Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival will return March 2 through April 12, 2018, bringing delicious cuisine, specialty beverages and exciting entertainment to Disneyland Resort guests for its third season. The culinary festival will expand to six weeks, with more days for guests to enjoy the flavors of the Golden State.

More than a dozen Festival Marketplaces will feature California-inspired tastes and sips. Guests will experience presentations and demonstrations with celebrity chefs such as Robert Irvine and Alex Guarnaschelli; food and beverage tastings; winemaker dinners; beer, wine and spirit seminars – all in addition to live music, entertainment and special activities throughout the festival.

The festival’s signature events will include new experiences such as the Disney Family of Wines Dinner, as well as returning favorites like Sweet Sundays and the Winemaker or Brewmaster Dinners. Another guest-favorite returning to the festival is the Junior Chef experience, with hands-on fun led by Chef Goofy, for children ages 3 to 11.

This is a nice bit of scheduling news, but wasn't this spring festival already five weeks long last year? They tacked an extra week onto it? And pushed it out there as one of the 12 Days of Christmas things? The marketing interns there in Celebration, Florida are even more desperate than I feared.

Either that, or someone is putting something funny in their Keurig machine and they think this is more entertaining than it actually is.

EDIT: I Googled. It ran just over five weeks last year, March 10th through April 16th. 37 Days. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...th-additional-festival-marketplaces-and-more/

This year it's March 2nd through April 12th. 41 Days.

I guess 2018 California Food and Wine Festival Extended By Four Days! doesn't have the same ring to it.
