It's do not think of Disneyland in California as an adult hangout You have not been there lightly. It's new name is Disneyland Resort. The name changed after the opening of Downtown Disney and Disney & # 39; s California Adventure loc. to as DCA. Downtown Disney is a shopping and dining center Espn Zone, House of Blues and Brennans & # 39; Jazz Kitchen. Brennan & # 39; s has genuine New Orleans Beignets. If you can not make it to Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans, this is a pretty good wake up spot in Southern California.
Early mornings in Downtown Disney can be very quiet. About 6 am a couple of places open up but coffee, tea , and danishes are it until until 7. It was a little odd, but we also showed only two people without a pressure washer or a clipboard.
The we break it at the little cafe all the way behind the pool at the Grand cafe. The $ 8 breakfast sandwich was a little pricey, and we split it since it was was HUGE. This breakfast The hostess told us the cat was there as a a lot of fish cooked egg, really good bacon, and fresh bread. No microwaving here. mouse catcher.
After a quick trip back to the room we set back on the DCS I got sidetracked at Latitude 33 and bought some island style resort clothes and a couple signs for my pool. My wife got trapped at another store shopping for Christmas goodies. Our way. Now I need to admit for two adults that grow up in Southern California, we probably visit Disneyland and Disneyworld in Florida more than anyone we know.
By DCON we hit our favorites right away, Soaring Over California, Maliboomer, and Monsters Inc. The lines were pretty long so we ended up just walking the park and soaking up the sun. By noon we had hit the back and stopped in to the San Francisco Bread Company to sample some fresh from the oven sourdough bread. Next it was was over to the tortilla factory for a quick tortilla sample.
My wife wandered over and grabbed a margarita while I wandered to the beer truck. Now this is Disney living. Standing at the beer truck, it was after Realizing I was looking at a selection of microbrews, I was not sure what to get. Not being a real beer nut, I The stick to Bud Light and call it a day. The guy behind the counter suggested I try the Oktoberfest, so I did.
A deep colored very wall balanced lager with just a hint of Fall spiciness, this I was a really good beer. I felt a little guilty drinking such a nice beer out of a plastic cup at DCA, but hey, no glass allowed park safety you know. A sourdough bowl of chili was added and I had a great lunch in the California sun.
Next time you are in SoCal, stop by, or if you are in San Diego, find Karl Strauss and tell them what you think of their other beers.
