Update: Tickets for A Touch of Disney are currently sold out.
We’ve been able to stop by Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure Park as part of the “expansion” of Downtown Disney. But, soon guests will get the chance to explore MUCH more of the park!
While Disneyland’s theme parks are still closed, Disney California Adventure Park will soon be re-opening to guests as part of a special limited-time ticket experience. Yes, the PARK. We expect this event will be VERY popular, and now you can snag your chance to return to the park!
That’s right! The line has opened and tickets are on sale NOW for the new Disney California Adventure event — A Touch of Disney! You can enter the queue to purchase your tickets here!
According to the website: the approximate wait time is currently more than an hour. The website also indicates that when it’s your turn to purchase tickets you’ll have 10 minutes to enter the ticket store.

Also, being in the queue does not guarantee the ability to purchase tickets, so keep that in mind.
Update: Our screen later changed to provide the following message: “The queue has been paused as we are temporarily unable to sell more tickets. When we can do so, the queue will reopen.”

As we mentioned, the opening of Buena Vista Street as an extension of Downtown Disney has given guests the opportunity to enter part of the park. But, this event will be VERY different as the entire park will be open for guests to walk around.
As a reminder, the ticketed experience will NOT include attractions.
You will, however, be able to munch on some of your very favorite foods and drinks from around Disneyland Resort. There will actually be food items available at 25 (!!) locations — including 6 marketplaces created especially for this event.

I did try to get tickets for this on the day that the tickets became available. They sold out early in the day. They are not available anymore.
