Quite possibly the most important traditional Chinese holiday on the calendar, Hong Kong Disneyland has put it's own stamp on the event. Traditional Chinese parades and costumes can be seen mixing it up with the magic of Disney.

Highlights usually include:

• seeing Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and all the Disney gang dressed in traditional Chinese clothing
• special Chinese meals in the parks and the hotels
• a range of commemorative merchandise
• beautiful peach blossom trees around the park
• wishing wells that contribute to charity foundations
• decorations all along Main Street and around the park

The Chinese New Year day itself, and often the days surrounding it, will be designated Special Ticket Days. This was a direct response to the first Chinese New Year celebrated in the park, in which crowd capacity was underestimated and the park was virtually mobbed by guests unable to get in. If you are planning on visiting Hong Kong Disneyland during the events, or around any special holiday for that matter, we highly recommend you plan your trip and buy your tickets in advance.

Chinese New Year starts on the first day of a new year containing a new moon. As such, we know that Chinese New Year (or 'Lunar New Year') will fall on the following date over the coming years:
