Night Market! As night falls, Main Street, U.S.A. and the Plaza will be

transformed into a special Night Market for Chinese New

is a special market filled with mobile stalls that offer festive

delicacies and specialties. Indulge in local Hong Kong

snacks with a Disney theme, like Mickey-shaped Maltose

Toast, Mickey-shaped Red Bean Pudding and Egg Puffs.

exclusive merchandise items such

as a Disney Greeting Windmill,

Disney Blessing Ornaments and

goodie bags, available in limited

quantities. Mickey and friends will

also appear at the Night Market to

wish everyone Kung Hey Fat Choi, and there will even be atmosphere entertainment

to drum up the festive spirit for families enjoying the market together.

From the first to the fifth day of the Lunar

New Year (February 16-20), the park will be

presenting guests with a newly designed

Year of the Dog-themed lai see packet

(while supplies last)! It contains a chocolate

gold coin and a merchandise coupon, giving

guests more reasons to shop for the new

year and share good fortune.

U.S.A. to share blessings with guests. Disney friends will appear in

different festive outfits day and night to offer their best wishes,

New Disney-themed elements throughout the year
