food IS a theme park
It’s time to celebrate some Disney magic with the Magic Happens Parade in Disneyland!

And, while we’ve already given you the deets on the new dining package and exclusive treats, we’re giving you a look at ALL the themed merchandise!
While the Food & Wine Festival in Disney California Adventure is a GREAT spot for snacking, we’re also sipping on so many tasty drinks to celebrate!

We’ve already tried Garlic Kissed’s Carbonara Garlic Mac & Cheese with Bacon and the best dessert we’ve tried so far at Off the Cob, and now we’re about to taste SO MANY beers that are new to the festival this year at the Paradise Beer Garden!
Vegans, pescatarians, and meat-lovers alike are sure to find something to love at Paradise Garden Grill!

We have been looking forward to its reappearance at the 2020 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival, so come along with us as we try out the returning and brand NEW items at the reimagined booth.
It’s FINALLY here! The 2020 Food & Wine Festival has started in Disney California Adventure!

While we’ve already given you a look at the food booths and menus, we’re taking you with us to check out all the festival merchandise available this year!
The sun is shining, it’s a beautiful day and we’re hanging out on the West Coast for day one of the 2020 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival in Disneyland Resort! Woohoo! The festival officially started up today and will run through April 21st.

But enough about the logistics, let’s talk about that festival FUN! Now, of course, the fest comes with all sorts of special events, seminars, and more; but we’re focusing on the food (shocker, we know). There are 16 Festival Marketplaces at this year’s festival and each one serves up a twist on California-inspired cuisine!
We’ve been making our way around Disneyland to snack on some magical treats and celebrate opening day of the park’s brand new parade, Magic Happens!
Olaf, Anna, and Elsa
We’ve already tried the Esquite Hot Dog, Island Pork Toasted Sandwich, Dulce de Leche Sundae, Día de los Muertos Hand Pie, and Sleeping Beauty Churros. Buuuut, it’s a good thing we’ve got our stretchy pants on ’cause we’re taking you with us for a full meal at Plaza Inn!
Despite its name, Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival isn’t ALLL about food and wine — there’s plenty of beer too! In fact, you’d seriously be missing out if you didn’t swing by the California Craft Brews booth to try out some yummy local ales.

As you might expect, this booth is a whole lot more about beer than anything else but there’s a tasty snack returning from last year AND a few wines too! But come on, we’re not gonna go to a booth called “Craft Brews” without trying some tasty selections of beer! Especially since this booth offers not one, but TWO new Beer Flights this year. Heck yes!
We’re in heaven in Disneyland right now with all of the new treats they’ve unveiled for the Magic Happens Parade. Why were they keeping these away from us for so long?

We’ve already gotten our hands on the Island Pork Toasted Sandwich and the Esquite Hot Dog, but now we’re craving something sweet and we found the perfect treat on Main Street.
Something definitely stood out to us when the 2020 Food and Wine Festival soft-opened in Disney California Adventure yesterday!
Garlic Kissed
And now that one of California’s biggest foodie bashes is officially underway (get those tastebuds pumped and primed!), we think these new details will catch your eye, too! We’re talking about the major UPGRADE each of the festival marketplaces seems to have received!
Okay, maybe it’s a little twisted, but watching Goofy and Pluto perform in the new Magic Happens parade at Disneyland today made us kinda hungry for a hot dog!
Goofy & Pluto
Who are we kidding? We’re ALWAYS hungry for hot dogs! And thanks to the brand new parade, there’s a new Magic Happens hot dog at Refreshment Corner to celebrate with!
