Shanghai Disney Resort prepares to ring in the Year of the Dragon
Shanghai Disney Resort is gearing up for an enchanting and immersive Year of the Dragon celebration, welcoming guests from Shanghai and beyond to experience a Spring Festival filled with lively festivities, captivating entertainment, an abundance of seasonal foods and treats, and a dazzling display of festive merchandise from January 18 through February 24.
Disney characters have also been busy getting their fabulous outfits ready for the special occasion.
Mulan and Mushu will join the daily Spring Festival Drum Ceremony for the first time.
This year marks the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac, and Mushu, the fun-loving dragon and sidekick to Mulan from the Walt Disney Animation Studios animated feature film "Mulan," will make his spectacular debut on January 18. The Garden of the Twelve Friends will undergo an amazing dragon-themed makeover, adorned with lanterns and other festive decorations.
Disney characters have also been busy getting their fabulous outfits ready for the special occasion. Mickey and friends are embracing the spirit of the Chinese New Year with garments adorned with elegant dragon scales and other symbols of good fortune. Duffy dons a dragon head-shaped hat in a vibrant shade of yellow that matches his Chinese-style jacket embellished with dragon scales, while the rest of his friends, including LinaBell, wear clothes decorated with lucky symbols and patterns to ring in the new year.
The outfits of Duffy and his friends are playfully inspired by the Year of the Dragon.
This year, guests at the Shanghai Disney Resort can also enjoy the return of many Spring Festival traditions. This includes the daily Spring Festival Drum Ceremony, which will be joined by Mulan and Mushu for the first time, as well as the Mickey Avenue Shanghai Swing. Here, visitors can catch a glimpse of Mickey and friends sporting their new Spring Festival looks for a festive celebration. God of Fortune Goofy will also be making an appearance on Mickey Avenue to wish guests good fortune in the new year. From February 11 to 24, visitors can witness two lions performing the traditional lion dance, further celebrating the Spring Festival's traditions.
