Disney foodies have something to celebrate, because the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is back for 2022. From now through April 26, guests can enjoy a curated menu of delicious dishes throughout Disney California Adventure Park. In order to have the tastiest time, you’ll want to know the best dishes at Disneyland’s annual food and wine festival before you go.
Dishes like the Frozen Guacamole and the Peanut Butter & Jelly Mac have everyone talking online, but are they worth it when there are so many things to try at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival? To help you plan your day of eating, here’s everything that’s worth a tab on your Sip and Savor Pass, and what’s only worth it for the ‘Gram.
Where: Nuts About Cheese
This peanut butter and jelly mac is definitely one of the most talked about dishes at the festival, thanks to the brown sugar streusel and strawberry crackle on top. While it’s not the most amazing dish, it is fun and great for peanut butter lovers. The strawberry crackle will also remind you of eating Pop Rocks as a kid, so the nostalgia is real.
Where: Pym Test Kitchen
Since a visit to Avengers Campus is a must when you’re at California Adventure, you’ll definitely want to grab this Elote Pretzel. It’s so delicious with cilantro sprigs, radish, cotija, and flavored crema on top with corn three ways — regular, mini popcorn, and creamed corn.
Where: Avocado Time
The Frozen Guacamole is a dish for adventurous foodies. The avocado paleta topped with lime crema, pico de gallo, and chile-lime seasoning will really confuse your tastebuds. While it’s definitely not for everyone, anyone who loves to do it for the ‘Gram will want to try this treat on their trip.
Where: Lamplight Lounge
The Cookies and Cream Donuts are part of the festival, but they’re only available at the Lamplight Lounge on Pixar Pier, so you’ll need a reservation if you want to order them. The best part about this dish is the vanilla and cookie dipping sauce, which will remind you of the Dunkaroos dip.
Where: Churros near Redwood Creek Challenge Trail
If you went to Disneyland and didn’t get a churro, did you really go to Disneyland? The festival has quite a few fun churro flavors available, but you cannot miss this Maple Bacon Churro. The maple icing by itself is totally worth it, but the bacon bits on top are also a fun touch.
Where: Sonoma Terrace
If you’re a fan of Epcot’s popular Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup, you’ll love the Old World Aged White Cheddar Lager Soup. The creamy soup is delicious on its own, but it also comes with a tasty toasted fig and prosciutto sandwich you can dunk into your soup.
Where: Lucky Fortune Cookery
The Pacific Wharf always has something tasty to try at California Adventure, and for the festival, Lucky Fortune Cookery has this delicious steamed bao with hoisin-glazed mushrooms, Asian slaw, and jalapeño. You’ll definitely want to make mushroom in your stomach to try it.
Where: Paradise Garden Grill
If you’re looking for something Impossible to try, the festival has a Gyro-inspired Flatbread and super adorable Petite Avocado Impossible Burger. The Impossible Gyro is a must-try. The seasoned plant-based meat served with dairy-free tzatziki, seasoned tomatoes, cucumber, and onions in pita bread is so light and flavorful.
