In recent months I’ve had the chance to go to most of the seven major theme  parks in So Cal. Between them all, you can immerse yourself in the world of a bunch of your favorite TV and movie characters.

We know where to find Mickey Mouse and all his Disney friends-in Anaheim. If you’d like some good information about planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort, check out the SoCal Vacation Guru. Disney has no-doubt done the most effective job of bringing imaginary characters to life, much to the delight of us all.

Knott’s Berry Farm is not far from Disneyland, and you can continue your movie star hunt by visiting Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts clan. Charlie Brown, Linus and the others fit  nicely into the personality of Knott’s Berry Farm.

Universal Studios up in Hollywood would be a good next stop in your vacation, where you can chill with the likes of Homer Simpson, the Flintstones and Rubbles, Betty Boop and Spiderman. You can find some good details about Universal Studios Hollywood from the SoCal Vacation Guru.

Lastly, we drive up north a ways and stop at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The Six Flags roller coasters seem to be the biggest draw to the park for most visitors. But skulking around the place are the nutty characters of Warner Brothers cartoons, notably the Looney Tunes guys.

Keep your eyes peeled for Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam and the rest, as they sign autographs at certain designated spots. There’s a nice area just for small children; the park management has figured out that not everyone is a teen-age or twenty- something thrill ride fanatic. It is fun for kids and adults alike to meet these well-behaved celebrities, and you can find them at various spots on the Mountain.
