Tasting Passport and annual passholder lounge

Updated 4/6/2016: Disney has dropped the price of the tasting passport to $39. Using the same numbers as below, the pass makes more sense for passholders, provided you only use it to purchase items that cost $6.00 or more. If you decide to get the passport, you're still better off paying cash for anything under $6, which includes all of the desserts and non-alcoholic beverage options.

None of the Marketplaces offer a discount to annual passholders, but APs can purchase a Tasting Passport for $45. The passport provides 6 tasting portions from the Festival Marketplaces, excluding alcohol. The passport itself is a plastic credential with 6 snap-off tabs, strung on a lanyard printed with an AP logo.

This passport makes almost no financial sense, and we recommend that you crunch the numbers before you purchase it. The average price of the 19 items you can purchase with this pass is $6.13, or $36.78 for six items. The pass is $45. At best, the passport saves you $6.84 if you use all six tabs to purchase the one $8 item offered at the Festival.

If you don't want that much wagyu beef and would instead like to sample some of everything. you would pay $46.71 to purchase one of each of the 6 most expensive food items. That's a tiny savings, which is completely lost if you use the passport to purchase even one item that costs $5 or less (as do all of the desserts).

Our advice – avoid the tasting passport unless you really, really want the lanyard it comes with. It won't save most people money, and it definitely does not save time. After purchasing the lanyard (which is available only at a kiosk outside the Blue Sky Cellar), you still must wait in line at each booth to place your order, and pay for any items you aren't using the pass for.

At $35, the pass might be a more attractive option for passholders, but right now it's a waste of money and I cringed to see how many people were wearing them this weekend.

However, passholders do have one nice bonus at this event, in the form of the passholder lounge in the Blue Sky Cellar. The lounge is open daily during the festival, and offers a shady place to escape the heat. While inside, you can pick up an AP-exclusive button, with a new design each week. You can also collect recipe cards of some of the marketplace offerings, and watch “Seasons of the Vine.” a short film that debuted with DCA opened in 2001.
