We’re so excited to attend the Food and Wine Festival at Disneyland again this year. I’ve spent the last two days eating and drinking my way through the 2020 Disney California Food and Wine Festival at Disney’s California Adventure Park.

Between our bites and sips, we rode all the rides and used the Disneyland MaxPass to maximize our time in the parks.

Thanks to Disneyland for providing a Sip & Savor pass and reserved seating to presentations so I could experience the 2020 Disney California Food and Wine Festival. This post contains affiliate links.

Disney California Food and Wine Festival 2020 Tips

If you plan to drink alcoholic beverages at the festival, don’t forget to bring your photo ID!

  • The marketplace kiosk lines can get quite long. However, they move pretty quickly. Even with long lines, we didn’t wait more than about 10 minutes. To avoid long lines, avoid standard meal times such as lunch and dinner rush. The festival kiosks open at 10:30 am and close at 9 pm.
  • This year, you have the option to order your item at any kiosk and then redeem your receipt for the purchased item at the corresponding window. NOTE: Ask at the kiosk before waiting in line because while they advertise that this is an option, they have not been doing this throughout the day, all day long, and it is not being communicated.
  • If you have your heart set on a specific food or beverage item at a kiosk, consider asking at the register or window before getting in line. We had a few instances where we discovered they were out of an ingredient for a dish (like a condiment for a dish) or item (like a whole drink) after waiting in line and getting to the register to order. That said, they may have it as you get in line and then run out by the time you get to the window.
  • How it works: stand in line, order your item, pay, hand your receipt to the server at the window, receive your item. Photograph all the things on the cute new Instagram walls on the kiosks.
  • Be prepared to stand to eat your treats. Many kiosks have some standing tables available nearby where you can eat your food, but not all do. Seating options: The Hollywood Backlot area has some seating benches in front of the stage; you can also take your food and beverages to the Paradise Garden Grill/Festival Beer Garden where there are quite a few tables (and beer!).
  • Allergy warning: while most main ingredients are noted on the kiosk signs, not all are. Previously, we ordered the Meyer Lemon Macaron at two festivals in a row and discovered it had a berry filling. After tracking down a cast member who called in to find out what the filling was, it turned out to be blueberry. As someone with an anaphylactic allergy to black currants, while I will never eat anything without knowing, I would have never guessed that the sign that simply said “Meyer Lemon Macaron” had a blueberry filling until we bit into it to find a surprise.
  • Soarin’ Over California is back through the duration of the festival
  • Disneyland California Food and Wine Festival is Kid-friendly. There are lots of food and drink items at Disneyland California Food and Wine Festival that are kid-friendly dining options and the portions are sized just right for kids.
  • Make sure to use the Disneyland MaxPass to maximize your time in the parks.

  • Looking for a Disney Good Neighbor Hotel? The Courtyard Anaheim at the park entrance is about an 8-minute walk and a really nice hotel accommodation. There are rooms that sleep up to 6 (with bunk beds) and views of Space Mountain! Book your room at Courtyard Anaheim through our Get Away Today travel partner.
