From the Disney Parks Blog and written by: Karen McClintock
Disney Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure park is right around the corner! For 59 delicious days – Nov. 12, 2021, through Jan. 9, 2022 – guests can sip, savor, and stroll while enjoying the tastes, sights, and sounds of the diverse season of celebrations, including Christmas/Navidad, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Three Kings Day.
The Festive Foods
Marketplace, with eight locations, offers tasty holiday dishes that are a nod to family
traditions and dishes from around the globe. Our Disney chefs drew on inspiration from their own
unique stories to create some of these marketplace menus. And the yumminess
extends to special festival-inspired treats at select restaurants, carts, and
kiosks throughout the park.
Pick up the Disney Festival of Holidays Tasting
Passport at any of the Festive
Foods Marketplace kiosks and receive stamps as you taste your way through all
the great sips and bites at the eight Festive Foods Marketplaces kiosks. When
you collect all the marketplace stamps, stop by the Holiday Central Pergola
(located near The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure) and
receive a special completion stamp.
Back again this
year is the popular Sip and Savor Pass. Purchase your pass, and you will
receive eight entitlement tabs you
redeem for select food and nonalcoholic beverages at participating Festive
Foods Marketplace kiosks and dining locations.
If you have an unredeemed 2020 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival Sip & Savor Pass, as a one-time exception, you may use your remaining entitlement tabs for eligible 2021 Disney Festival of Holidays offerings at participating locations. The entitlement tabs must still be intact and attached to the original 2020 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival Sip and Savor Pass in order to be accepted. Or, you can request to exchange the unused, qualifying entitlement tabs for a Disney Gift Card eGift.
Remember to
download the latest version of the Disneyland mobile app*, as some holiday food offerings at select
locations are available through mobile order.
