World of Color Dinner Package

A good friend of mine was in town recently and since we had not seen each other in approximately 10 years, we met for dinner at DCA. But not just any dinner, oh no. She treated me to a World of Color dinner package.

Let me tell you something right off the bat - if you have not does this, DO IT. Everyone should do this at least once. I will tell you all about it but first let's start at the beginning. I was to meet my friend at the Wine Country Trattoria but the parade was in full swing when I got to DCA. I squeezed my way through the crowd and got as far as I could go but I had to wait for the parade to end. While I was waiting, I was looking at the Paradise Pier lagoon and thought to myself, "Gee, that would be a nice shot." so I whipped out my phone and took the following picture. I shared it on Instragram but added a filter and the result is the second photo.


I like them both equally.


 The parade was coming to an end so I snapped a couple of pics and a short video to occupy my mind because I was anxious to meet up with my friend!




Without a moment to spare, we made our way to the restaurant and were seated. I ordered the Italian Wedding Soup but forgot to take a picture of it because I devoured it instantly. Hey, I was hungry!

I ordered the filet mignon and let me tell you, it was PERFECT!
Melt in your mouth like butter goodness!


Dinner came with a dessert sampler! No, I didn't eat all of those.
Half was for me and half for my friend, Lisa. I don't remember the exact names of these desserts but I do remember that they were oh so yummy.


Side note: Every time I preview this page, many of the photos are not cented the way I want them to be and it's very frustrating! I have no idea how this is going to look once it's published so I just wanted you to know that if things don't line up, it's not because I'm losing it, LOL. Blogger just doesn't want to cooperate with me!

After dinner, we were presented with our tickets for the show.


We had a little time to kill so Lisa went shopping.


And then we found our viewing spot and waited...




Something told me that I should put my phone away so I took one more brief video and then got ready for the show to begin.


After the show, we were soaked! It was a great night!
If you are wondering about the cost, dinner runs $45.35 for adults but Annual Passholders get a discount so go make your reservations now.

Upside down Christmas Trees?

We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can

MLB Food Fest

The Food Fest was held at The Reef in Downtown LA. Each person got this bracelet with an RFID chip. That chip would keep track of the food offerings you selected inside and once you reached your limit, it would no longer work. A list of the beers being offered. The first thing I tried was Bhan Mi which consisted of slab bacon, asian slaw, sriracha mayo and a hot dog bun. Then I tired the Wisconsin Ultimate Cheese Fry which consisted of craft beer fries, cheddar cheese sauce, cheddar cheese curds, apple wood smoked bacon and minced chives. Next up were the Sisig Fries which consisted of sisig marinated chicken, Fresno chiles, fried yams, sriracha cilantro crema over fries. While I was in line for the Elote Nuggets, I took a short video so you could see the Food Fest. These were my favorite! Elote Nuggets consisting of corn nuggets, queso cotija, cayenne mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Fish and Chips from London! Batt
