Sip and Savor Pass prices are out now!
$46 for General
$46 for Magic Key
The Sip and Savor Pass at Disney California Adventure’s Festival of Holidays is an optional prepaid pass that lets you sample select snacks and dishes at festival marketplaces. Each pass includes six tabs that can be redeemed for individual items at the marketplace kiosks throughout the park, as well as at select quick-service restaurants. It’s not required, but if you plan to try several higher-priced dishes, the pass can save you money compared to paying for each item individually.
Tips for Using a Sip and Savor Pass: To get the most value, use your tabs on the more expensive savory dishes rather than on cheaper desserts or drinks. You can share one pass among friends or family, and it’s valid throughout the entire festival—so there’s no need to use all the tabs in one day. In general, aim for items priced at $8.17 or more to make the pass worth it, or $7.67 or more if you’re a Magic Key holder. Also note that some quick-service locations may offer smaller portions when you redeem items using the Sip and Savor Pass.

DISNEY WORLD: Test Track reopens on July 22, and that means changes are coming to Lightning Lane—plus special previews for Disney Vacation Club Members and Annual Passholders!
🎢 Annual Passholders: Make your park reservations now! You can preview the new Test Track from July 13–19 (excluding July 17) ahead of the grand reopening on July 22. Join the virtual queue at 7 AM or 1 PM with a valid park reservation. If the day you want is already booked, you can start at a different park and try for the 1 PM virtual queue.
🏁 Disney Vacation Club Members get early access on July 12—but you must have a hotel reservation booked before July 6. Registration opens on July 8, and you’ll receive an email with the details.
When Test Track officially opens on July 22, there won’t be a virtual queue. Instead, you can use the standby line or book a Lightning Lane with Multi Pass. Lightning Lane changes for EPCOT start that same day—Soarin’ will move down to Group 2.
