Everyone in Hong Kong keeps getting ready for the Chinese New Year festivities! You find references to the upcoming New Year everywhere around the city, and there is one very special place where we are ‘doubly’ excited about it…in fact, we are absolutely delighted that the upcoming year in the Chinese zodiac is the Year of the Rat 🙂 Guessed already?
Of course, we are talking of Disneyland, a total favorite among family destinations in Hong Kong. A wonderful place full of magic that is home to some of the most popular animated characters of all times, including a sweet and funny Disney couple, made up of the most famous pair of mice in the whole world: Mickey and Minnie Mouse!
Disneyland Hong Kong has therefore prepared several events and kawaii installations to celebrate in style what they conveniently named Year of the Mouse. We learned the place is bursting with Mickey-shaped items of all sorts, from plants to Fai-Chun decorations. There will be a walk of fortune along ‘Mickey’s Lucky Trail’, where Mickey and his best friends are all dressed up for the occasion, and guests will be offered red packets according to tradition (instead of cash, they will get golden chocolate coins and merchandising/dining coupons). Restaurants inside the park will serve many new dishes, and their shops will launch many new gifts, especially designed to celebrate CNY.
We spotted some nice pictures on the Discover Hong Kong Facebook page, check them out below, and tell us which you like best!
