Turning Red Meet & Greet Coming to Lunar New Year Festival at Disney California Adventure

Guests visiting Disney California Adventure during the Lunar New Year celebration will get to experience a Turning Red meet and greet! Characters Meilin and Ming from the film will be greeting guests during the festival.

The Lunar New Year celebration returns to Disney California Adventure from January 23 through February 18, 2024. The celebration will feature culinary delights, fun festivities and Disney Characters. Two new characters coming this year are Meilin and Ming from Turning Red.

The main character in the 2022 Pixar animated film is Meilin Lee, also known as Mei, with Ming Lee serving as her mother. Both possess the remarkable ability to morph into giant Red Pandas. While it hasn’t been officially confirmed, there’s a strong possibility that Mei will greet guests in her panda form, a practice already in place at Shanghai Disney Resort.

Other offerings coming to the Lunar New Year celebration include:

Mulan’s Lunar New Year Procession
Vocal Seoul at Sonoma Terrace
Special appearances by some popular Disney Characters—including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse—dressed in colorful attire
Innovative menus celebrating delicious Asian cuisine
Commemorative festive merchandise
Hurry Home – A Lunar New Year Celebration pre-show
Kid-friendly crafts and activities
Festive décor and more
