How to Make the Most of Disney’s Food And Wine Festival 2026

The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival returns March 6 through April 27, 2026.

Visiting Disneyland this spring is such a fun time — but there’s a lot to know depending on when you go!

If your trip falls in March or April, I’ve created full monthly planning guides with crowds, events, weather, and tips to help you prepare:

✨ Disneyland in March
✨ Disneyland in April

They’ll help you know exactly what to expect before you arrive.

I attend the festival every year and update this guide with the latest information as soon as Disney releases details.

The Disney chefs have been working hard to create some culinary delights! The festival is included with your park admission, no additional ticket is required.  I’ve got a free printable foodie guide in this post! Keep reading! 

There’s so much to see and do during the Disney California Adventure Food And Wine Festival! Not only can you find diverse foods and beverages, you’ll also experience vibrant entertainment, complimentary culinary demonstrations and possibly spot some celebrity chefs! 

Discount Disney Park Tickets And Hotels

Please be aware, that Disney theme parks all require park tickets and reservations. Make sure you have both! Please don’t pay full price for your Disney tickets or hotel.

My partners at Get Away Today have the very best deals on tickets and hotels. Their customer service is top-notch and they even have layaway plans. You can find them here or call 855- GET-AWAY.

Make sure you tell them Melissa from Mix In Some Magic sent you for the best deal! If you book a package with park tickets and a hotel room you can use my code MIX10 to save an extra $10. That’s more churro money, friends!

I have a bunch of hotel reviews that might be helpful for you if you’re still trying to decide where you’d like to stay. 

If you’re visiting Disneyland for the Food & Wine festival you need to check out my guides to Disneyland in March and April! They will be so helpful for you!

 Food and Wine Festival Tips

⁣Marketplace kiosks open at 10:30am.  People will start lining up about 20 minutes early at their favorite kiosks.

Lines at individual kiosks during the Food And Wine Festival get long! You don’t have to spend your entire day in line though. Find the shortest line and order everything you want(including items from other kiosks) all at once. Then, you simply show your receipt at the kiosks you’ve purchased items from and you can pick them up without waiting on line. 

⁣Keep in mind, you don’t have to have a sip and savor pass to purchase food from the Marketplaces. You can purchase items individually too. 

I hope you enjoy the Disney California Adventure Food And Wine festival! It’s one of my favorite seasonal events. Probably because I love Disneyland food and it’s fun to watch Disney chefs give my favorites a distinct Disney twist.
