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

Hello Gorgeous

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
