The annual Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival is almost here, taking place at the Disneyland Resort from February 28 through April 21, 2025. To help fans prepare, Disney Eats released a an essential Foodie Guide highlighting all of the limited-time food and drink offers at Disney California Adventure Park and Downtown Disney District.
For those who aren’t familiar with these kinds of food festivals at the Disney Parks, guests can either purchase items a la carte, or purchase a scannable Sip and Savor Pass, available in four- or eight-coupon options, which can be redeemed for select food and nonalcoholic beverages. The Sip and Savor Passes can be shared amongst a group or split into multiple visits. I’ve found one pass to be good value for 2 people across one or two visits.
Among the limited specialty items showcased in the Foodie Guide are a selection of new and returning highlights:
- (New) Mini LA street dog from LA Style and Award Wieners: adorned with jalapeño mayo, pepper and onion relish, and Nueske’s applewood smoked bacon
- (New) Pescado zarandeado from Paradise Garden Grill: whole grilled fish with corn tortillas, refried beans, Spanish rice, zesty slaw, pickled vegetables and a side of chips and salsa
- (New) Corn chip chili pie featuring Impossible™ Beef from Peppers Cali-ente and Cozy Cone Motel: with spicy cheese sauce, tomatoes, sliced jalapeños and sour cream
- (New) Burrata toast from Aunt Cass Café: with toasted sourdough, onion jam, burrata, tomatoes, arugula and balsamic glaze
- (New) Birria mac & cheese from Sonoma Terrace and Mercado de Antojos: enriched with onion-cilantro sauce and tortilla crunch
- Mickey-shaped Macaron made with SNICKERS bar pieces from Uncork California: filled with caramel ganache
In addition to the specialty food items available at various kiosks, there are some higher tier bookable experiences available as well:

- Carthay Circle Reception: An exploration of tastes and pairings with beermaking experts
- A Walk on the Silverado Trail at Mariposa Pool Deck: Specialty wine and cuisine pairings in Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel
