Hello Mouskebabes!
I recently visited Disney’s California Adventure Park for all the Lunar New Year excitement and it did not disappoint! Let’s talk all things food, parade, and activities so you can plan to go before it’s over!
“机不可失，时不再来 - Don’t miss opportunities: time doesn’t come round again.”
Making a Wish!
Located in Paradise Gardens, the lucky wishing wall is a place where all can come to make their wish! As simple as faith, trust, and pixie dust, all you have to do is write your wish on this cute little Mickey and hope it comes true!
Make a Wish!
This was by far my favorite part!
Watch me make a wish!
““Enjoy yourself. It’s later than you think.””
Let’s Eat!
My mother-in-law is Taiwanese so that means I get all the delicious amazing authentic Chinese food! Also my husband lived in Okinawa half of his life and grew up eating Japanese yumminess so he learned to cook his favorite dishes and there you have it: so much Asian deliciousness whenever I want!
With that said, I was absolutely pleasantly satisfied by the dishes I tried! They tasted so authentic and delicious that I highly recommend you try it ALL! *I can’t give you any reviews on pork based dishes because i don’t eat pork!
HUGE shout-out to my dear friend Michael for making my visit to the festival just absolutely GRAND (also if you need someone new to follow he’s pretty inspirational and just my fave!).
Also another HUGE shout-out to my friend Adam for taking me to the festival and enduring all my crazy antics haha! He’s also another spectacular friend of mine and one to follow along with!
Mulan’s Parade
This was easily one of my favorite parts because not only was it entertaining but also very educational! I also loved how some very beloved characters such as Chip & Dale were there! Give it a look!
Showtimes:
Morning 11:45 AM
Afternoon 1:00 PM, 2:45 PM, 4:00 PM (times may vary)
Paradise Garden Bandstand
I could have stayed and listened to these beautiful performers all day! I was able to dance, sing, and enjoy some traditional music while eating my Lunar New Year treats!
Times – 12:15 PM, 1:25 PM, 2:20 PM, 3:35 PM, 4:45 PM, 5:45 PM (times may vary)
Chinese Writing
Head over to Paradise Garden to get your name, birth year, or symbol written in Chinese calligraphy! It’s absolutely mesmerizing to watch!
Thank you!
Thank you for following along ALWAYS and for reading! I did not get to eat/ do everything at the festival so be sure to click here to go to Disney’s website to see more info on the things I didn’t do!
