What Is a Sip and Savor Pass?
Available for a separate fee, a Sip and Savor Pass is a scannable credential that includes a specified number of digital coupons, which can be redeemed for a select food item or nonalcoholic beverage at festival marketplaces or participating dining locations at Disney California Adventure park during the designated festival.
The number of digital coupons included in a Sip and Savor Pass can vary by festival. For the 2025 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, the Sip and Savor Pass comes in four- and eight-coupon options.
The pass enables you to purchase select menu items at a flat rate, rather than purchasing them at their listed prices.

Benefits and Value of a Sip and Savor Pass
Shareable: If you plan to indulge in the gastronomic goodness with a group, a Sip and Savor Pass can be shared between friends and family for a hassle-free tasting experience.
Valid for the entirety of the festival of that year: A Sip and Savor Pass can be used over multiple visits to the festival it was purchased during – a helpful benefit for those on multi-day vacations, Magic Key holders or locals who plan to come back another day. A Sip and Savor Pass expires at the end of the specified festival of that year.
Save time with convenient ordering: Sip and Savor Passes come attached to a lanyard you can wear, making them easily accessible throughout your epicurean adventure. You’ll save time by not having to worry about sifting through your bag or wallet when ordering!
Ordering ahead saves even more time by allowing you to wait in one line to order from select marketplaces. You can purchase available marketplace food and beverage items at any one marketplace. Then, pick up your order from the respective marketplace locations by presenting your receipt at each location’s pick-up window. An order-ahead purchase must be picked up on the same day of the purchase. On the day of your visit, you can ask a cast member for more details.
For example, if you’re craving two items from one marketplace and two from another, you can order all four items at one marketplace and collect them at each marketplace’s respective pick-up window.
Save money when sampling multiple items: The listed prices for festival food and beverages can vary by item. You can maximize the value from your Sip and Savor Pass by using your digital coupons to redeem eligible, higher-priced items.
Magic Key holders can also save on the purchase of select Sip and Savor Pass options with a special discount and lanyard.
