News By June 30, 2025 Tags: , , No Comments

A favorite attractions at Disneyland isn’t a ride — it’s the food! With more than 70 restaurants and eateries in Disneyland park, you could easily build an itinerary dedicated to dining.

We put together a handy guide to the different types of dining experiences at Disneyland park, including menu recommendations and money-saving tips. You’ll find there’s something for a variety of palates, time preferences and price points.

If you’re planning to visit both theme parks, be sure to also check out our guide to dining experiences at Disney California Adventure park.

On-the-Go Snack Carts and Market Stands

Carts and market stands are conveniently located throughout the park, making it easy to pick up a beverage or snack on the way to your next attraction or show. Snack carts are where you’ll find iconic Disneyland treats, such as churros, popcorn, turkey legs and Mickey Mouse-shaped pretzels. Market stands offer bottled sodas, whole fruit, pickles and more.

Must-try snacks include:

Quick-Service Restaurants

Quick-service restaurants offer delicious and budget-friendly bites, which can be ordered at a walk-up counter. Many locations also offer mobile ordering through the Disneyland app.* These eateries can satisfy all kinds of cravings, from barbecue and Southern-style to Mexican, Italian and more!

Some choices can be an especially great value because they are generous for one person or can be shared between two people.

You also have the flexibility to enjoy your meal in the restaurant’s seating area or take it away. On a recent visit to Disneyland park, I ordered a Burger Fantasyland faire fold from Red Rose Taverne, then enjoyed it on Main Street, U.S.A., while waiting for the “Paint the Night” parade to begin.

News, Special Events By March 27, 2025 Tags: , No Comments

Disney California Adventure park at Disneyland Resort presents lively, limited-time festivals at various times throughout the year, featuring upbeat live entertainment, merchandise and – of course – many selections of specialty food and beverages!

For each festival, the talented Disneyland Resort culinary team develops tasting-sized bites, nonalcoholic beverages and more inspired by the seasons or celebration. With a range of dining options to choose from, tasting your way through a festival is often an attraction on its own.

If you’re planning to try multiple items during a festival at Disney California Adventure, purchasing a Sip and Savor Pass* could offer greater value and convenience on the foodie fun.

What Is a Sip and Savor Pass?

Available for a separate fee, a Sip and Savor Pass is a scannable credential that includes a specified number of digital coupons, which can be redeemed for a select food item or nonalcoholic beverage at festival marketplaces or participating dining locations at Disney California Adventure park during the designated festival.

The number of digital coupons included in a Sip and Savor Pass can vary by festival. For the 2025 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, the Sip and Savor Pass comes in four- and eight-coupon options.

The pass enables you to purchase select menu items at a flat rate, rather than purchasing them at their listed prices.

Which Festivals Offer the Sip and Savor Pass?

A Sip and Savor Pass purchased at a festival is valid only during that festival for that year.

Lunar New Year (typically in January and February): Celebrating Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean traditions through food and entertainment, Lunar New Year features Asian-inspired delights with a Disney twist, such as noodles, bao buns and more.

Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival (typically in March and April): This festival honors the diverse and delicious California food scene with dozens of tasty bites and sips. The beverage menu includes craft beer, curated wines and nonalcoholic creations.

Disney Festival of Holidays (typically in November, December and early January): A diverse season of various holiday celebrations are honored with multicultural performances and festive food and beverages.

Where to Purchase a Sip and Savor Pass

On the day of your Disney California Adventure visit, Sip and Savor Passes can be purchased at various locations around Disney California Adventure park, which may include:

The latest available pricing information can be found on Disneyland.com. A Sip and Savor Pass cannot be purchased in advance, online or on the Disneyland app.

How to Use a Sip and Savor Pass

There are many marketplaces and participating dining locations peppered around the park, each serving a unique selection of food and beverages.

The menu and selection of Sip and Savor Pass-eligible items rotates by festival and by year. Examples of featured items have included:

To see which locations accept the Sip and Savor Pass and the latest list of which menu items are eligible to be redeemed with one, you can check the Disney Eats Foodie Guide to the festival on the Disney Parks Blog, visit Disneyland.com or search “Sip and Savor Pass” on the Disneyland app.**

Sip and Savor offerings at participating dining locations are tasting-size portions only, not full entrées.

Redeeming your digital coupons on your Sip and Savor Pass is easy! When ordering, let a cast member at the location scan your Sip and Savor Pass. Then, enter the four-digit code shown on your pass at checkout. The cast member will also be able to tell you how many coupons you have left.

Benefits and Value of a Sip and Savor Pass

Shareable: If you plan to indulge in the gastronomic goodness with a group, a Sip and Savor Pass can be shared between friends and family for a hassle-free tasting experience.

Valid for the entirety of the festival of that year: A Sip and Savor Pass can be used over multiple visits to the festival it was purchased during – a helpful benefit for those on multi-day vacations, Magic Key holders or locals who plan to come back another day. A Sip and Savor Pass expires at the end of the specified festival of that year.

Save time with convenient ordering: Sip and Savor Passes come attached to a lanyard you can wear, making them easily accessible throughout your epicurean adventure. You’ll save time by not having to worry about sifting through your bag or wallet when ordering!

Ordering ahead saves even more time by allowing you to wait in one line to order from select marketplaces.*** You can purchase available marketplace food and beverage items at any one marketplace. Then, pick up your order from the respective marketplace locations by presenting your receipt at each location’s pick-up window. An order-ahead purchase must be picked up on the same day of the purchase. On the day of your visit, you can ask a cast member for more details.

For example, if you’re craving two items from one marketplace and two from another, you can order all four items at one marketplace and collect them at each marketplace’s respective pick-up window.

Save money when sampling multiple items: The listed prices for festival food and beverages can vary by item. You can maximize the value from your Sip and Savor Pass by using your digital coupons to redeem eligible, higher-priced items.

Magic Key holders can also save on the purchase of select Sip and Savor Pass options with a special discount and lanyard.
