What’s not confirmed

Disney has not confirmed through these reports any pricing for the marketplace items, full booth menus, daily operating hours, tasting pass details, or whether every named item will be available every day of the festival.

The reports also do not state where each individual marketplace booth is positioned inside Disney California Adventure, beyond noting that festival maps are posted around the park.

What it means for your trip

If you are visiting Disney California Adventure on or after November 13, treat the Performance Corridor and posted festival maps as your first orientation point before committing to a food booth line. With six marketplaces, the practical move is to scan the map first, then group nearby booths instead of crisscrossing the park for one item at a time.

The named savory items point to a heavier, meal-replacement style festival lineup: Holiday Brisket, Braised Pork Belly Adobo, Reimagined Beef Wellington, Turkey Tamale, and Chorizo Queso Fundido are not just snack-window bites. If your group is splitting dishes, pick two savory booths first and save the sweeter options — like Cookie Butter & Jelly Cheesecake Tart, Sweet Potato Pecan Pie, or Hot Cocoa Macaron — for after you know what actually has a posted wait.

Because pricing and daily availability are not confirmed in the reports, use the Disneyland app and the posted festival signage in the park for the live version of the menu before you budget your meal around one specific item.
