My parents were able to join us, and my Dad and I have something in common: a love of red wine. So when it was dinner time, rather than enjoying our dinner in the designated seating area for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/disneyland\/dining\/disneyland-resorts-restaurant-menus\/pacific-wharf-cafe-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pacific Wharf Caf\u00e9<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/disneyland\/dining\/disneyland-resorts-restaurant-menus\/cocina-cucamonga-mexican-grill-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill<\/a>, we took our food to the Mendocino Terrace so we could enjoy a glass of wine with our dinner.<\/p>\n<p>This is something my parents had done on a previous trip, and were encouraged to do so by a Cast Member. The Mendocino Terrace is on a patio, which makes it perfect for people watching. This used to be one of our favorite places from which to watch a passing parade, but, at this time, there is no afternoon parade in California Adventure.<\/p>\n<p>The line to order wines and beers moved slowly, partially because this was a Saturday in the late afternoon, and partially because the Cast Members here are knowledgeable about wines and are happy to help guests make a selection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-58044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Sebastiani-400x320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Sebastiani-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Sebastiani.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>Sebastiani Cabernet Sauvignon<\/i><\/p>\n<p>My Dad, who was buying (thanks, Dad!) bought each of us a glass of Sebastian Cabernet Sauvignon. He also bought my Mom a glass of Saint-Hilaire Sparkling Wine. I was impressed at the pour of the wine; the Cast Member filled our glasses very full, so much so that I was worried about carrying it back to our table! Dad also bought my husband a beer, a Hangar 24 Orange Wheat, which he enjoyed very much.<\/p>\n\n<p>Keep in mind that we started our California Adventure day at park opening, which was 8:00 a.m. By dinner time, it was such a welcome respite to sit back, enjoy a glass of wine, and watch the crowds go by. Even my daughter, running on pure energy fueled by Disney mania and birthday madness, enjoyed the rest in the day.<\/p>\n<p>We enjoyed the rest so much, in fact, that my Dad wound up buying us all a second drink! We wound up spending a nice chunk of time here, complimenting a nearby guest on her family\u2019s fabulous Aladdin-inspired hats, talking about our upcoming Walt Disney World trip, and planning what we should do with the rest of our day.<\/p>\n<p>My Disney days are usually full speed ahead, with an emphasis on doing and seeing as much as possible in whatever amount of time we have to spend. I am so glad that my family had the good sense to sit back and slow down just for a while, and to truly savor the time we spent together.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you stopped to enjoy a beverage and the view from the Mendocino Terrace at Disney California Adventure?
