food IS a theme park
We’re still partying over the fact that we got to spend an entire day inside Disney California Adventure yesterday at the official kick-off of A Touch of Disney!
A Touch of Disney
This festival combines brand new eats with classic Disneyland dishes…and there’s one spot in Hollywood Land where you can score BOTH of these kinds of treats!
This month, Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure will open up to guests for shopping and dining.

Happy Sunday and happy October! We’re back with another edition of our Disney Food Round-up for you today.

That’s the year that Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs arrived — at long last — in Disney World, thanks to the Fantasy Fare Disney Food Truck.
Of course, Disneylanders have a long history with Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs. The Little Red Wagon and Stage Door Cafe in Disneyland Park and Corn Dog Castle in Disney California Adventure long ago elevated the standard theme park/carnival/state fair corn dog to a work of art. An extra-thick layer of corn batter surrounds the hot dog, while the hand-dipped treatment lends a heartier, tastier, more satisfying crunch to the deep-fried golden batter.
Even with that description, it’s still hard to imagine how much this process improves upon your basic corn dog without trying one for yourself.

There are a couple of different spots in Disneyland that I must check out every time I visit, and one of them is Cafe Orleans. A trip just wouldn’t feel complete with at least one Monte Cristo Sandwich, and an order of Frites to share (HA!). (Michael did it right here, with two sauces!) And while you’re at it, you have to try Disneyland’s famed Mint Juleps at least once!
