THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW ABOUT SIP AND SAVOR PASSES:

Sip and Savor Passes are used as your form of payment. Each tab is good for one item (exluding alcoholic beverages) at the kiosks and for Festival Foods offered at select restaurants.

DO NOT REMOVE YOUR TABS until the Cast Member at the register asks you to do so, or during payment. If tabs are not attached to the Sip and Savor Pass they are null and void.

Is the Sip and Savor Pass a good Deal for the Disneyland Food Festivals?

If you are debating on purchasing the Sip and Savor Pass for one of the food festivals, you may be wondering if it is a good deal. The answer… it can be.

If you want to use the Sip and Savor Pass at California Adventure to save money, simply divide the number of tabs by the price you paid for the pass. The resulting number will give you the value of each tab.

As you order foods, you can choose to only use Sip and Savor tabs to pay for items that cost more than the value of each tab.

Here is the biggest reason the Sip and Savor Pass is worth it at Disney California Adventure

CONVENIENCE!

It is very convenient to be able to have your food items prepaid for.

It is also a great option to be able to allow teens, etc to be able to go off on their own and get food without needing to have cash or a card available to them.

We definitely enjoy the convenience of the Sip and Savor Pass and when my family goes to Disneyland during a food festival we always pick one up.
