The Disney Parks Blog officially confirmed and announced “A Touch of Disney” today. This new food event is set to begin on March 18th in Disney California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort. The event will take place Thursdays through Mondays from 12:00 to 8:00 p.m. Tickets will cost $75. The ticket includes the following: parking at Mickey & Friends, photo pass for the event, and $25 in food credits. Disney has given themselves some flexibility with how long the event will last by having a soft ending on April 5th with the option of extending the event on a week by week basis. This is to ensure that they don’t sell tickets too far in advance in the event of Disneyland being allowed to reopen in its entirety.
A selection of iconic food and beverage items from both Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park will be available for you to enjoy, from churros and the world-famous DOLE Whip to the classic Monte Cristo Sandwich usually found in New Orleans Square. Many items will be served snack-sized, so you can delight in a variety of bites and sips from mid-day through the evening. These guest-favorites will be available at locations around the park, including Smokejumpers Grill, Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats, Award Wieners, Cocina Cucamonga to name a few, and six seasonal and creatively themed marketplaces. Keep an eye out for A Touch of Disney Foodie Guide on the Disney Parks Blog!
Select retail locations also will be open, selling the latest apparel, accessories and souvenirs, including the 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 you explore the park, capture photos at iconic locations and discover new photo-worthy spots – some that are available only if you attend A Touch of Disney. You might catch a wave from Mickey Mouse and see some of his pals in unexpected settings. Mater and Lightning McQueen may be seen in Cars Land, or Joy and Sadness at Pixar Pier. To help set the stage for A Touch of Disney, 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 remain closed for now.
