Touch of Disney at Disney California Adventure

3/30/2021

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!

Welcome to Touch of Disney!
Picture
No trams, so a bit of a walk to the entry
Picture
Picture
Heading into DCA!
Picture
When we got to the park we were STARVING, so it was right to the location where we could get some food quick!
Picture
That ended up being a churro cart in Grizzly Creek. Lol.
Picture
EUREKA!
Picture
They're doing some work on the outside of Little Mermaid. Not sure if they're doing anything inside.
Picture
Our first tastes. Beef Barbacoa Taco and Bengal Skewers. Both were excellent!
Picture
Pepperoni Pizza Egg Rolls. Probably our favorite thing we had at the event.
Picture
Black Widow Walls
Picture
Picture
Picture
Heading into Smokejumpers for some more tasty treats!
Picture
Monte Cristo and a Jack and Coke Icee (to go along with our egg rolls)
Picture
They had lots of photo locations, we oddly didn't see any PhotoPass people. Hmm.
Picture
Peoplemover return confirmed! Lol. Wish this wasn't a trucker hat because I totally would have gotten one.
Picture
Pork Banh Mi and some Bourbon thing. Both very tasty!
Picture
About 4:00pm the crowds definitely started dying down
Picture
Wings, Mac and Cheese and a hunk of meat on a bun.
Picture
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?
Picture
Looking across the bay. Is it still called Paradise Bay or is it Pixar Bay?
Picture
Picture
Longest line was for the bar. Yeah.
Picture
Hey Buzz! Thanks for keeping an eye on the place while we've been gone!
Picture
They were testing Incredicoaster while we were there.
Picture
I will say, it was nice to be able to get some pictures with nobody in them
Picture
3, 2, 1 ... GO!
Picture
Picture
My favorite entry to Cars Land
Picture
Not sure there's ever been a better use of forced perspective than this area
Picture
I mean seriously ...
Picture
Hey Mater!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some new paint and stuff. Ooooh. Aaaah.
Picture
What's up A!
Picture
Picture
Woof Woof Pluto!
Picture
Picture
By DCA, see ya real soon (we hope)
Picture
Picture
Hello Gorgeous
Picture
Picture
The long walk back to the car
Picture
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
