Sip and Savor Your Way Through the Festival

To maximize your tasting adventure, consider purchasing a Sip and Savor Pass, available in four or eight digital coupon options. This scannable credential makes it easy to redeem select food and non-alcoholic beverages at festival marketplaces and participating locations throughout the park. Passholders also receive a complimentary Mickey-shaped Food & Wine plate (available while supplies last)—a perfect souvenir for your culinary journey.

If you do mobile order these specific items, you’ll receive a full-sized portion, but it won’t be redeemable with your pass coupons.
