Disneyland Resort is no stranger to hosting exceptional food festivals. One of the highlights every year that I cannot recommend enough is Lunar New Year, which takes place each winter at Disney California Adventure. Though, over the years, the festival has grown to incorporate other areas of the resort, including Downtown Disney and the hotels.
This year commemorates the Year of the Dragon, so you know Disneyland is pulling out all the stops to make this Lunar New Year one to remember. The festival takes place from January 23 through February 18 and includes tons of limited-time bites and sips, entertainment, activities, and exclusive merchandise. My favorite thing about Lunar New Year has always been the food, so let’s review all of the festival marketplaces as well as menu items found around Disneyland Resort.
But before we dive into the menus…let’s discuss this year’s Sip and Savor Pass.
Sip and Savor Pass
Disneyland’s food festivals offer Sip and Savor Passes which allow you to pre-purchase six entitlements that can be redeemed at any of the Festival Marketplaces or select dining locations around Disney California Adventure. 1 entitlement is good for 1 food item or 1 nonalcoholic beverage. This year, you can purchase a scannable pass (no tear-away tabs this year!) for $46 (regular guests) or $43 (Magic Key holders), which breaks down to $7.67 or $7.17 per entitlement, respectively. Sip and Savor Passes are available for purchase at the Sip and Savor Cart, Elias & Co., Julius Katz & Sons, Rushin’ River Outfitters, Seaside Souvenirs, and at the Festival Merchandise booth.
