 Last week we made our way back to the Disneyland Resort for our second Disney trip since the parks opened. We hadn't planned on making any return trips prior to the parks re-introducing some kind of Annual Pass program, but, well, it was a big couple of days for our family. Something I'll get into in the second half of this update later this week. In the meantime, enjoy Day 1 of our update at Disney California Adventure. Be sure to check out our video comparing the parks from early June to late July below. Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome back to the Disneyland Resort. Much easier time getting through Security than in June. Still, Disneyland does need to improve their entry process.  I would buy all of these if they sold them. But we'll get back to you tomorrow Disneyland  It was a beautiful morning at DCA, we decided to rope drop Radiator Springs Racers.    Just before rope drop, heading to Cars Land
RSR has one of the best queues  Heading into Avengers Campus, first time we've used this entrance.  Captain Marvel making sure everything is on the up and up  Spidey, still a super fun ride. Not sure it still needs a virtual queue though.  First time checking out some of the food in Avengers Campus  Lol, stand-by.   Now THAT'S a giant pretzel  Hey Guardians, we'll get back to you later, we were headed to Animation and AC! One of a few things they got completely right on opening day
Grizzly Peak is the one of the other things they got right on day one   It was a beautiful day on Paradise, err, Pixar Pier   Back to Avengers Campus and some fun with the Guardians of the Galaxy  This thing was back, so of course we had to walk all over it  I love this ride so much and it may be my favorite in the park
   Always looks like he's holding a Cheez-It    
We finally tried some Avengers drinks!  Who knew that Dale was a Variant?  Absolutely LOVED the new Coco scene in Philharmagic. Can't wait to see this show in full screen in October at Magic Kingdom.
 When are they adding Miss Minutes to Philharmagic?  Thanks for traveling west Walt! Be sure to check back later this week for Day 2! Related Videos

 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

 Time for a quick look at the latest (and probably last for awhile) attraction coming to Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure. The Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind looks like it's getting some final touches and should be ready to greet guests soon. Will be nice to see an attraction in this area again. Check it out!!
