Dining in Disneyland Review: World of Color Dessert Party in Disney California Adventure

By 23 Comments

This past March, the Disneyland Resort introduced the World of Color Dessert Party.  My family and I had the pleasure of attending recently, and what a special treat it was!  I’m always up for a Disney Dessert Party.
