Recap: Disney Food & Wine as an AP Holder
©Sarah Brow
Did you get a chance to visit Disney’s California Adventure Park is the Food and Wine Festival?
I wanted to share my recent experience as an Annual Passport (AP) holder. Throughout the year Disneyland Resort has special events and often have exclusive experiences for AP holders. The AP Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival Sip and Savor pass was a great purchase & experience, so I look forward to more AP events in the future! It was a great way to really get the most out of The Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival experience.
The AP Food and Wine festival Sip and Savor Pass was $45, including tax, and consisted of 8 coupons.

With over ten festival marketplaces there was definitely something for everyone. Like many AP events, alcoholic beverages are a separate fee. Even then, I knew that I had to try the Mimosa Flight, located at The Uncork California Marketplace.
The Mimosa Flight included a Pear Mimosa, Apricot Mimosa, and Mango Mimosa. My favorite? The pear!

If Mimosas weren't your thing, there was a Beer Garden located in the Paradise Grill Marketplace. You know, if you prefer drink like Gaston. :)
WHAT I ATE
Nuts and Cheese | Brie toast with fig and mint with roasted California almond crumble
I Heart Artichokes | Fried Artichoke Carbonara with Garlic Aioli & smoked bacon
Bacon Twist | Baby iceberg and heirloom tomato wedge with peppered bacon and blue cheese dressing & Smoked bacon mac & cheese with barbecue-seasoned crispy onions
Off the Cob | Sweet corn nuggets with beef chili, spring onions and sour cream
Sweet & Sourdough | White cheddar lager soup topped with bacon, served in a mini Boudin Sourdough Boule
LA Style | Chicken Teriyaki slider with spicy Dole® pineapple jam & Korean barbecue beef short rib tacos with Kimchi slaw
It was really hard deciding what my favorite food was, but my top 3 favorite bites were:
- Sweet corn nuggets, from Off the Cob
- Chicken Teriyaki sliders, from LA Style
- Fried Artichoke Carbonara, from I Heart Artichokes
Pass holders also received a special AP button at each marketplace location, with a Sip and Savor Pass redemption.
The AP corner included a special photo opportunity, a Festival handout, a free Food and Wine Festival button (the design changed weekly) and of course you can't forget limited time merchandise!
