 Last weekend we made our trip to Disney California Adventure for their Touch of Disney food event. We had a fantastic time, it was amazing being back in the park for a few hours, and saying hi to some of our favorite characters from 6+ feet away. We of course also tried some great food. Enjoy! Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome to Touch of Disney!  No trams, so a bit of a walk to the entry   Heading into DCA!  When we got to the park we were STARVING, so it was right to the location where we could get some food quick!  That ended up being a churro cart in Grizzly Creek. Lol.  EUREKA!  They're doing some work on the outside of Little Mermaid. Not sure if they're doing anything inside.  Our first tastes. Beef Barbacoa Taco and Bengal Skewers. Both were excellent!  Pepperoni Pizza Egg Rolls. Probably our favorite thing we had at the event.  Black Widow Walls    Heading into Smokejumpers for some more tasty treats!  Monte Cristo and a Jack and Coke Icee (to go along with our egg rolls)  They had lots of photo locations, we oddly didn't see any PhotoPass people. Hmm.  Peoplemover return confirmed! Lol. Wish this wasn't a trucker hat because I totally would have gotten one.  Pork Banh Mi and some Bourbon thing. Both very tasty!  About 4:00pm the crowds definitely started dying down  Wings, Mac and Cheese and a hunk of meat on a bun.  45 minute wait for the swings and World of Color! Guess this is the same as it was the last day the park was open?  Looking across the bay. Is it still called Paradise Bay or is it Pixar Bay?   Longest line was for the bar. Yeah.  Hey Buzz! Thanks for keeping an eye on the place while we've been gone!  They were testing Incredicoaster while we were there.  I will say, it was nice to be able to get some pictures with nobody in them  3, 2, 1 ... GO!   My favorite entry to Cars Land  Not sure there's ever been a better use of forced perspective than this area  I mean seriously ...  Hey Mater!     Some new paint and stuff. Ooooh. Aaaah.  What's up A!   Woof Woof Pluto!   By DCA, see ya real soon (we hope)   Hello Gorgeous   The long walk back to the car  We had a blast!   Overall, we had a fantastic time at Touch of Disney. Was it worth the $75 entry, probably not, but hey, it's Disney and we had a great day. As I mentioned in our Comparison video of Taste of Boysenberry Festival, Taste of Universal, and Touch of Disney ... I think out of the 3, Disney had the least amount of available seating and the biggest issues ordering the food. While I think mobile ordering is the way to go, and that part was indeed easy, getting the Disney Gift Card onto the app to use it for the food was a bit cumbersome. I hope they figure out some way to fix that before the parks open. Because it would be nice just to be able to "load" cards onto the app to use for dining. But those minor things aside, it's a great event and we're glad Disney has figured out a way to get some people back to work sooner than their April 30th opening date Related Videos
