Miscellaneous Tips
43
Blizzard HQ Tours
Occasionally available if you have a friend at Blizzard that can get approval to host you. They do not allow "walk up" tours/photographs. *Note: Many of the famous photo-op statues from campus are brought to the Convention Center
44
Korean BBQ
A popular group destination for dinner. Gen Korean BBQ House in Tustin is one of the best locally, and is about $12-15 each way on Uber. It's worth it.
45
Downtown Disney
Lots of chain restaurants including the ESPN Zone and Rainforest Cafe. Expensive/Touristy. 15m walk or $5 Uber.
46
Fire+Ice Anaheim
Another popular group destination for dinner. Similar concept to Genghis Grill/Mongolian Grill. Often a long wait.
47
Medieval Times
Dinner Theatre Experience in Buena Park. You'll have to take an Uber/Carpool. About $40+ a person, not including alcohol.
48
Benihana
Anaheim, $6-7 Uber ride. Japanese American Teppanyaki chain. Good Happy Hour deals.
