Every year, Disney California Adventure Park hosts the multicultural Lunar New Year celebration, and one of our favorite things to do is to try all of the food at the festival marketplaces and other dining locations. Many Asian cultures are represented, including Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean flavors. This year, four festival-favorite marketplaces return along with two brand-new booths!
Lunar New Year Disneyland Food Menus 2023
Let's dig in! Here's the full list of Lunar New Year menus, listed by festival marketplace or dining location. We've even created a downloadable version of the festival menus for you to use in the park! You can also find them on Instagram @themeparkfrog. Since there are no printed tasting passports or menus this year, these menus are most hopful. Hop over to our main Lunar New Year guide for more information about entertainment, characters, crafts and Sip and Savor Passes.
