Disney California Adventure has officially kicked off its 2026 Lunar New Year Celebration and it brings with it once again a miniature food festival to ensure a tasty new year! Several fan favorites return plus new menu options are ready to tempt the palate. You can enjoy the flavors a la carte or get a Sip and Savor Pass to enjoy a wider selection of options. If you’re looking to pre-plan your adventure, you can use our reviews as a guide to know what to get — and what to skip!

We tried several options available this year and invite you now for a first taste of the food and drink available at Disney California Adventure for the 2026 Lunar New Year!

Sip and Savor Pass

The 2026 Lunar New Year Sip and Savor Pass is available to ALL guests which means you have the opportunity to taste your way through a choice of different dishes or non-alcoholic beverages from participating Festival Marketplace kiosks. Redemptions for the Sip and Savor Pass can also be used at participating locations around the park where tasting-sized portions are offered. You can learn more about all menu options a little further below.

Each Sip and Savor Pass is available with 6 digital coupons that can be used on select items. Once you’ve made your choices, a Cast Member will scan the barcode on the back of your pass then you simply enter the 4-digit code to complete your transaction.

This year, there are 3 new collectible versions of the pass which pay homage to the cultures of China (with Horace Horsecollar), Korea (with Mickey and Minnie), and Vietnam (Goofy and Clarabelle).

Prices

• 6-Redemption Regular:
  • $49
• 6-Redemption Magic Key passholder:
  • $46

Value Alert

To get the most bang for your buck out of the 6-redemption passport, you’ll just want to make sure you don’t get any of the items that cost less than $8.17 (regular) or $7.67 (Magic Key holder). Considering the prices, that shouldn’t be terribly difficult as long as you avoid desserts and drinks!

Know Before You Go

• WHERE TO BUY: The pass can be purchased at a number of places you might not expect (with shorter lines) including Elias & Co., Julius Katz & Sons, Seaside Souvenirs, Festival Gifts, Lunar New Year Marketplace, and Sip and Savor Carts in the park.
• FOOD HOURS: The Marketplace kiosk booths are typically open from 11:30 am – 9:00 pm but always check the Disneyland app on the day of your visit for the latest information.
• SAVE TIME: All Marketplace kiosks are equipped to sell you items from ANY of the kiosks in the park. So find the shortest line and you can make your purchase for ALL locations at once. Then, simply take your receipt to the appropriate locations throughout the day to get your items! NOTE: This will only work for items at Marketplace kiosks; to redeem or purchase Sip and Savor items from non-Marketplace kiosks, you will have to wait in the respective lines each location. Also, all redemptions made must be picked up on the day of redemption or they will be considered forfeited.

indicates Sip and Savor Pass eligible items

Bamboo Blessings

Bamboo Blessings can be found near across from Sonoma Terrace overlooking San Fransokyo Square. Here’s what’s available at this location including what we tried…

✨ Five-Spice Popcorn Chicken (NEW)

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️⚫⚫

✨ Five-Spice Popcorn Chicken ($9.50) with sweet chile-garlic sauce. This dish seems to be a hit or miss option as many reviews we’ve seen have noted the five-spice flavor being very subtle but this was not the case with ours. The chicken was well-seasoned and the texture was on the mark.

✨ Strawberry Milk Tea Macaron

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

✨ Strawberry Milk Tea Macaron ($9) features strawberry buttercream with a milk tea center. We’ve tried this in previous years it was offered and honestly, no notes! Just a nice simple (gigantic) Mickey shaped macaron. The milk tea flavor in the center doesn’t really come through but the strawberry does and it’s great.

More to Try

• ✨ Guava Dragon Fruit Sparkler ($8.50) features Simply Lemonade, Topo Chico, and guava and dragon fruit syrups garnished with frozen dragon fruit (Non-alcoholic) (NEW)
• ✨ Brown Sugar Milk Tea ($7.75) features Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co. Ceylon Tea, oat milk, and brown sugar, maple and butter pecan syrups garnished with banana milk-inspired whipped cream (Non-alcoholic)
• Guava Dragon Fruit Vodka Cocktail ($19) features vodka, Simply Lemonade, Topo Chico, and guava and dragon fruit syrups garnished with a lemon wheel (NEW)

Longevity Noodle Co.

Longevity Noodle Co. can be found near Golden Zephyr across from Seaside Souvenirs. Here’s what’s available at this location including what we tried…

✨ Chocolate Firecracker

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️⚫⚫

✨ Chocolate Firecracker ($8) features light chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache filling, chocolate almond dacquoise, and popping candy featuring DOVE Dark Chocolate. The dessert itself is fairly straight forward, chocolate overload but we were tickled (literally and figuatively) by the popping candy adding whimsy to this dish.

More to Try

• Strawberry Lychee Cocktail ($18.50) features bourbon, strawberry purée, lychee syrup, and lime juice garnished with a lime gummy wedge

Lucky 8 Lantern

Lucky 8 Lantern can be found at the Bountiful Valley Hideaway near the entrance to Avengers Campus. Here’s what’s available at this location including what we tried…

✨ Phở Dip

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

✨ Phở Dip ($9.75) with rice noodles, sliced beef, shaved jalapeños, pickled onions, and phở broth. We’ve tried this in previous years it was offered the breand it’s a fun and surprising option that successfully translates the popular Vietnamese soup into dippable sandwich form. When we tried this item in its debut year the only downside had a very disappointing bread but they’ve since course corrected making this one of our favorites of the fest.

More to Try

• Red Envelope Margarita ($18.50) features tequila, orange juice, sweet and sour, raspberry purée, blood orange syrup, and gold shimmer (NEW)
• Yuja-Melon Cocktail ($18) features gin, Lillet Blanc, yuja purée, and rock melon syrup garnished with a purple orchid (NEW)

Prosperity Bao & Buns

Prosperity Bao & Buns can be found near in front of The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure. Here’s what’s available at this location including what we tried…

More to Try

• Year of the Horse Beer Flight ($19.25) features Brewery X Grapefruit Citrus Seltzer, Coronado Brewing Co. Nado Premium Rice Lager, Unsung Brewery Company Photo Nuclear Orange Wheat Ale, and Harland Brewing Co. Lucky Horse West Coast IPA (NEW)
• Brewery X, Grapefruit Citrus Seltzer ($15.25) (NEW)
• Coronado Brewing Co., Nado Premium Rice Lager ($17) (NEW)

• Unsung Brewing Company, Photo Nuclear Orange ($18.50) (NEW)

Red Dragon Spice Traders

Red Dragon Spice Traders can be found across from Sonoma Terrace overlooking San Fransokyo Square. Here’s what’s available at this location including what we tried…

✨ Spicy Chicken Wings

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

✨ Spicy Chicken Wings ($9.50) with sesame seaweed crunch. We’ve tried this in previous years it was offered and it’s unclear what exactly Disney is spicing these wings with but they’re definitely spicy. We weren’t dying from the heat but if you tend to be sensitive to spice you might want to skip. If you’re into spicy options this is a fantastic choice with robust bold flavor throughout.

✨ Mandarin Orange Cream Puff

RATING: ☀️☀️⚫⚫⚫

✨ Mandarin Orange Cream Puff ($9) filled with citrus cream and Mandarin compote. We’ve tried this in previous years it was offered and we were bummed to be disappointed. While the marmalade had a nice zesty flavor that wasn’t too sweet, we were missing any hint of the citrus cream to bring some much-needed balance. The shell was also just shy of being soggy.

More to Try

• Honeydew Colada ($18.50) features Rum, melon liqueur, honeydew cream, coconut cream, and sweet and sour topped with a slushy made with DOLE Whip Pineapple (NEW)
• Soju Cocktail Flight ($19.50) features Peach Yogurt Soju Cocktail, Mango Soju Cocktail, and Green Apple Soju Cocktail (NEW)

Wrapped with Love

More to Try

From Other Sip and Savor Locations

Beyond the Lunar New Year Marketplace kiosks, there’s a bunch of options all around the park that will offer “tasting-sized” portions instead of the full-size entrees. You can pay for these items with cash/card or by using redemptions from a Sip and Savor Pass. These items are in addition to broader menus that also feature other items that can be paid for only with cash/card. Here’s a look at the full menus including reviews of everything we tried!

indicates Sip and Savor Pass eligible items

Aunt Cass Café

✨ Strawberry Green Tea Bread Pudding (NEW)

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

✨ Strawberry Green Tea Bread Pudding ($8.49) features strawberry and green tea-layered bread pudding with green tea crème anglaise and whipped topping. We quite enjoyed this one but it is definitely heavy and filling if you are not going to be sharing. The flavors are not going to be for everyone but we were satisfied with our care.

More to Try

• ✨ Almond Cold Brew ($7.29) features almond cold brew with orange cold foam (Non-alcoholic) (NEW)
• Year of the Horse Bread ($14.49) features horse-shaped Boudin sourdough bread (Plant-based) (NEW)

Award Wieners

✨ Scallion Pancake Tostada

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

✨ Scallion Pancake Tostada ($8.99) features fried scallion pancake, bulgogi beef, kimchi aïoli, and spicy scallion salad. We’ve tried this in previous years it was offered and this was one of our favorite items for the whole festival with flavors that were bold and satisfying. The shell was a little bit greasy but this was an excellent option.

Cozy Cone Motel 5 – Popcone

✨ Crispy Chicken Bao (NEW)

RATING: ☀️☀️⚫⚫⚫

✨ Crispy Chicken Bao ($9.29) features fried chicken coated in sweet chile sauce with cucumbers, carrots, and sesame seeds served in a soft bao bun. The chicken was not as crispy as we were hoping but the worse offender was a stale bao that was literally hard to the touch. Big faux pas.

Hollywood Lounge & Studio Catering Co.

✨ Tteokbokki (NEW)

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

✨ Tteokbokki ($8.29) features Rice cakes with gochujang sauce topped with cheese, sesame seeds, and green onions. This menu item is also available at Hollywood Lounge. We’ve never had this dish before the festival which is part of what makes this a nice option for people to try flavors they haven’t before. The texture on this is quite nice and the flavors pretty good. Not a huge fan of kimchi flavor which came through here but this is a nice hearty option.

More to Try

• Lychee Soju Cocktail ($17.25) features Soju with lychee syrup topped with grenadine and club soda (NEW)

Paradise Garden Grill

More to Try

• Strawberry-Lychee Cocktail ($17.25) features Bourbon, strawberry purée, lychee syrup, and lime juice garnished with a skewered lime gummy

Select Outdoor Vending Carts

✨ Mickey-Shaped Hot Dog Bun

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

✨ Mickey-Shaped Hot Dog Bun ($9.50) features classic milk bread with hot dogs, hoisin glaze, parmesan, green onion, and sesame seeds. We’ve tried this in previous years and it’s a great dish if you get it when it’s fresh. If you happen to be at the cart when a fresh batch has arrived then you should find yourself pleased with the offering.

More to Try

• ✨ Blue Vanilla Cotton Candy ($) features Blue vanilla cotton candy (NEW)
• ✨ Watermelon Cotton Candy ($) features Pink watermelon cotton candy in 70th anniversary bag (NEW)

Smokejumpers Grill

✨ Bulgogi Fries (NEW)

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

✨ Bulgogi Fries ($8.99) features fries with marinated bulgogi beef, kimchi cucumber, mozzarella cheese, and gochujang aïoli topped with sesame seeds and green onions. This is a strong contender for us as best of the fest. While far from authentic, the flavors are bold and on point and everything pairs well with the fries. The pickles are a standout supporting star.

Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff

• Firecracker Marshmallow Wand ($8.29) features Marshmallow on a stick dipped in caramel and red-colored white chocolate decorated with yellow sanding sugar, a piece of red licorice, yellow-colored white chocolate, and a gold and red flower chocolate piece
