It’s time for the Lunar New Year celebrations to begin at Disneyland Resort! Disneyland Resort’s Festival of Holidays was fun, but we’re ready to see what they’ve got in store for this next festival.

Disney California Adventure’s Lunar New Year Celebration officially starts today (January 21st) and runs through February 13th. Throughout the festival guests will get to enjoy new merch, special eats and drinks, unique entertainment, and more! The Festival has officially begun and we’re reporting from it LIVE! Let’s start exploring!

What is the Lunar New Year Festival?

During the Lunar New Year festival in Disney California Adventure park, Disney gives a “joyous tribute to Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean cultures.” The multicultural celebration is meant to be “filled with happy wishes for health, luck and prosperity throughout the Year of the Tiger!”

Throughout the festivities in Disneyland, there is live entertainment, celebrations, and of course, plenty of delicious food. Now, let’s take a look at how Disney is celebrating the Year of the Tiger!

Atmosphere

As you walk through part of the park, you’ll see a Lunar New Year sign to mark the start of the fun!

You’ll see more decorations and signs in parts of the park as well.

The festival takes place inside of Disney California Adventure park at Disneyland Resort, though you will find some tributes (like a beautiful mural) outside of the park itself.

Entertainment

There are various forms of entertainment you can enjoy during the Festival.

We started our day by checking out the Lucky Wishes Wall.

In this space (which is typically open from 10AM to 6PM) you can write your New Year’s Wishes…

…and tie them to the Wishing Wall.

This is a great opportunity to set your intentions for the year or give everyone an inspiring little note.

The wishing wall is meant to give you the chance to “reflect on the past and welcome a new year of prosperity and good fortune.”

Food

At the Lunar New Year festival, you’ll find some amazing food booths inspired a varieties of cuisines including Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese-inspired food!

The booths open at around 10:30AM, so that’s something you’ll want to keep in mind.

The Sip and Savor Pass is available for this celebration. If you buy the Sip and Savor Pass, you can get 6 tabs that you can then redeem for qualifying items at the booths. The dishes you’ll get through the Sip and Savor Pass are tasting-size portions though, so that’s just something to keep in mind!

Be sure to look and see if the item you’re wanting to get is eligible through the Sip and Savor Pass. And remember that Disneyland Resort Magic Key holders are eligible for a discount on the Sip and Savor Pass!

So far we’ve already seen menus and booths for Longevity Noodle Co., as well as…

…Lucky 8 Lantern…

…Prosperity Bao & Buns…

…and more.

We’ll be sharing reviews of lots of the food options available throughout the Festival, and we’ll update this post with more info when those reviews are available, so be sure to check back for that!
