddler/young kids' section, which was perfect for little ones. The kids also had a great time in the outdoor play area. We rented a cabana for the day and thought it was well worth it, especially for larger groups since open seating can be difficult to find. Our cabana included bottled water in a mini fridge, a small locker, two lounge chairs, a dining table, a couch, towels, and thin curtains that could be closed for a little extra privacy (although they are somewhat see-through). Overall, we had a great experience. It's a fun destination for families year-round since the indoor water park stays warm regardless of the weather. We also played a round of mini golf outside, and the ropes course looked like a lot of fun for older kids and adults. We'd definitely come back.

    LONG REVIEW AHEAD!…read more We took our daughter to Great Wolf Lodge for her 4th birthday, and it ended up being the perfect little getaway. We stayed one night, arriving Saturday morning and leaving Sunday around noon, and honestly, that was just the right amount of time. A quick tip before you book. I called instead of booking online so I could make sure every available discount was applied. If you're an educator (like me), military (active, retired, or veteran), first responder, nurse, medical provider, government employee, or fall under the Howling Heroes program, there's a discount. The savings were significant. Also, add the Wolf Pass when you book. It's cheaper than waiting until check-in, and we definitely got our money's worth. Now, check-in... whew. It felt like we were checking bags at the airport. Be prepared for a line. The water park opens at 10:00 a.m., but rooms officially aren't ready until 4:00 p.m. You can utilize the park while you wait for your room! We checked in around noon and got lucky. Our room was ready around 1:30, which was a pleasant surprise. I skipped the birthday package because, for us, it wasn't worth the cost. Instead, I ordered decorations from Amazon and decorated our room and the front door while my husband kept our daughter busy at the water park. Seeing her face when she walked in made it 100% worth it. The best way I can describe Great Wolf Lodge is this: it's like a mini Vegas for kids. There is always something happening. Download the app before you go because it makes planning your day much easier. Some activities were better than others. We weren't impressed with Meet the Pack or Story Time. It honestly gave low-budget Chuck E. Cheese character energy. We went once and that was enough. The water park, though? That's where the fun is. Our daughter spent most of her time in the kiddie area, where she could safely explore with us close by. The wave pool was another favorite. Every time you heard the howl, everyone knew the waves were about to start, and the excitement never got old. We also spent time at the outdoor pool, which was just as enjoyable. The Wolf Pass kept us busy. We played mini golf and bowling together, and we made sure to check off just about everything included. One thing to know about the Build-A-Bear experience. The pass covers only the bear. If your child wants clothes, accessories, or even the little carrying box, those are extra. The box alone was $2. We packed our own drinks and snacks, which saved us a little money. For dinner, we ordered the large Honey Pepperoni pizza, and it was actually really good. Before heading home Sunday morning, we grabbed Dunkin' Donuts downstairs, which made for an easy breakfast before the drive back. Overall, this was such a fun birthday trip. Our daughter had an absolute blast, and so did we. We'll definitely be back. One overnight stay was enough to do a lot without feeling rushed, and we left with a very happy four-year-old, which is all that really mattered.

The turf is ripped, full of holes, and in rough shape on pretty much every hole. We honestly considered turning around and asking for a refund, but our kids were so excited to play that we stuck it out rather than crush their little mini-golf dreams. The staff was genuinely friendly, so no complaints there--they were the best part of the experience. I can't speak for the other attractions, but if you're coming for mini golf, I'd recommend spending the extra few bucks and heading to Holy Moly at the Spectrum instead. At least there, the biggest obstacle is the course--not whether the carpet will survive another round.
