Here's What's on the Menu for California Adventure's Food & Wine Festival
March 18, 2016, 11:20 AM ·
The Disneyland Resort has released the menus for the revived Food & Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure park, which kicks off next month. Like the original Epcot Food & Wine Festival, the California Adventure version will feature a variety of temporary food stands set up around the park. But instead of featuring nations of the world, these festival marketplaces (as Disney prefers to call them), will celebrate regions around the state of California.
The festival starts April 1 and runs on weekends through the end of the month. Even though the festival's chef-driven special events run only on the weekends, selected food stands will be open on weekdays in April, as well. Disney hasn't yet revealed that schedule, nor has it published the prices for the food that will be sold at the festival. But here's what visitors can look forward to trying at the event, including what looks like west coast Disney fans' own version of Epcot's famed Cheddar Cheese soup!
