A Touch of Disney at Disney California Adventure

Last week we reported that a special event was coming to Disney California Adventure, this week we have more details about this limited ticket event!  A Touch of Disney, the new, limited-capacity ticketed event, will begin March 18 at Disney California Adventure Park.  The event will offer guests some of the world-famous food and beverages found at Disneyland Resort plus a chance to see Disney characters, shop for the latest Disney merchandise and pose at unique photo locations.

A selection of food and beverages from both Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park will be available for guests, from churros and the world-famous DOLE Whip® to the classic New Orleans Square Monte Cristo sandwich.  Many items will be served snack-sized  so guests will be able to eat a variety of bites and sips throughout the day into the evening.  These guest-favorites will be available at locations around the park, including Smokejumpers Grill, Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats, Award Wieners, Cocina Cucamonga and six seasonal and creatively themed marketplaces.

​Guests attending A Touch of Disney will also be able to make dining reservations at Lamplight Lounge and Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining for meals during the event.

Select retail locations at the park also will be open, selling the latest apparel, accessories and souvenirs, including new, adorable Disney NuiMos. Pop in and out of the shops along Buena Vista Street or head to Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff at Pixar Pier for a selection of treats including themed candy apples. 

While exploring the park, guests can capture photos at iconic locations and discover new photo-worthy spots – some that are available only for those who attend A Touch of Disney. Guests might catch a wave from Mickey Mouse and his pals, or see Mater and Lightning McQueen in Cars Land. A new, specially curated soundtrack of reimagined Disney songs will be broadcast throughout the park, along with updates and reminders about many can’t-miss experiences. Attractions will not be available during the event.
