California Adventure Food and Wine Festival

Anyone else love the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot?!  It is so fun now that California Adventure does a Food and Wine Festival too!  It is the perfect Disney park for it! There are 11 outdoor kitchens all full of fun themes and tasty food.  The festival is going on till April 16th 2017.

With the festival there is lots of outdoor concerts, fine dining dinners and other specialty events.  If you are a Disneyland Annual Pass Holder there are special things going on just for you! Here is a link to the info.

Sip and Savor Pass 2017

Sadly this pass is only available for Disneyland Annual Pass Holders. Currently you can only get one per pass per passholder.  The Sip and Savor Pass includes 8 coupons that you can redeem for food and beverage (excluding alcohol) at select Festival Marketplaces.

The Sip and Savor Pass costs $45, which will save you on a few dollars per item you get.  Most of the food is $6-8, desserts around $5.  I would recommend getting the pass if you can, then you know you will get 8 tasty items for a good deal.

The little tabs around the pass are called coupons and those are what you turn in to get your food.  One tab for one food item.  Its fun because the pass comes on a lanyard and when you cash in your coupon for a food item not only do you get your food, but you also get a fun button to add your lanyard.  All of the outdoor kitchens have diffrent colored buttons so the more places you try, the more colorful your lanyard will become.

If you have a Disneyland Annual pass the Sip and Savor Pass can be purchased at Seaside Souvenirs, Studio Store, Festival Gifts at Stage 17 and the AP Corner in Paradise Pier.
