Get ready to ignite those taste buds with flavor because Lunar New Year is almost here at the Disneyland Resort! This year is the Year of the Dragon and the culinary teams have brought out the creativity to bring delicious delights inspired by the traditions and cuisines of Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese cultures. From Jan. 23 through Feb. 18, the Lunar New Year Festival will transform Disney California Adventure Park into a vibrant celebration with characters, entertainment, festive décor, merchandise, and, of course, food!
As we celebrate this new year, there are plenty of treats and eats across the resort for guests to try. From returning favorites, like the Mickey-shaped Hot Dog Bun and Garlic Noodles, to can’t-miss new additions, such as the Fried Lemongrass Chicken Dumplings and Peach Basil Collins, guests will be satisfied (and full) by the end of their foodie outing. But that’s not all. There are bites and sips beyond just the festival offerings for guests to indulge in, and we’ve got them all here.
Now, before we get to the full list of offerings, we’ve got another tasty tidbit for you. For some added flavor to your celebrations, guests can purchase the Sip and Savor Pass, which provides six coupons, redeemable for select food and non-alcoholic beverages at participating Lunar New Year Marketplaces and dining locations in Disney California Adventure Park. This year, we are introducing a new way to redeem coupons. Simply present a physical Sip and Savor Pass to a cast member at the location to scan. Then, enter the 4-digit code located on the pass at checkout.
Now, let’s celebrate the Year of the Dragon and explore this year’s Lunar New Year Foodie Guide!
