Disneyland’s already the happiest place on Earth, but throw in a massive parkwide food festival—and now it’s somehow even happier. Running nearly two full months, the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival takes over the state-themed park with eight different culinary marketplaces with themes such as garlic, local beer and wine, peppers and more.
Notable dishes for this year’s fest include birria mac and cheese topped with onion-cilantro sauce and tortilla crunch, corn chip chili pie with Impossible beef, a pork chicharrone taco with salsa verde, the SoCal Corn Dog that’s “rolled in fries,” a blueberry pancake cold brew and, for dessert, a Mickey-shaped caramel, peanut and chocolate macaron.
To make the most of the festival, opt for the Sip and Savor Pass, which grants you four or eight tastes so you can wander the markets and try a little of nearly everything, or sample à la carte. Just be sure you don’t forget the rides in all of the culinary whirlwind—fan-favorite Soarin’ has temporarily brought back its California-themed version just for the occasion.
