Disney knows how to run a park. We had a great morning here and then went to Disneyland. We wish we had more time. For some advice, read my review of Disneyland. Enjoy!!!

Travel to the 11th Century at Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. In SoCal, home to so many theme park and family entertainment destinations, one stands alone for its unique and grand scale entertainment. Where else can you enter a European style castle and be immediately transported to the 11th century? Where else can you dine on a feast fit for a King while cheering your favorite knight to victory as he skillfully jousts and swordfights his mighty opponent while atop a magnificent Andalusian stallion. This extraordinary destination is Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in Buena Park. It’s been entertaining guests since 1986. And if you haven’t yet experienced it, now is the time.

Our group of 6 adults really enjoyed this show and dinner. The food was brought out hot and tasty which is amazing considering how many people they have to prepare for and doing it up to 3 shows per day. Serving staff was attentive, friendly and efficient. There are many ways to spend your money on the numerous souvenirs and drinks! Very pricey but it is your decision as to spend or not. The highlight was catching a flower for my wife! Never expected to do that. The horses are amazing and the show is pretty well done.

This park was opened in June and our family loves coming here. There is a nice walking path and exercise equipment around the perimeter. There are multiple play areas for kids including a splash pad. There are two basketball 1/2 courts, 4 tennis courts (still waiting for one to be netted), skatepark and a baseball field. There are sheltered picnic tables with coal BBQs and sinks and other tables throughout the park. There is also an indoor "club house" people can reserve and a stage. The city also has community classes here. There has a park attendant on duty although appear busy and skatepark rules have not been enforced when we've been there. The park closes and is locked strictly at 8 pm. I love this park and hope people keep it clean for everyone's enjoyment. Thank you Stanton!

Expectations were high for the entire family and Disneyland did not disappoint.
We’d been to Disneyworld in FL but never Disneyland. We really liked the smaller size of Disneyland. The weather was perfect during the day but got chilly at night. Not sure what we were thinking but we didn’t bring enough layers so most of us were pretty cold by the end of the day.

Our family was here visiting from Indiana this past Friday. We arrived at Knott's around 9:30, time to park and get in there by the 10am opening time. We were in for a rude awakening. The lines were EXTRAORDINARILY long, perhaps because off their Boysenberry festival? Anyway, they make you go through these very small security modules (obviously, security is to be expected) but after you complete that, you are let out into a very disorganized open "area" with no signs, ropes or visible directions. You have to "stumble" into the right line to gain park access. Crazy disorganized. Knott's has also put up white vinyl fencing around this "area" so that you have to stay in that corral type section and you cannot physically push or move the fencing in any manner because they are ZIP TIED together. What? Fire hazard anyone? At first glance, the patrons were a bit rough around the edges for me. Everyone that cannot afford Disneyland clearly comes to Knott's. At least today they did. The thing that REALLY sealed the deal for me and my entire family was my encounter with a man outside the exit/information area named 'Robert'. I (and my two young boys) was trying to find my cousins (two adults and three small children) ASAP. She had texted me panicking after being told that paying an additional $75/PER PERSON for Fast Pass wrist bands was the only way to really access the rides at all. We decided by phone to meet right at the exit and find a manager to speak with. Robert was an angry little man that preceded to STOP me and tell me I couldn't converse with my cousin through the gated area and I would have to go all the way around and wait in line to get in "like everyone" else. I was not attempting to go into the park in any way. I was trying to talk to my cousin who was pushing through a sea of people and visibly crying at this point. I remained calm and asked him very nicely to please radio either security or a manger to help us. We just wanted our money back so we could leave. Robert wouldn't help us at all. In fact, he COMPLETELY IGNORED ME & MY REQUESTS. He physically turned his BACK to us and wouldn't even look at us. Mind you, this was without actually knowing what we needed. Can you IMAGINE if that had been a real emergency? I was so appalled, I stared yelling at the top of my lungs to anyone who could hear me to please GET SECURITY OR A MANAGER RIGHT AWAY. Yes, Robert was still not looking at us or acknowledging us in any manner. It was disgusting, unethical behavior. Finally, a nice manager (Andrew) came running over to us. He apologized immediately and asked how he could help. I think I was still in shock from Robert's behavior. My cousin explained to Andrew that they had been sent to SEVEN different lines and spent hundreds of dollars and that we all just wanted our money back; the park was clearly a hot, over crowded mess and it wasn't physically safe to stay there. He complied immediately and took my ticket print outs and my other cousin (husband) inside to information and refunded all of our money in a polite and expedient manner. As I was leaving, I took a few photos and sent them to the Buena Park fire department. Hopefully they will get the message with a large monetary fine. I've also written a long, stern letter to guest relations, which I'm sure will go unanswered (honestly).
PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO ANYWHERE BUT KNOTT'S. This used to be a wonderful, quaint, calm amusement park. It may still be possible to enjoy in the very off season like January (?) My inherent fear is that if the employees ignore the guests, what would they do in a REAL emergency? Are the being safe? Are the rides being maintained and safe?? Do they care at all about their patrons safety and well being or is it all about cramming people in the park like sardines for that cash money flow?

It’s amazing how they’ve brought the world of Cars to life and make you feel as it you’re really in a southwestern landscape complete with ancient car fin-shaped flatirons! (But if you look really closely, you can see that a group of pigeons like to hang out on one of those formations. LOL.) This was easily our group’s favorite ride of the California Adventure park, and even my 75+ mother was up for going twice! It’s kind of like a cross between one of the storybook rides of Disneyland, and the Indiana Jones Adventure, although this doesn’t jerk you around as much as that ride does. You start off with a slow ride through some scenes from the movie, but you ride in a large stylized and independent vehicle (not like a regular roller coaster car) which holds up to six people, and you end with a race through that Cars scenery. It’s fun and is over way too quick. When we got to this ride, there was a 90-minute wait in the regular line, but the attendant said if our group of three used the single riders line and rode separately to help fill in the car capacity, we could get on much quicker. We did that and were through the line and riding within 15 minutes. We did the same thing later when there was a two-hour wait in the regular line and were riding within 30 minutes.

The show was filled with action adventure and loud noises and flashy lights. The food is hotel food. The shrimp skewer was good and the tres leches cake was yummy. We brought our 4-year-old and he had a good time. It was expensive but we were gifted a Groupon. We bought two drinks and was shocked at the $38 total, but you get to keep the souvenir glasses. Overall a fun time watching the adventure, but very pricey for okay food.
