 Hey friends today, we are hanging out in Disney's California adventure I traveled all the way from Florida to California and it is food and wine festival. I'm so excited I've never been here for food and wine I've only been to Epcot before and I can't wait to compare both of them So we're gonna eat lots of food ride lots of rides and just have a beautiful California adventure kind of day. Anyhoo, let's go do this And here we are Disney's California adventure Celebrating a hundred years of wonder. I am so excited. It's gonna be such a fun day, and it's actually pretty nice out. I Am so excited to be here. I didn't even plan for this to happen I knew that I was coming out to Disneyland in March But I didn't know was gonna be the first day of food and wine festival and like I said We just got done with flower and garden and it was so much fun And it seems so strange to actually have like food and wine this early in the year But I can't wait to try all the food and all the drink offerings and ride some of my favorite rides This is also gonna be my first time coming out to the West Coast for the new year 2023. Oh look at this On top of all the amazing food and beverage offerings I also found out that they are doing soren over California, which is awesome because I love that ride not soren over the world when they're doing the festival They actually revert it back to the original so I can't wait to ride that Something they do here at California invention that they don't do an Epcot that I love is the sip and savor pass You can buy this for $59 or 54 if you have a discount And it comes with eight little tabs and each one of those tabs is good for anything like one Selection at any of the boots as long as it's not alcohol and I love this Epcot should definitely do this So I ended up getting it doesn't expire until the food and wine festival ends It's still really hard for me to wrap my head around the fact We just did a flower and garden festival at Epcot two days ago, and it was so hot out I got sunburned and I was sweating and now here we are in California About to do the food and wine festival and I had to put a hoodie on because it was so cold Like I never thought I would do back-to-back flower and garden and food and wine in just two days It looks like they have 12 different food stands and a ton of participating locations all around California adventure So it's definitely a lot of food and I can't wait to dive in some of the boots are called garlic kissed Avocado time golden dreams delish nuts about cheese. There's a lot of fun things clock a doodle move Click a doodle move. I'm very excited for click a doodle move The park opens up at 8 a.m. But the food and wine food and drinks don't start till 10 30 So I kind of want to get a little breakfast food because it's still early in the morning. I Think we're gonna get ourselves the blueberry buttermilk pie and the blueberry pancake cold brew and that's it right here The perfect little breakfast treat I can say it looks really good Here is a closer look we've got the blueberry buttermilk pie Which honestly, I'm so excited to try and then the blueberry pancake cold brew and it's got little like Crumbs on there like pancake crumbs. So we're gonna dive in First up the blueberry pancake cold brew Wow, that is good. Holy moly. Wow. This is a way to start It literally tastes like a blueberry pancake. I can't wait to get some of the crumbs in there. I Like that a lot and now we're gonna dive into the blueberry pie. I don't know how I should eat this I don't know how to approach it. Just I'm just gonna take a little bit from the center. There we go Here we go might be overdoing it on the blueberry, but I'm okay with that. That is good, too. Wow Wow everything's so good so quick This seriously might have been the best way to start the morning and I didn't even get any of this like delicious pie crust I just took the middle part and it pops out. Look at hold on. Look at that. I Could have just picked it up and had it like a ham pie a ham pie Also, how funny is it that I'm actually eating off of a trash can? I'm bringing the Epcot to California Adventure Cheers What did you end up getting? It's like a lavender honey What else I don't know. It's so good. It's really refreshing. Oh nice. It's a full-sized cocktail, which I'm not used to I know And you got a cheese plate and a cheese plate look at all of this Bree Apricots candy pecan and some nuts nuts and cheese nuts and cheese nuts about cheese Yeah nuts and cheese nuts about cheese Yeah, the trays are cool I'm actually out here with a group of friends So we're not gonna have to eat all the food by ourselves We can try each other's food and sample things so that way we don't get too full because one thing when it comes Any food festival is you don't want to get full fast and then feel sluggish in the theme park Yeah, take little bites, you know Enough of the blueberry business. I think I'm gonna make my way over to the golden dreams I don't know what they got on the menu there They do have like a festival passport like a little booklet, but I kind of just like winging it Well, I just went in it Just briefly going over the menu one of the things I'm excited for here at food and wine is all of the churros In fact, I saw like three different churros like the three different flavors of churros that I definitely want to try There's a taro miso churro. There's like a lemon one. There's a pineapple coconut one So we're definitely down to some churro business, you know, Disneyland's known for their churros and also some savory items You know, we mean some steak. I know at the garlic stand and then also maybe some chicken wings. I heard were really good Over at the nuts about cheese stand they actually have a Snickers Mickey macron Enjoy a bite of amazing. Wow. This is actually kind of interesting. I think I might get this I'm not nuts about cheese, but I do get super excited about Mickey shaped food items and also I love Snickers too So kind of making that crossover and I'm all on board for it That is a thick Mickey Macaron look at that it is huge. I don't even know if I could take one bite out of this, but I'm gonna try Here we go yours first Wow It tastes just like a Snickers It's literally like I'm eating a Snickers bar right now I'm pretty sure there's some nougat in there lots of peanuts. This is literally a Snickers with a macron texture to it and I like it. I think it's actually really cool There's a lot of really awesome things. I'm excited for and a lot of it is sweet stuff So I'm gonna not overdo it here. I'm gonna share it. You want some of my ears? I Just ran into my friend Peter from ordinary adventures and he gave me some tips For the food and wine festival because like I said, it's my first time here And he told me that you can actually order all of your food from one register If you wanted to because I noticed the lines up front are actually really long and he said you can order all From one register and then save the receipt and just go to the pickup location and also like I said, they were very long lines up front He also said start in the back and make your way back out of front because the lines are a lot less long Less longer all the way in the back of the park So we might skip to the back now and get some of those Marketplace stands, you know What I've noticed is you actually have to wait in one line to order your food and then another line to pick it up So you actually order here and then go on the other side of the Kiosk and wait in another line. So I guess ordering all once makes a lot of sense All right, so far I think we're off to a great start and we got to try a lot of amazing foods Now I do want to try some of the alcoholic beverages. They're not included with the past So if I come across one, I'm definitely gonna buy one and something's telling me I might need to get another one of these because I've already went through three of them And I'm noticing a lot more things. I actually want to get so might be getting around to you know, I Think we're gonna make our way down the cluck of doodle move Cluck of doodle move which was one of the ones I was like, okay, that sounds fun. I don't even know what they have on the menu I just know I want to eat there. They probably got some wings. Yeah, and yeah, we're gonna make our way We're gonna go to the back of the park. I Feel like I'm a little backwards because normally whenever I come to the West Coast I always go to Disneyland first, but since it being food and wine decided to come over here I did go to Disneyland last night because I got back to my Resort actually a little bit late from my flight and I got to enjoy a little bit of Disneyland at night It was fun But be on the lookout because I'm sure I'll have a Disneyland video coming out shortly after this one And I'm very excited to share that with you guys because I love Disneyland. That's my favorite park Here it is the cluck of doodle move and they've got the smoked honey habanero chicken wings the barbecue brief brisket slider Oh, I don't know what this is. I don't know if I should get that or not I think if I just get the wings that's gonna be good enough. They also have a chipotle pineapple bourbon sour Those are some big words for Elmo smoked honey habanero chicken wings chipotle pineapple bourbon sour We decided on the smoked honey habanero wings and I'm a little scared because of the habanero ward in there Hopefully they're not too spicy, but I mean it is habanero and they look good. They smell good So I'm excited to dive in. I'm not even sure what they have on the outside there It's like a nice little coating. Yeah, it's like a dry rub. So it looks interesting. I am all team flats Now I ran into a friend who told me that this is her favorite thing in the festival already She actually came down here first and I'm excited to try them on her recommendation. So here we go honey habanero Hopefully it's not too habanero. Oh Wow That's good another amazing texture Wow I'm pretty sure you can really tell how much flavor is packed inside these wings By just looking at it up close. I'm gonna try to get in there. Look at that Look at all of the dry rub and the seasoning That is an impressive and it's a look it's a big wing. It's not those little wings It's not the little tiny chicken wings. That's a decent size I'm actually gonna try that wing trick where you push it down and break it I don't know if it's gonna work and then you bite it. I think that's how it works You break it you push it down. Wait, there we go that's good a Little bit of spice kicking in but nothing too extreme I like to eat my wings mild, but I think I like the texture like the dry rub the most so far This is actually an amazing wing right now. I'm impressed a lot Okay, I think the heat is lingering around a little bit too much for me now I think we need to get ourselves a drink maybe a beer flight or something. Oh It's creeping up on me the habanero is creeping I guess our next stop is gonna be the California craft beer And they actually have three different beer flights here and an IPA sausage dog might have to get me that sausage dog All right, here is the IPA sausage dog And it comes with some peppers onions cheese on a pretzel roll and I've never had an IPA sausage dog So I wonder if they just soaked the sausage in IPA and I also got myself a little beer flight So we're gonna dive on in Like I mentioned before this is only good for things that don't have alcohol in them and the beer flights are like 1750 but you get four Samplings I think usually I'm used to seeing three and they actually have really fun ones They have fun with a fun with flavor. They have colorful ones and it goes well with the IPA dog. I Ended up getting the fun with flavor beer flight and it comes with a lot of good drinks in here We got a raspberry blonde a mango IPA one of them is called the aurora borealis Which is this one right here. It kind of looks like the aurora borealis and they all have pretty high alcohol content This one is 8% 8% for the pretty one Before we get into the beer flight, we got to try the dog and look at this Look at that sausage dog and I'm a sucker for pretzel rolls I think they're my favorite out of everything. So here we go cheers to the IPA dog That is good. Holy moly The pretzel roll is my favorite thing about this it is so good. I do like the texture of the IPA dog itself and the Pine-up they'll what should we call it the onions and pepper rolls is actually pretty decent I don't know overall. It's a good dog. It's a good dog. It's a half dog though Yeah, it's a good dog But I hate when they give you like half size of doctor hot dogs like they cut it in half You know Not a half dog. I'm a cat dog cat dog. All right, get a wash some of that down. I'm going big I'm going aurora borealis first 8% on this sucker. So I'm gonna take it easy Holy moly. Wow It's so funny because the taste is kind of fruity so would mask the alcohol But I know what's lurking in the background there and this has a punch if you get a full of this It's gonna it's gonna kick in. I'm not even gonna take another step. I think I'm gonna go to the mango IPA There we go a little mango IPA. Hey, oh, that's delicious That's actually very nice and then the raspberry blonde Might as well just keep on going get a little raspberry blondie Raspberry blond's nice. Oh, yeah, and now for the buzz man unsung brewing company buzz man I Like how I'm just shooting this one after another sip sip sip. That's the way With the buzz man is my favorite the aura the aurora borealis is also really good It does have a fruity taste to it, but it's strong. You could taste the alcohol. You could taste that 8% As we were sitting there enjoying our beer flights We noticed that peppers caliente was right next to us. So this out and I'm coming over. What do you get in the empanada? Oh, I'm getting the I got the shrimp. It's gonna be spicy caliente. Is it really spicy? Oh, oh Oh, oh, I'm in trouble. I'm in danger I'm sure some of you guys are aware, but I am not the biggest fan of spice. I like a little spice I don't like a lot of spice and from what I am seeing. I think I'm in danger because this looks like super spice Take a look at this. We've got the empanada here and then the spicy shrimp and just look at that That definitely looks like it's gonna be a spicy shrimp now That's a spicy mint ball or spicy now. That's a spicy shrimp After this I'm definitely taking a break and I think we're gonna go ride soaring over California But I feel like I'm also gonna need a bottle of water I mean the honey the honey habanero wings were kind of sweet and spicy at the same time But it wasn't that bad, but I did run into a friend who told me that these are way spicier. So I'm in trouble So here we go. I'm going for it Hmm, it's good shrimp. I mean obviously I'm not going to feel the burn right away But it does also come with I think cilantro lime rice. I feel the burn Now don't be mistaken here guys, I am a baby. I mean I am a baby. I do not like spicy food So that right there is super super spicy look at that and then the empanada itself, too It's not so much. You said not on the inside. It's that salsa on top that makes it super spicy But you don't want the spice you could try it and ask without that salsa on top they might be able to do it for you There you go. Yeah Okay, enough with the spicy food time to take a little break. I probably wouldn't recommend getting the shrimp though I mean it other than the spice I really didn't taste any other flavor in there and the rice was just okay But now I think we're gonna go ride soaring over California, which I am so excited for I haven't rode this ride Since probably the last time I was here and they did it, but I missed it a lot of Epcot So I'm glad I get the opportunity now that I'm over here visiting for a little bit Wow, I've finally found one of the wild Disneyland cats look at that Pluto is right over there and more people are excited to see this cat right now. Look at him Just living his little best life right here inside California Adventure All right, it's time to ride the original soaring soaring over California and I'm excited I actually got a lightning lane. I bought genie bus for today. It was $20 But it's so worth it actually here at Disneyland compared to Walt Disney World Walt Disney World I feel like you can't really Maximize the benefits of it But because there's so many attractions split up between two parks here compared to four parks over there You could definitely use it a lot more and I had to get it, but now I'm so excited This soaring is so different from the soaring in Epcot. I kind of love it though Look at this California Adventures Wings of Fame I'm mainly excited for the music and the smells That's one of the things I love most about the original soaring the newer soaring the only thing I really do like is the Transitions where like I I feel like something's gonna hit you in the face They really don't have transitions on soaring over California I can smell it already like before the ride even started I can smell the oranges Soaring the tower best remove them. Oh boy. Here we go. We are ready for tickets. Oh boy That just brings back amazing Memories, I mean the sunset scene the golf ball the orange smell I mean, of course the picture quality isn't that great But I love it It literally makes me feel like I'm falling in love with Disney again because I can single handily tell you this when I first came to Disney World and I rode soaring it was soaring over California I wrote it and I walked out of there a Disney lover and that ride does it for me So I'm so happy. I got to do it today seriously Now that we got to see soaring over California we're gonna move along, but I wanted to stop at Willie's churros because here is the pineapple coconut churro Look at that with pineapple sugar pineapple topping coconut cream icing and toasted coconut $6.75 but we've got our sip and savor sip and savor sip and savor And here it is look at that a pineapple coconut churro. Hey Shawn you want some of my churro You gonna try some of my churro Yeah, yo, you want some churro? That looks too gooey for me. Look at this. Hey, hey, look at you're spilling my churro stuff all over the place. Here we go Yeah, the pineapple is no good I Feel like the pineapple is a little overpowering I think I want more coconut more coconut with my churro, but I'm not a big pineapple guy But still it's very delicious warm and I like it churros are always done best in Disneyland no matter what anyone says Now that we've had a pineapple coconut churro and like I said, it's just mainly because I don't like pineapple so much I want to go get the taro masu churro and that I like a lot and it's actually over near Hollywood Studios And here comes Goofy just strolling by. I don't even know where he's going, but he looks great looks like he's going a car They circle There he is the goof. I'm very happy to see you. I think you look fantastic I've never seen you dressed like this before and I love it. Yep. You're looking good. You're looking pretty snazzy I can say I like it a lot. You are. Well, thanks Goofy. You're my favorite. Just like just so you know, yeah Oh, yeah, don't tell Mickey. Yeah.

Those are good some pineapple coconut churros Yeah pineapple coconut, too. It was very good maxi might like them. You know, yeah I love it. Goofy, he's going to get a churro. See you guys I really love how it's not just at the food stands or marketplaces like how they call it here That it's literally everywhere. They have tons of participating locations and it's cool to see a little Terran treats a little special Epcot Terrians Over in Avengers campus, they have Terran treats and they're actually serving up a lemon raspberry pie churro Well, something like that like a lemon raspberry pie churro and it looks really good Raspberry flavored spiral churro topped with lemon and marshmallow glaze Oh, oh That's pretty fancy Just take a look at this delicious treat. This is a churro I like how that's like a new spin on a churro because they spin it. Yeah, you see what I said there It's really cool though and it's got the raspberry the marshmallow the pie crust. This looks so good actually And here we go and I love how I think there's a lemon filling inside there or the churro itself is lemon Wow That is so impressive holy moly Wow Kristen, I think you said that might be your That is hands down the best churro. I've ever had in my life. It is really good The disneyland churros are really good, but and I love lemon flavored things like if there's something lemon flavored a lemon flavored dessert I'm gonna get it. So I love it. I love it, but this is phenomenal phenomenal We kind of already knocked off two churros in the list. We had the lemon one And then we also got this pineapple one. So we're doing really good. Now. I want to try to taro masu taro misu Here we are at hollywood studios and here is the taro masu churro rolled in vanilla cocoa sugar and drizzled with espresso sauce This sounds amazing. This sounds so good I really feel like I need to give you a definitive ranking of churros afterwards But I feel like I'm gonna lean more towards the taro masu and I even had it yet because I just love taro masu Here it is though and look at that. We got some espresso sauce on there, and it just looks amazing I'm just I'm not even waiting. I'm just diving right on in It's actually holding up pretty well on its own Wow You got to soak up that espresso sauce, right? That one is far the best Extra espresso sauce. That's what you got to do. Ask for extra Wow Much too good for children Enough of the churro business right next door is la style and I think we're gonna grab something from here Looks like they have a glazed barbecue pork belly Look at that glazed barbecue pork belly and an echo park cooler. Oh the echo park cooler sounds really good too One of the things I noticed already. I feel like the portion size here are so much bigger I mean there was a lot of food. They're serving up This looks so amazing. Look at this glazed barbecue pork belly with mac salad and look at the size of this This is what I was talking about the portion size. It is insane. I am so excited to dive in and try this I'm just gonna grab me some of this pork right here. Look at this Holy moly that is so much. I should have brought a knife Here we go pork belly. Oh, yeah, that is so good. Holy moly The sauce definitely has a little kick to it But the pork itself is cooked perfectly has some real nice tender Like delicious tender and delicious. I definitely can describe it that way and it's huge huge portions. I tell you This actually might be one of my favorite things so far today like savory items I didn't get to try many savory items a lot of treats, but this right here. I like I could do Hmm Now it's time to move along and we stopped over here by the ice cold refreshments port the coca-cola store And they actually have a margarita flight. They're selling margaritas over here They got a back lot minchalata and then a margarita flight watermelon cucumber mango. Look at it. There it goes There it goes It's time to dive into the margarita flight And I don't know which one is the uh cucumber which one's the mango I know this one's the watermelon one. So we're gonna start with this one. I might have to set it down here Let me set this bad boy down There we go. It's got a little chili lime seasoning there Oh, that's good Oh, I like the seasoning too. I like it a lot It's got a little kick to it. Now we're gonna try this one here We'll find out which one's cucumber which one's which one's cucumber and which one is the actual mango one Oh, that's a cucumber one. That one's actually really refreshing Wow They're very they're seasoned very well though Lots and lots of seasoning now This one must be the mango Oh, yeah, that's good watermelon one was my favorite followed by the cucumber and then the mango This is all good though. You don't really get like good margarita flights like this around the park. So kind of happy I got to try it All of the margaritas was good, but now it's time to make our way through Avengers campus Wow, this has been such a great day. I'm just so happy to be here Captain America you say you don't say Hey Now I made my way over to the pacific wharf cafe and they have a berries and cream bread pudding Which I love bread pudding. So I'm all in for that But also they have a lot of other stuff here too. So we might dabble in a little bit more than just some bread pudding Holy moly. I was not expecting this. This looks like art right here. So beautiful. Look at the bread Look at the berries. This is the berries and cream bread pudding from the pacific wharf and it is Amazing looking. I've never seen a better looking bread pudding than this right here and I can't wait to try I already know I'm telling you right now. This is my favorite thing from food and wine festival at california adventure There's no way I'll find something better looking and I probably would assume better tasting Like I'm not even kidding when I say I don't want to cut into this because it looks so pretty I can't take enough photos of it. I probably took a hundred photos of this bread pudding Like I'll pull up my phone to show you guys All right, here we go the money shot Oh my lord Something like this should not exist. It's much too good. Oh my lord Here we go first bite I knew it I knew it that is Amazing. Wow I want another bite already. I'm gonna eat that whole thing. That is so good Best thing of food and wine for me personally Wow I'm kind of new here, but I'm wondering if the pacific wharf actually has like a seasonal bread pudding all the time And if they do I just want to make a trip from florida to try it every single time It's also warm like the bread pudding itself is warm and the berry compo and the whipped cream is still cold This is like such a great great dessert Well, this has been fun, but it's starting to get too cold for my liking And I think we're gonna head back to the hotel. We're quick. I'm gonna put a pair of pants on I think I need I think I need some pants tonight And then we're gonna come back and watch world of color eat more food I have a whole another Food and wine pass like the sip and save I have a whole another one that I bought that I didn't end up using So we'll definitely come back try some more food and maybe a drink or two All right, and now it is night time and we are back in the park and I got my pants on So I'm gonna be able to stay nice and warm The main reason I wanted to come back to california adventure tonight is because I wanted to see world of color one Which is the new show that they are putting on for the Disney 100 and we got ourselves a boarding group. So how to make it back in time for that Look at goofy actually riding the bus right here. Look at he's in there Yeah, goofy's in the trolley. He's riding the trolley with all the other guests. That's amazing And here it is we are front and center I cannot wait to see the show. I'm a big fan of the original. So I hope it lives up to that lake show I mean, I I hear good things. So we'll find out. I don't know how much I'm gonna be able to film because I'm sure there's a lot of copyrighted music in there. But look at that mickey death wheel Appreciate it except what I don't think that that is a great view One man one dream 100 years ago Walked in these set rebels of happiness and imagination in motion He showed us how little matters can be of great value. It just Tades What? A dream that's called Hope Lighting up that up A single Look at that It's just been a sort of a dress rehearsal. We're just getting started Like what they did with the show when it comes to the technical aspect of things I think the projections are better. The lighting's better I just wish it had a little bit more music and fire like those are two things I missed I don't know how much I can actually put in there Because the the music itself, but I hope you got a good glance at what it was like And now I think the fireworks are going off over at magic kingdom So we might start making our way out call it a night Oh, yeah Look at all these people watching the fireworks from the outside of the park It's a good view. It is a good view from here. I never realized that I've never watched it from out here I don't want to see it though. I want to save it from my big disney land day I really want to see it And with that, I think we are done here today I would honestly say I still prefer Epcot's Food and wine festival only because it's a little bit better of a setting and it's Bigger and much more options, but this was still really awesome The best thing I noticed was the portion sizes and also just the overall Like taste of the food like there's a lot of good ones at Epcot And then there's also some bad ones, but here kind of just felt like everything was amazing And I'm excited to be in California for the next couple of days So hopefully we got a disney land video coming up and maybe some other things around the area That I've always wanted to just explore and have fun with the most important thing is I just kind of want to have fun So I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time Bye
