Starting January 17, 2025, the Disneyland Resort will begin celebrating Lunar New Year. 2025 is the Year of the Snake and the resort has a full line-up of tasty dishes for foodies to try during the celebration. Through February 16, 2025, guests can take part in the celebration at Disney California Adventure Park with Disney characters in their Lunar New Year attire, lively entertainment, the Lunar New Year Wishing Wall, and plenty of delicious bites available in this Lunar New Year 2025 Foodie Guide.
Sip and Savor Pass
When the celebration begins on January 17, pick up a Sip and Savor Pass which includes six digital coupons which can be redeemed for select bites and non-alcoholic beverages from the Lunar New Year Marketplaces and participating dining locations in Disney California Adventure Park. You can use the pass in one day or throughout the entirety of this year’s festival. You can even share the pass with family and friends. Prices for the 2025 Lunar New Year Sip and Savor Pass will be announced closer to the beginning of the celebration. Usually, there is a small discount for Magic Key holders.
This year, the Sip and Savor Pass is available in three new, limited-edition, collectible designs that pay homage to either Chinese, Vietnamese or Korean cultures—and feature some of your favorite Disney characters in culturally-inspired outfits designed by artist Ann Shen. You can pick which pass you want to purchase or purchase all three to collect all three designs. The passes can be purchased at several locations throughout Disney California Adventure Park including Elias & Co., Julius Katz & Sons, Seaside Souvenirs and festival booths around the park.
And if you want a quick and simple way to pay for your Lunar New Year snacks, purchase a special Disney Gift Card with a Lunar New Year design. The gift cards include a wrist band for quick and easy scanning when you purchase items during the festival.
