Disney California Adventure just posted the foodie guide for the Lunar New Year Festival! Here we will tell you all about the new and returning items and the prices! We will also let you know about the other Lunar New Year food and drinks that will be available throughout the park!
We are big fans of the Lunar New Year celebration that happens at Disney California Adventure. It normally goes on for almost a month. This year (2024) it starts on January 23rd and goes to February 18th. It will always start towards the end of January and end in the middle of February. The dates depend on when the Lunar New Year is.
During the Lunar New Year celebration, Disney does a food festival! They have 6 different booths that have different kinds of food, drinks, and desserts. You can buy the items separately but to get the best deal, we recommend buying the Sip and Savor pass!
With the Sip and Savor pass, you can get 6 food or drinks (No Alcoholic Beverages). If you are a Magic Key Holder, you get a discounted price which is $43 and it is $46 for Non-Magic Key Holders. Both of those prices are for 2024 only.
To get the best deal with the Sip and Savor pass, you will want to make sure the 6 items that you are getting are over $7.16 (for Magic Key Holders) and $7.66 (for Non-Magic Key Holders). We normally buy the drinks and desserts with cash because they are cheaper than the savory items.
For more info on the Sip and Savor Pass, check out our post here!
