Hong Kong Disneyland launches a year-long celebration, making it the perfect time to revisit the magic.
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) has officially launched its year-long 20th anniversary celebration with a day-to-night celebration that brought the park to life with music, color, and unforgettable moments shared by guests from across the region.
More than 1,000 invited guests—including celebrities, content creators, media, and partners from across Asia and the US—gathered along Main Street, brimming with excitement. The celebration kicked into full party mode as Mickey Mouse and his pals, joined by Duffy and Friends, made a grand entrance in brand-new 20th anniversary party outfits that shimmered under the lights.
The energy soared as performers took the stage, launching into the catchy anniversary theme song while the crowd clapped and swayed in joyful unison. Just when it felt like the night couldn’t get more spectacular, Main Street USA displayed vibrant pyrotechnics dancing their way toward the Castle of Magical Dreams. Fireworks and a fleet of drones lit up the sky, forming the glowing 20th anniversary logo high above the castle.
“Disney is known around the world for exceptional storytelling, and Hong Kong Disneyland is a shining reflection of that,” said Jill Estorino, president and managing director of Disney Parks International. “I’m so proud of how the resort has woven itself into the fabric of this community. It has become the tourism flagship, the largest employer in the tourism and family entertainment industry, and a source of happiness for so many. We look forward to a bright and bold future for Hong Kong Disneyland.”
Mickey Mouse made a magical entrance riding atop Dumbo the Flying Elephant, gliding past the crowd like a scene from a dream come to life. Not far behind, six Disney Princesses took a royal spin on the Cinderella Carousel, waving gracefully to party guests as they passed. Beloved characters roamed throughout Fantasyland, greeting guests with warm smiles, spreading joy and turning magical moments into lasting memories.
“As we celebrate 20 years of magic at Hong Kong Disneyland, we could not be more thrilled to launch The Most Magical Party of All in honor of this remarkable milestone,” said Michael Moriarty, managing director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. “This anniversary is a heartfelt tribute to guests who have visited and shared the joy of the Disney experience with us over the years, as well as the Disney fans who are planning to visit us for the very first time. It marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, filled with timeless storytelling, Disney spectaculars and immersive experiences that continue to enchant and inspire guests from all around the world. We warmly invite everyone to be part of The Most Magical Party of All!”
