About Disney’s “Moana”: From Walt Disney Animations Studios comes Moana, a sweeping film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana meets the mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity. Rated PG.

About Disney’s “Mulan” (1998): Clever Mulan proves her worth outside of her tradition-bound society when, disguised as male soldier “Ping,” she bravely takes her father’s place in China’s Imperial Army. Helped by her outrageoulsy funny guardian dragon Mushu and a lucky cricket named Cri-Kee, Mulan strives to earn the respect of her fellow warriors and their courageous Captain Shang. Mulan’s adventures lead to a climactic battle atop the Imperial Palace, where her family’s honor and the fater of the Emperor and all of China rests in her hands. Rated G.

Knott’s Peanuts Celebration 2022

Peanuts Celebration at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA!

The Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration invites you to step into the iconic world of Charles M. Schulz comic strips as the characters take over the entire theme park with special activities for everyone, taking place daily through March 6th. This limited-time fun event welcomes fans of all ages to join in on the excitement with family-friendly options to play and interact with the PEANUTS Gang throughout the park. The celebration features a new stage show, a new Charles Schulz exhibit, plenty of new PEANUTS-inspired food items, and last but not least, a brand-new walk-around character to join in on the fun!

Of course you should know me by now, one of my FAVORITE things at any celebration like this is the FOOD! My favorite sweet treat, hands down was the Lucy’s Kit Kat Fingers Funnel Cake (this is only served on the weekend though). This is a HUGE treat so it is perfect for sharing with the whole family! It is a total party on a plate!

Our favorite savory dish was the Grande Mac – Sloppy Joe with Mac & Cheese. It IS messy so make sure to grab LOTS of napkins!

There are TONS of other fun things going on besides food. At the Calico Mine Stage, the PEANUTS characters will be debuting a brand-new musical for guests with It’s Your Life, Charlie Brown. During the day, Charlie Brown gets the shock of his life on the game show “It’s Your Life!” There will be music, fun and surprise guests, including the world’s most famous beagle, Snoopy! The stage will transform into a musical extravaganza at nightfall as the park hosts Woodstock’s Musical Festival. The musical event features the PEANUTS Gang joined by the family-friendly indie band The Jelly of the Month Club, performing a high-energy rock concert for the whole family.

The PEANUTS-inspired festivities will continue at the Bird Cage Theatre as the park offers an experience that gives both the young and the young at heart a lesson on how to draw their favorite PEANUTS characters. The PEANUTS Sketch School includes a resident art teacher, who will provide step-by-step instructions on creating the perfect PEANUTS masterpiece. At Calico’s Town Hall, a new family- friendly, PEANUTS-inspired exhibit will be open for guests to experience. The new exhibit, Take Care with PEANUTS, invites us to laugh together at the fun and foibles of the PEANUTS Gang as they grapple with some of life’s biggest questions and ideas. Take a look at the inspiration behind some of the most popular themes in PEANUTS through Schulz’s comic strips, photos, and drawings.

Join in on a Western escapade with Franklin and Linus as they transform into cowboys in the PEANUTS Cowboy Jamboree at Calico Park. The boys are looking to challenge the cowgirls and cowboys out there with some of the rootiniest, tootinest games in Calico. Also in Ghost Town is Pigpen’s Pig Pen, where everyone’s favorite messy pal will be joining the rest of the PEANUTS Gang as he hosts a special meetup at the Livery Stables with some of his favorite animal friends.

Venture into Camp Snoopy, where the Camp Snoopy Theater will now feature the Music Goes ‘Round and Around during the day. Sally and Schroeder will host a retrospect of melodies sure to make the audience dance in the aisles. Don’t forget to hop aboard the Grand Sierra Railroad to experience a one- of-a-kind adventure as riders travel with the PEANUTS Gang to the Beagle Bonanza in this fun ride overlay.

While visiting Fiesta Village, uncover an experience guaranteed to make everyone dance – Discoteca de Silencio or silent disco. The fun begins by strapping on a set of headphones and enjoying some upbeat tunes. Snoopy’s brother, Spike, hosts the party bound to be the most fun guests can experience while quiet in Spike’s Silent Disco. This was a LOT of fun and both young and old can get their groove on and enjoy the tunes!

The celebration doesn’t stop there! Just in time for PEANUTS Celebration, the DJs of K-NOT Radio, the hippest station on the Boardwalk, are spinning PEANUTS music. You might even hear a special guest or two, so be sure to tune in. The fun continues at Boardwalk BBQ, where you can grab a seat (and a plate!) to enjoy the smooth sounds of The James Street Trio that will transport you to the hometown of the PEANUTS Gang with their tribute to the music of Vince Guaraldi. Don’t forget to stop and shop! There are so many fun Peanuts Celebration items to continue your celebration of the Peanuts Gang all year long!
