We arrived around 11:20am, 20 minutes after opening and they were already diverting traffic to the Lighthouse down the street where they were offering free shuttle service to the RPV City Hall where the event is held. Lots more decorated cars and car trunks this year. Kids just move from trunk to trunk trick-or-treating, having a great, fun time. They have a couple food trucks, several bounces, games, face painting and we are currently awaiting the puppet show. My son is 13 and loves everything Halloween so I would say the event is definitely fine for kids of all ages who are of similar minds with a leaning more towards younger kids if your kids are "too cool" for something like this. Fortunately, my teenager isn't like that. Dogs are welcome. Thank you City of Rancho Palos Verdes for hosting a great event!

Finally!! After multiple visits at Disneyland, I had a chance to watch the show at the Royal…read moreTheatre Fantasy Faire at Disneyland while visiting Disneyland for the Halloween Half Marathon! It was pretty hot out, around 100, on a Saturday, when we were at Disneyland. There are multiple showtimes for the Royal Theatre Fantasy Faire! If you have the Disneyland Mobile application, you can check there for showtimes. My husband and I ended up watching the 12:30 show. The theatre is an open-air medieval-style tent next to Maurice's treats and near the entrance to Adventureland! The show is approximately 25 minutes long. It's all bench style seating, and there is no AC. It is fully covered, though! You can also sit on the floor near the performers, too! It was such a great show! Mr.Smythe and Mr. Jones are the hosts of the show! You'll either see Beauty and the Beast or Tangled. We ended up watching Tangled. You'll see actors portray Rapunzel and Eugene! Mr.Smythe and Mr. Jones will join in the actions of other characters from the movie and even as the evil Mother Gothel! This show is a lot of fun and great to stop at, especially if you're looking to take a break from the rides! There are a lot of funny scenes during the show, and the props used looked amazing! Next time, I'll try to watch the Beauty and the Beast if it's still being performed at The Royal Theatre Fantasy Faire!

The Royal Theatre is an open-air tent that holds little plays for everyone to enjoy. On our two…read moremost recent visits to the Disneyland Park we were able to catch two shows of "Tangled" featuring Rapunzel and Eugene (Flynn Rider). And who can forget the evil Mother Gothel. I felt that the show was well done highlighting all of the memorable moments from the storyline, so the actors and actresses alone deserve five stars. The low rating is for the way the ushers handled the crowd once the show ended. Once we stepped out of the tent and turned around, we had noticed that Rapunzel had come out in the front from the side of the stage to greet the guests who were fortunate to still be slowly exiting the theater. My daughter wanted to meet her as well, so we had asked the usher if we could step back in to meet her, but were told that we couldn't enter once we had exited. We had just exited and were maybe three steps out the of the theater. That is ridiculous. Instead we were told to go to the part of Fantasyland near the King Arthur's Carousel and Dumbo ride and wait in line for her at her tower. So we immediately dashed across the park to her tower to only find that the wait would be another forty-five minutes. So we waited. Fifteen minutes into our wait they closed off the back of the line saying that Rapunzel needed to head back to do her next show. When we finally made it in to "meet" Rapunzel, she looked rather frazzled and annoyed forcing a quick smile for the cameras with our daughter, not even engaging with us. First off, we had just come from the show and this Rapunzel looked nothing like the "Rapunzel" character in the show. Second, why doesn't Disney hire another girl to play Rapunzel so the girls don't have to rush back and forth and be so grumpy?! A not so happy experience in supposedly the happiest place on earth.

If you come to Knott's often then you know this is where they have the ice skating rink and put on…read morean amazing Christmas show. They have about 4 or 5 performances throughout the day but my advice is to get there early if you want a good seat. If the show has a start time of 1PM we would typically start waiting in line at around 12PM. Even then you probably won't be the first people in line but you will still get a good seat. Once the line starts getting long they start making people go up the ramp and start making line up there. Be aware if you start going up your whole party must be with you as they will not let anyone go up that is left downstairs. Be aware that in this are you must fill in all the empty space. People do try to cut to get to the front so just be aware of that. Once they open the doors you enter from all the way up top unless you are handicapped then you are let in downstairs. You can choose to sit up top which is still a nice view but if you want to be up close you will need to make your way down all the stairs to make it to the front. As far as the show for the 2024 season they did change it up and make a just a little bit more modern which I loved. The performers all did an amazing job and of course we all love seeing the peanuts characters perform on ice. It was a great show and I hope they keep it the same next year or if they do change it I hope it is for the better. I do miss the summer show that they used to put on in this theatre. I'm not sure why they got rid of it but I hope they bring it back one day. If you come here during the holidays this is a must see show for all ages.

This year's performance, entitled "Merry Christmas Snoopy" is quite brilliant! Tourists gain entry…read moreto Knott's Berry Farm and experience major adrenaline rushes when riding Knott's roller coasters. However during the months of November through the first week in January, there's and added treat: Snoopy on Ice. You do not have to pay an extra fee to watch this performance as it is included in the price of admission. Located in the southwest corner of Knotts' property is The Charles M. Schulz Theater. Showtimes vary depending upon the day of the week so be sure to pick up a schedule as you enter the park. It is not uncommon to see a long line stretching around the corner or to arrive 20 minutes prior to showtime only to discover that the arena is full. I highly recommend that you arrive 40 minutes to one hour before showtime to secure a seat. Once seated inside, the fun begins. The skating rink seems rather small but a lot is accomplished within this space. Charlie Brown and Linus will open the show, reviewing the rules for watching the performance: ex. no flash photography or video recording. Throughout the performance, you'll notice some religious undertones as recalled by Linus. A bit of a historical/patriotic tribute also takes center stage as figure skaters reenact scenes of soldiers returning from war in the 1940s. The music played in the background compliments each scene. It's absolutely beautiful! Snoopy is the star of the show and he is able to execute each move with ease. He never ignores the audience, often coming to three points on the stage (left, center, and right side) so that audience members can take photos during the performance. Snow (soap foam) falls from the ceiling to imitate snowfall during the winter season. Professional ice skaters perform moves effortlessly just like some of the best Olympians. The combination of talented professionals and Snoopy results in an unforgettable show that appeals to people of all ages from various walks of life. The most awe-inspiring/emotional part of the show is when Snoopy awaits the arrival of doves that fly toward him and land on the stage. Some might be startled as the doves fly over their heads, but it's truly a magical moment. Snoopy on Ice is a show that should not be missed if you are at Knott's Berry Farm during the winter months. Who doesn't enjoy watching trained professionals perform in an intimate setting with the help of "America's Favorite Beagle"? Merry Christmas Snoopy is a beautiful, uplifting performance that the entire family will enjoy.

I would highly recommend this beautiful grand theater with a drop curtain and LOTS of seating!! I would say especially if you're sore and tired and looking to relax! I know we were!

This pertains to when they used this as a line for the WandaVision photo spot…read more OK because they really needed better instructions and lighting at night. One of the fun features is to do the photo through the TV, but there's no hands-free setup for that, also the TVs were not lighted up so they would come out as dark frames against the backdrop. The hands free setup is literally a SLOT that you put your phone in and hopefully with your TIMER setting (since selfie sticks are not allowed) you can run back and forth and not make anyone else in line shoot stares of death as you check your photo again. JUST GIVE an EMPLOYEE GLOVES so they can take the photos for you, I'd say if I was at the meeting. Anyways, its a couch. and i guess you come out as color and the background is like B&W set? I think so, but my photos are all blurry.

This review is for Disney on Ice: Magic in the Stars…read more We came to the honda center for it, and felt like the stadium seating was larger and further with a smaller rink/stage, compared to Ontario's Toyota Arena. It was definitely a lot harder to see if you're seated too high up compared to Toyota Arena. The rink got colder as the show went on, so definitely bring a jacket. My kids didn't enjoy this show as much as the Frozen and Encanto one we saw last year. This show had very little special effects and more "couple" dances, but they all looked very similar after you see the first one or two. We did enjoy the cars performance because it was a little different, and then moana's act at the end. My daughter's favorite princesses are Elsa and Ariel, but Ariel never appeared for this show. There were 2 songs from Frozen 2 though! Even so, we had a nice afternoon here with the family.

3.5 star. Overall. Great event to bring small little kids…read moreto since there are lots of action and short segments of performances followed by one after another. Great for younger kids with shorter attention span, say pre-schooler and elementary kids. Personally, for me as an adult, it's not something I would watch on my own or if I'm going to attend with just fellow adult friends. The show feels a bit amateur and all over the place. I prefer performances with a better plot and theme that strongly ties in together. It's as if this show is put on for the sake of trying to lump in all Disney characters into one show however possible. But little kids like it and that's all that matters. Sacrifices of parenthood. The venue is "okay". Food is super expensive ($20 for 2 slices of pizza) and not even that good. No outside food allows whatsoever and you can't bring bags bigger than 8x5 or something small like that (they tell you on the website). Parking is $20.

If I had to be picky, the only problem was the wait in line to get in was about 1 1/2 hours but worth every minute. The beer garden helped with the waiting too. My advice is to go an hour early and check out the vendor booths and grab a cold one at the beer garden. Then when it's time for you to check in, you can be one of the first to go on the tour/maze. The Tour/maze is very interactive and plenty scary. I would definitely go again.

In searching for…read moreanother car show for the husband, I was surprised to find the Midsummer Mopars Car Show in West Covina, which happened to be on the same date. The drive from SCV didn't seem that long and the partial cloudy, cool summer day was perfect. The Sports Complex was easy to find. Upon driving up, there's friendly event staff at the entrance to direct people. As spectators, we were instructed to park directly across from the driveway entrance in a small dirt lot. There are no parking or admission fees. So many amazing Mopars! Most are new with many tricked out in very imaginative ways. Each Mopar club has a designated section. There's just a few classic Mopars. A DJ played music from the 80's, which we enjoyed. Food and drinks were available for purchase. They also had raffles for different prizes. The husband was happy to come across the Dodge Badassador. She told him to take whatever he wanted -- so he took one of everything, lol! And of course, we couldn't leave without adding a couple Mopar Car Show t-shirts to his collection. It was a really nice, well-organized show. The areas are clean, paved and flat for easy walking. Super friendly people. We'll be back next year!

The parade and festival had a really fun vibe overall, with some highs and a few confusing parts…read more We got super lucky right from the start--and found a parking spot in the neighborhood near Orange Street and Anaheim St., which is where the parade began before heading toward Long Beach City College PCC campus. It also wasn't overly crowded where we were, which made it a lot less stressful. The parade itself had some beautiful moments. The Cambodian pride was sooooo contagious--it was honestly the highlight. There were so many stunning traditional outfits, traditional music, and dancers that made the parade feel special and meaningful. That said, there were quite a few gaps between 'floats' - or parade participants, and at times it things just stopped altogether. At one point, the gap made us think the parade ended, so we left and went to the festival. We actually walked the parade route and the more festive and crowded part was closer to LBCC. The festival was lively with lots of things to check out. There were tons of food vendors (though the lines were pretty long), along with booths offering services and others selling different things. They also had a stage with music and dancers, which kept the atmosphere fun, and even a bounce house for kids. Be careful walking around the neighborhood...on our walk back to the car, the neighborhood had several homeless and sketchy folks trying to talk to my friend and I...just be aware. Overall, even with the slow pace of the parade, the cultural pride, performances, and festival atmosphere made it a worthwhile experience. Just wish I could've grabbed some yummy food. I stood in line for a bit..but it didn't move...so we decided to grab lunch elsewhere.
