Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 0.5 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Buena Park instead of crossing town between them. Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Coffee Code — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, adults, and solo who want a planned Buena Park outing without improvising between stops.
