Celebrating Hubby's Birthday & Vegan Offerings at 2023 Disney's California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

Hubby recently celebrated his 46th birthday over the weekend and requested that we spend a day at the Disney's California Adventure Food & Wine Festival which occured from March 3rd-April 25th. In addition to me and hubby, my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and nephew also hung out with us at the theme park.


 Prior to going to the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, I went online to the website of one of my favorite vegan Dinsey social media accounts "The Happiest Vegan on Earth" to find our what vegan items were available at the festival. 

Welcome to Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival sign

Upon arriving at Disney California Adventure, I got a tasting passport which is a booklet containing a lsit of all the food offerings available during the festival. In the tasting passort book, vegan options are referred to as plant-based and eating optiions were either a small tasting sie portion of a meal or for extra, one could pay for a full entree/ size.

The first place we stopped at was Avocado Time who had a Al Pastor Taco with Impossible Pork, grilled pineapple, and avocado-tomatillo sauce.


The restaurant at the Food & Wine Festival with the most vegan options (a full vegan menu!) was Paradise Garden Grill. The first item we sampled at Paradise Grill was Gyro Fries with Impossible ground beef, cauliflower cheese sauce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, tzatzki, and pita bread.


The second item we sampled at Paradise Grill was Bulgogi Fried Rice with Impossible beef, kimchi,vegan egg, pickled cucumber, green onions, and seasame seeds.


The third item we sampled at Paradise Grill was vegan mac and cheese.


The last item we sampled at Paradise Grill was a peach-blueberry cobbler with a oatmeal crust.


 After enjoing all of the vegan food options at the Food & Wine Festival, I was a little sad that these dishes would are only available until April 25th. Hopefully, some of the dishes I highlighted above will become permanent additions at Calfornia Adventure restaurants in which case I'd definitely return again to get a bigger entree' size of my favorite items which were the Bulgogi Fried Rice and the Impossible Gyro Fries.
