Okay, just deep dived it a little more and looked up last years article lol. It's not that much less than last year.
For savory options, last year there was 12 and this year there is 9. For sweets, last year there was 4 and this year there is 3. There's a ton of drinks last year and this year, didn't want to count--too many haha. This is only the FoH booths I'm counting btw, not offerings at other DCA spots. And last year in the FoH article they mentioned the Paradise Garden Grill options. Maybe they will announce that or update the article later this week?
I think my initial impression of, "woah this feels like a lot less" more has to do with the fact that last years offerings appealed more to my personal palate. Of course, the year I didn't go haha. I'm still very excited though, and this year has some very tasty sounding stuff and some repeats of favorites.
Last year, they released their Disneyland Holiday Food article the day before the Festival of Holidays one. So I'm sure they'll release the Disneyland one soon
