Here is what's on the menu at Disney's Food and Wine Festival
We are just a couple of week away from the return of the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival at the Disneyland Resort.
Disneyland this morning announced the menus for this year's food festival, which starts February 28 and continues daily through April 21. Visitors can find new and returning food and drinks at seven festival marketplaces across Disney California Adventure, as well as at regular restaurants and food carts in the park, plus at participating restaurants in Downtown Disney and at the resort's hotels.
Disneyland again will be selling a Sip and Savor Pass, good for four or eight items at participating locations. Used wisely (i.e. for the expensive stuff), the Sip and Savor Pass can save you money over buying items individually. Note that the Sip and Savor pass cannot be used to buy any alcoholic beverages. Magic Key annual passholders can get a discount on the price of the Sip and Savor passes, but their regular dining discounts do not apply to festival marketplace items otherwise.
Disney has not yet released this year's prices, but we do now know what new items will be offered at this year's Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. First up, there's a new marketplace this year, Mercado de Antojos, which will offer two new food items:
- Birria Mac & Cheese with onion-cilantro sauce and tortilla crunch (Also available at Sonoma Terrace)
- Café de Olla Tres Leches Cake: Café de olla-infused tres leches topped with piloncillo chantilly, cinnamon, and a Mickey-shaped cookie

I would worry that the musubi fried rice would be prepped long in advance and kept in a chafing dish for who knows how long prior to serving. Personally, I'd much rather just have a regular L&L Spam musubi wrapped in cellophane. There are certain dishes that don't need to be messed with, deconstructed, or reimagined.
