The Food and Wine Festival has kicked off at Disneyland Resort, and our excitement knows no bounds!

Noteworthy additions include the delectable S’mores Caramel Tart at California Craft Brews and the mouthwatering IMPOSSIBLE Chicken Parm Bites at Earth Eats. And let’s not forget about the returning fan-favorites, such as the savory Grilled Top Sirloin at Garlic Kissed and the delightful Mickey-shaped Macaron infused with Snickers candy bar pieces at Nuts About Cheese.

One of the best things about the event was the opportunity to use the Sip and Savor Pass. This year, guests had the option to choose from two different types of passes: a four-coupon pass and an eight-coupon pass. Each coupon could be redeemed for a select food item or non-alcoholic beverage from participating festival marketplaces or dining locations. By the time I left, I had used up all of my passes and had a full stomach.

Check out some of the items we got below!

BBQ Beef Brisket Slider

BBQ Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese with crispy dill pickle onions
