Annual October trip 2023 Day 2: Disneyland and California Adventure.

We got into the park about 30 minutes after it opened which is a win in my book. Traveling with kids is hard. 
Peter and I headed to the cart at Frontierland to grab some breakfast chimichangas. The line was a lot longer this year.
It was as good as I remembered. I recommend getting the salsa verde, you won't regret it.
Pumpkin Cheesecake cold brew. Pumpkin cold brew with cheesecake cream. This was okay I prefer the pumpkin cold brew they had last year. 
Last year Tammy announced her pregnancy at Disneyland and this year we got to take our daughter for her first visit.
After our quick breakfast snack we headed to It's a Small World which only had a 15-minute wait.
This is what Emmalyn thought of It's a Small World. 
Then we headed over to the newly reimagined ToonTown. 
They introduced a new ride to Toontown, Mickey's Runaway Railway. It was a 70-minute standby time.
It's an amazing ride, all of these new rides with new technology are really something. 
We walked thru Batuu since Phat hasn't seen it yet and grab a parent swap for Rise of the Resistance. 
We stopped by Hungry Bear for lunch and then headed off to DCA so we could begin our drinking. 
Honey Spiced Chicken Sandwich. If you like the McChicken then this is right up your alley. 
BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. This was pretty good, but not as good as a double western.
\
Chai-Spiced Pumpkin Ice Tea: iced tea, Chai tea flavored syrup, pumpkin puree cream, and pumpkin candy crystal.
Got to get that Churro!
R&D Martini- espresso martini with cereal-infused milk, topped with chocolate espresso beans and cereal crumble. This is delicious. You can taste the alcohol in this one unlike many of the other drinks offered at DCA.
Seasonal cold brew from Pym Test Kitchen. Butterscotch Cold Brew, Marshmellow Milk, and chocolate foam, topped with toasted marshmallow and streusel crumbs. 
Took the kids for a spin on Midway Mania. 
Then it was time for dinner at Cartha Circle Restaurant. I think this was a lamb sausage or veal sausage pasta. It was pretty good, but save yourself the trouble and get the signature pork chop it's amazing!
Grilled Prime 16-oz Ribeye: Blue Cheese Polenta, Charred Onion Puree, Red Grape Chimichurri
Signature Thick Cut Pork Chop: Garnet Yam, Kale, Roasted Heirloom Apples, Cider Vinaigrette
After dinner we made our way back to Disneyland. 
Mickey's Runaway Railway had broken down earlier during our parent swap so we used the passes to get Peter, Raveena, and Phat on the Haunted Mansion. It was a 2 hr wait so we didn't want to do standby. 
Around 11:30 we called it a day and started to head out.
It's been a very long day, especially since we were at Knott's Scary Farm the night before. There was some much needed rest so we can do this all again tomorrow.
