The Decorations

Disneyland was decked out in the most beautiful decorations. Imagine vibrant reds and golds everywhere, stunning lanterns adorning the pathways, and beautiful floral arrangements that just took my breath away. It was like walking through a festive wonderland, and of course, I couldn't resist snapping a gazillion photos. 📸

The Food

Oh, the food! Disney went all out with an incredible array of Asian culinary delights that were both a treat to the eyes and the palate. From steamed buns to dumplings, and the most delightful bubble teas, every bite was a celebration of the Lunar New Year. I indulged in some mouth-watering treats that were so good, I'm already dreaming about going back for more. 🍢🍵

The Entertainment

The entertainment was top-notch, with traditional dances, music performances, and even some special appearances by Mickey and Minnie dressed in their festive best! The highlight for me was the Mulan’s Lunar New Year Procession - a vibrant, energetic parade that truly captured the spirit of the celebration. Watching Mulan and her fearless dragon, Mushu, lead the procession was a moment I'll never forget.

Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or the Spring Festival, is one of the most important traditional holidays celebrated by many East Asian cultures including China, Korea, Vietnam, and others. It marks the beginning of the lunar calendar and typically falls between late January and mid-February.

Meeting Disney characters dressed in their Lunar New Year outfits was absolutely adorable. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy were all there in their festive attire, ready to take photos and spread the Lunar New Year cheer. Their outfits were so detailed and beautiful, it was clear that a lot of thought and care went into making this celebration special.

The Workshops

One of the things I loved most about the Lunar New Year celebration at Disneyland were the cultural workshops and activities. I got to learn about traditional crafts and even tried my hand at calligraphy, which was both fun and humbling. These interactive experiences added such a wonderful personal touch to the festivities and made me appreciate the rich cultural heritage behind the celebration even more.
