News:
The Sip & Savor pass is back this year for the Food & Wine Festival, so how can you get the best value? This year, you can’t lose! To get the most out of the pass, which is $63, or $58 for Key Holders, you need each item to be over $7.75 (or $7.25 for Key Holders). Most of the items are above this threshold. Some of the non-alcoholic drinks and desserts are closer to the break even point, so look out for those. Another tip – order at one booth and take the receipt to the other booths for redemption. – https://www.micechat.com/381303-make-the-most-of-your-sip-savor-pass-at-california-adventure-food-wine-festival/

Sip & Savor pass purchasers should be sure to get the free picnic plate that comes with the pass. The plate is blue, and shaped like Mickey, with park icons printed on it. When we got our pass, this was not available, but it was the next day. – https://www.micechat.com/410123-disneyland-update-crowd-crush-festival-feasts-disneyland-delays/

This year there is a lot of good Food and Wine Fest merchandise! From a Mickey Ear headband, to kitchenware, to toys and bags, there is something for everyone. – https://wdwnt.com/2025/02/new-2025-disney-california-adventure-food-wine-festival-merchandise-includes-mickey-ear-headband-spirit-jersey-and-more/

Railroad fans should be very happy about this story – the Disneyland Railroad Tour is returning. Starting March 21st, guests will be able to take this tour again, which is 90 minutes, and includes a ride inside the Lilly Belle. The Lilly Belle is the last train car from Disneyland’s opening day and was decorated by Lillian Disney herself. The tour also includes a treat, a tour of the roundhouse back stage, a meet and greet with a train engineer, and a special keepsake. The tour is $145 per person, with reservations open now. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/02/28/a-fan-favorite-tour-is-returning-soon-at-disneyland-resort/

The signaling building that caught fire back in 2022 at the New Orleans Square station has finally been removed. There are still walls up around the former location, but the building is gone. In other train news, the trains have been cycling around the replaced track and should be opening any time now. – https://www.micechat.com/410123-disneyland-update-crowd-crush-festival-feasts-disneyland-delays/

Indiana Jones just had it’s 30th anniversary, and Club 33 is celebrating! For Weeklyteers lucky enough to have access to Club 33, there is an Indiana Jones Ceramic Tiki Mug that features snakes, skulls, and temple emblems. It looks straight out of the temple itself! The mug is $85 and comes with a “Why did it have to be snakes?” cocktail. – https://wdwnt.com/2025/03/disneyland-club-33-celebrating-indiana-jones-adventure-anniversary-with-new-ceramic-mug/

Fans of the character headbands that have popped up around the resort in the last few months will be excited to hear about some additional characters! Baymax and Mochi (the cat from Big Hero 6) are now available to adorn your headband. – https://wdwnt.com/2025/02/baymax-and-mochi-plush-added-to-custom-character-headband-experience-at-disneyland-resort/
