The Lunar New Year Celebration at Disney California Adventure Park has been expanded to 17 days in 2017 and will take place from January 20 to February 5. Festivities include delicious food, live musical performances along with fun-filled activities and entertainment that signal the start of the new year. Special limited-time merchandise will be available and Disney characters will be dressed in their Lunar New Year best.
Entertainment, Day and Night
You won’t want to miss the brand-new nighttime water show, Hurry Home – Lunar New Year Celebration, featuring Mulan and Mushu. This charming story of a Little Lantern on its journey home to join its Lantern family in celebrating Lunar New Year features animated appearances by Mulan and Mushu in “dream sequences” inspired by traditional Chinese paper cut-out style animation and a score highlighted by an original arrangement of the music created for the Grand Opening of Shanghai Disney Resort by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”).
The six-minute show will take place before “World of Color” each night. Towering fountains, dazzling lights and a moving score come together across Paradise Bay to tell a story of family and friendship.
Guests of all ages will enjoy an impressive array of authentic musicians and performers who’ll be at different venues throughout the day. And be on the lookout for Mulan, Mushu, Mickey, Minnie and Chip ‘n Dale, all dressed in their best and ready to take part in the fun.
A Bounty of Asian Cuisine
Take time to sample a variety of tastes from different Asian cultures. Specialty treats include food, beverages and sweets from China, Korea and Vietnam.
Special Décor and Gift Shopping
During this annual event, you’ll find portions of the park decked out with festive decorations in special colors chosen just for this year. Stroll beneath hundreds of ornamental lanterns and visit the New Year’s Wishing Wall, where you’re invited to add your own message for the coming year.
While you’re enjoying the festivities, you’ll have the opportunity to shop for special Lunar New Year themed apparel, merchandise and gift items.
