Lunar New Year entertainment

Don’t miss “Mulan’s Lunar New Year Procession” with a Chinese dragon puppet, brave warriors, bold drummers and elegant dancers with Mulan and her loyal sidekick, Mushu.  Performances daily in Paradise Gardens Park.  The procession follows the parade route from near Guardians of the Galaxy down Hollywood Blvd down along the path to the pier and ends over near Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta.  No need to show up early there’s plenty of spots along the parade route.  The show is about 5 minutes long.  As always check the Disney app for performance times on the day you’re there!Most of the event takes place over in Paradise Gardens Park along the parade route and near Goofy’s Sky School. You’ll find the massive Lunar New Year sign that lets you know you’ve arrived at all the fun as seen in the photo above.

Over in this area you’ll find special appearances by popular Disney Characters dressed in colorful event costumes including Mickey, Minnie, Mulan, Mushu, and more!Enjoy more Lunar New Year traditions in this area including the Lucky Wishing Wall where you can add your own wish. Plus they will have an area with kid-friendly crafts and activities for free!

Magic Key holders

Magic Key holders get a small discount on the Sip and Savor pass.  See more information below about this pass.  Also Magic Key holders can get an exclusive Lunar New Year button under the Silly Symphony Swings.

Lunar New Year food and marketplaces

Additionally, there are special Lunar New Year-inspired food and beverage offerings for those looking to feast on authentic Asian fare.  Check out the 6 delicious Asian marketplaces paying homage to Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese cuisine.  Plus several dining locations will have Lunar New Year offerings.  For a complete list and printable scroll to the bottom of this post.  The marketplaces are …

  • Longevity Noodle Co.
  • Lucky 8 Lantern
  • Prosperity Bao and Buns

I have eaten many of the Lunar New Year offerings.  The Mickey shaped macaron is a Strawberry Milk Tea Macaron, very good!  I’ve also tried the Mickey Chinese hot dog bun and I was not a fan, but I don’t like hot dogs.  The garlic noodles were delicious and the spicy noodles were too spicy for me.

About Shantelle

Hello and welcome to my page where I share tips, information, strategies, news, events and more mainly about the Disneyland Resort. Growing up my grandparents owned a travel agency. I watched my grandmother plan and lead tours all over the world. Between her and my mother, I learned the importance of planning before you go on a trip to make the most out of your time. While my main focus is Disneyland you’ll find info about other Disney parks and Disney cruises too!
If you’re overwhelmed or need help planning your trip I offer customized touring plans.
