Calling all Disney foodies! The 2024 Food & Wine Festival is upon us, and Disneyland has just unveiled this year’s menu with plenty of new items to whet your appetite. The event will take place at Disney California Adventure from March 1 to April 22, 2024. To enjoy the festivities, you must have a valid theme park or Magic Key reservation and ticket for Disney California Adventure.
Aside from new menu items and drinks, there are a couple of changes to this year’s Festival, such as the Sip and Savor pass, bookable culinary experiences, and more.
Sip and Savor Pass
While you don’t need a Sip and Savor pass to enjoy the Food and Wine Festival, it is a great way to enhance your experience and save a bit of money. The pass includes individual coupon tabs that you can use to redeem select food and non-alcoholic beverages at participating kiosks. Magic Keyholders will get a discount on their purchase.
This year, the Sip and Savor Pass is available in a four-coupon or eight-coupon version, allowing parkgoers to choose the best quantity for their price range. What happens if you purchase the 8-coupon pass but can’t finish it all in one day? Don’t worry; the pass is valid for the duration of the festival as long as you have enough coupons available.
At this year’s Lunar New Year celebration, the Sip and Savor pass changed from the traditional removable tab version to a digital version where a scannable digital code is assigned to each individual pass. There’s also a 4-digit code to enter during each food purchase transaction. This will avoid any physical tabs accidentally coming off the pass.
There’s no confirmation on which version of the pass (physical tabs or scannable) will be used for this year’s festival, but we imagine there was a reason for the switch during the Lunar New Year celebration as a soft test run ahead of the event.
The New Menu Items
The Food and Wine Festival features flavors inspired by the Golden State, and this year’s event will feature over 80 new items. Let’s take a look at the new items below:
