Not only have we seen SO many adorable merchandise items around Disney World and on shopDisney, but Shanghai Disneyland is having an entire festival to celebrate!

This year is the year of the Ox, and Shanghai Disneyland will be hosting “A Spring Festival Spectacular“! The entire resort will be filled with traditional festive Chinese games, and “sounds and tastes combined with special touches of Disney magic.”

From January 19th to February 26th, this event will offer holiday decor and character experiences. Mickey & Friends (including Duffy and his pals) will be dressed up in brand new holiday outfits! “God of Fortune” Goofy will also be there to wish everyone excitement and luck in the new year. Guests will have a limited time to see Mickey and Minnie in their new costumes on February 12th, which is the first day of Lunar New Year!

This event marks the debut of one of Mickey’s friends, Clarabelle Cow and the show called “Our Families.” This is described as a unique show that will take place every night after the nighttime projections on the castle.

And from February 8th to February 14th, the Shanghainese version of “Once Upon a Time” , recorded by Pan Hong, will return to the Enchanted Storybook Castle and immerse guests in the local culture.

With the new nighttime show also comes a “Spring Festival Drum Ceremony” and the “Mickey Avenue Shanghai Swing” to get guests up and celebrating! Plus, Disney Friends decorations that were specially made for the festival can be found throughout the resort.
