Industry Dynamics
The $3 increase in Sip and Savor pass prices follows last year's festival pricing at Disney California Adventure. Holiday food events at Disneyland Resort parks have become a recurring seasonal draw, and this year's pricing continues that established model.
Visitors planning a holiday trip should budget $52 for a Sip and Savor pass, or $49 with a Magic Keyholder pass, and note that each pass comes with six digital tabs for individual items. Booking park days around the Nov. 13 opening can help plan visits to the six marketplace booths and 11 eateries.
The takeaway
The 2026 Festival of Holidays adds new holiday dishes and a modest pass price increase, so guests planning a visit should compare the $52 standard pass against Magic Keyholder pricing before arriving. The festival's Nov. 13 to Jan. 6 run gives a long window for planning park visits.
What happens next
The Festival of Holidays opens Friday, Nov. 13, and runs through Jan. 6 at Disney California Adventure.
