We’re stepping all the way inside Disney California Adventure at The Disneyland Resort for the first time in a full YEAR.

As we still wait for the reopening of the Disneyland theme parks, we’re getting to step inside Disney California Adventure for A Touch of Disney, a specially ticketed event. Of course, we’re taking you with us to see all the food and beverages, beloved Disney characters, Disney merchandise, and photo ops. Let’s GO!

Event Dates

The event began TODAY, March 18th, and will run Thursdays through Mondays from 12PM to 8PM until April 19th. The introductory $75 ticket for this limited capacity event includes admission, parking, unlimited PhotoPass downloads, AND a $25 dining card.

So, without further ado, let’s get into the event!

Arriving at the Event

We arrived for the event very early this morning, 10AM despite the fact that the event does not start until noon. At that time, only the Simba Lot was open. Mickey and Friends Parking opens at 11:30PM.

When we arrived, there was no line for the temperature check.

Just after 10AM, the gate for Disney California Adventure had a very small crowd out front.

But without the other parking available, the group was fairly small.

Of course, as time passed, a crowd did start to gather. Still nothing too dense!

Around 11AM, we started seeing Cast Members line up at the turnstiles. We could also spot news crews inside the park!

Then, 30 minutes prior to the official opening, they started scanning guests in! There was a bit of a hiccup as scanners weren’t working in some of the lines (including ours!).
