Hi there, Keddie! Welcome to planDisney. I am so excited that you are going to welcome the Year of the Horse with all the
Lunar New Year celebrations that California Adventure has to offer. You must be swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon if you want to experience all that this celebration has to offer. Let's get started!
As Mulan's grandmother once said, "A man's stomach is never full. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." With that being said, a
Sip and Savor Pass is the way to go to sample all of the tantalizing bites and drinks that this celebration has to offer. This scannable credential provides six digital coupons that can be used for select food and nonalcoholic beverages at Lunar New Year marketplaces and participating dining locations throughout this year's festival. You can preview the delicious menu on the
Disney Parks Blog to plan your tasting adventure!
If character meet and greets are your calling, then you need to visit Paradise Gardens Gazebo. Mickey and Minnie appear in beautifully colored Hanboks inspired by Korean attire, Goofy and Clarabelle wear Vietnamese aó dài, and Donald and Daisy don Chinese-inspired hanfu. You can also meet Horace Horsecollar in his own festive Chinese-inspired ensemble! Panda Mei can be found at Pixar Pier Bandstand, where you can chat with her about all things 4*Town. These characters are unique to the Lunar New Year celebrations, so I'd definitely take your time to capture these magical moments!
A smart warrior knows when to strike… and when to shop! Lunar New Year at California Adventure brings limited-time merchandise featuring familiar characters in the form of pins, apparel, plush dolls, Mickey Ear headbands, and even Pandora charms! Grab your favorites while they last and make your collection as legendary as Mulan's epic tale!
Keddie, thank you so much for visiting
planDisney with your question. I hope you have the best time welcoming the Year of the Horse in true Disney style during your upcoming trip. If you have any more questions before then, planDisney is here to help!
With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
