Taking a page from Walt Disney World’s book, this year Disneyland has announced that on 5 weekends from April 1st- May 1st, they will also be celebrating their own Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure. (Some Marketplaces may even be open Mon-Thurs as well). The “theme” of their festival is Springtime in California, and not only will there be 8 special Marketplaces set up for food and drink, but some of the main restaurants will also be offering special menu items for the Festival. There will also be Premium experiences that guests can resgister for, such as celebrity chef cooking classes, and beverage seminars.
