Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival
officially kicked off today, and if the words “food and wine festival” immediately make you picture massive lines and crowds of people standing between you and your shrimp boil tacos, have we got a tip for you!
See all the DCA Food & Wine food booths, menus, and FOOD PHOTOS here!
OK get ready to have your Food and Wine mind blown!!
Guests can purchase ANY Food & Wine food booth menu item at ANY food booth — then walk up to the booth that serves the dish, hand them your receipt, and skip the line!
Skip. The. Lines!! We gave this strategy a whirl by ordering our (Craft Brews) Pizza Egg Rolls at Berry Patch (where there was no line), then walked over to Craft Brews and picked them up in thirty seconds. Bypassing that Craft Brews line was magical. Just sayin’.
Also the Pizza Egg Rolls are totally awesome. But even more awesome: this DFB tip, y’all! This strategy is a hold-over from Lunar New Year, where you could do the same thing, but it’s even more useful at Food & Wine, where there are more booths and more people! Do it! Here’s hoping it comes to Epcot…ha ha ha.

We did have one warning. When we purchased the mimosa flight, a cast member warned us that one of the flavors was not available and cast members selling items at other booths may not be aware of the latest information. At the point of sale, they told us that they would not be able to issue a refund at that location. We had a similar issue where the CO2 lines for a booth was having problems so we were unable to retrieve a beer we have purchased elsewhere. Still, it was a fabulous trick to save time by finding a short line and using the cast members at an underutilized booth to help relieve the stress at the more popular locations!
Thanks so much for sharing! Did this yesterday and it saved so much time!
