Hong Kong Disneyland announced Thursday that starting from Feb.
2, it will launch one month's celebration for the Chinese New
Year's Day falling on Feb. 18, the second such holiday for Mickey
since its landing in Hong Kong in 2005.
The park has already been decorated in red and gold, lucky
colors in Chinese tradition. Bright crackers, peach follower trees
and lucky greetings make the park soaked in holiday atmosphere. And
guests who visit the park during holiday will be welcomed by
special stage show and Disneyland friends in traditional Chinese
outfits, said a spokeswoman of the park.
Shadowed by the incident during last Chinese New Year holiday,
when the park turned away hundreds of ticket holders because of the
park was full, and Hong Kong Disneyland this time wants to try its
best to make up, she said.
If the park was full packed during the Chinese New Year holiday,
they will let guests know before they get to the entrance, the
spokeswoman said, adding that if they have already arrived at the
gate they will be provided other kinds of entertainment around a
nearby lake to avoid any incident of refusing guests.
Besides, the opening time of the park will be extended during
the holiday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time and traditional
Chinese holiday food and products will be introduced for the
special occasion, she added.
