First Look: Sip and Savor Pass at Disney California Adventure Lunar New Year Festival
If you’ve been following along with us here at MickeyBlog then you’ll know that we’re currently celebrating the Year of the Tiger at Disney’s California Adventure for their Lunar New Year celebration. One of the things that people love the most about this annual Disneyland Resort festival is the opportunity to sample a variety of eats and treats at the Lunar New Year food booths. A great way to do this is by picking up a Sip and Savor Pass.

The tabs on the side of the pass are torn off and handed over for menu items. Once you’ve used all your tabs, its time to dole out for a new one.
The passes can also be used across multiple visits which makes it handy for locals visiting the Lunar New Year festivities more than once!
