Disneyland Lunar New Year is an annual tradition that recognizes Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures and celebrates the celestial journey of the sun and the moon toward another year.

2024 Lunar New Year Dates

Disneyland Lunar New Year will take place from January 23, 2024, through February 18, 2024. This year the celebration rings in the Year of the Dragon with Asian-inspired food and beverages, vibrant décor, and Mushu leading the way in “Mulan’s Lunar New Year Procession.”

Disneyland Lunar New Year Food 2024

The 2024 Lunar New Year menu has been released! Below are the food offerings for this year. 

Disneyland celebrates Lunar New Year in the same style of food festival marketplace booths you will see during the holiday season and the Food & Wine Festival which you can find located on the pathway to Paradise Gardens.

These marketplace food booths are extremely popular which means lines can get long around peak lunch and dinner times, so hitting the booths outside those normal ‘eating' times can save you time spent in line. Or better yet, use mobile ordering for the Lunar New Year food options that offer that service like Paradise Garden Grill.

You can also order all of the food items you're interested in from one of the booths instead of going to each individual booth to order. The Cast Member will give you a receipt with the items listed out, and you'll then hang onto this and use it to redeem all of your food items from the various booths. When you arrive at each booth to pick up the items, the Cast Member there will ask for the receipt and cross out the item.

We have a FREE printable of all the foods for Disneyland Lunar New Year that is just for Mickey Visit newsletter subscribers. You'll find the printable on the next page after clicking the button below. For those who are already on the Mickey Visit newsletter you will have already received an email with the link to the printable.

Disneyland Lunar New Year 2024 Sip and Savor Pass

The Sip and Savor Pass, which consists of a commemorative lanyard and 6 coupons redeemable for food and beverage offerings (excluding alcohol), is redeemable for select food items at participating Lunar New Year Marketplaces and dining locations. You can read more about the Disney California Adventure Sip and Savor pass here.

This year, Disneyland is testing out a new way to redeem Sip and Savor Pass coupons with a scannable pass. To redeem one of these digital coupons, you will show your Sip and Savor pass to a Cast Member to scan, and then you will enter the 4-digit code on the pass. When your receipt is printed, you can see the remaining number of coupons. Or, if you are not sure how many you still have, you can ask a Cast Member at a festival marketplace to scan your pass and confirm the number. We thought the scannable Sip and Savor pass was very straightforward to use. One thing to note is that on the receipt, it says “Disney Dining Plan Balance,” but this is just how it is notated and does not mean that the Disney Dining Plan is available at Disneyland.

The pass will also be available in its traditional form with the coupons attached. For these, you will pull off one of the physical tabs still attached to your Sip and Savor Pass and hand it to a Cast Member to redeem for eligible food and drink items. The Sip and Savor offerings at participating locations will be tasting-sized portions rather than full-sized entrees.

The Sip and Savor Pass can be redeemed at the Disney California Adventure locations below:

Lunar New Year Marketplaces

• Longevity Noodle Co.
• Lucky 8 Lantern
• Prosperity Bao & Buns
• Red Dragon Spice Traders
• Bamboo Blessings
• Wrapped with Love

Lunar New Year Dining Locations

• Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta
• Cappuccino Cart
• Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill
• Churros near Goofy's Sky School
• Churros near Redwood Creek Challenge Trail
• Churros at Hollywood Land
• Festival Food & Beverage Cart
• Lamplight Lounge
• Pym Test Kitchen
• Studio Catering Co.
• Terran Treats

Each Sip and Savor Pass is $46. In addition to a reduced price of $43, Disneyland Magic Key Holders will also receive a special Magic Keyholder lanyard. Tax is not applied to the pass so you'll also get an additional 8% savings on food.

The Sip and Savor Pass is available for sale at:

• Sip and Savor Cart
• Elias & Co.
• Julius Katz & Sons
• Rushin' River Outfitters
• Seaside Souvenirs
• Festival Merchandise

To get the most for your money, be sure to get a good idea of how much you will eat and if buying a pass is the most cost-effective option. You'll have the option to choose higher-value items when selecting which Lunar New Year snacks to redeem your pass for. One way to get a good deal is to split this with your group so that everyone can try everything for less money.

Lunar New Year Character Meet and Greets

You can also look forward to special character meet and greets at Paradise Gardens Park. These meet and greets are popular since Disney brings out some rare characters for photo ops like Mulan and Mushu, as well as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy.

The photo area takes place in a gorgeous pavilion with bamboo, peach blossoms, golden flowers, and banners bearing holiday wishes.

Disney teamed up with award-winning couture fashion designer Guo Pei, facilitated by the Asian Couture Federation, to create new Lunar New Year-inspired outfits for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Guo Pei is well-known throughout the fashion world in both China and internationally and has won dozens of awards for her designs. She is known for her devotion to conserving the traditional art of Chinese embroidery.

This partnership really shows the devotion to authenticity that Disney aims to accomplish with multicultural events like Lunar New Year. You can find Mickey and Minnie in Paradise Gardens- be sure to check the Disneyland app for their appearance times.

NEW Lunar New Year Turning Red Characters

New characters from Disney and Pixar's “Turning Red” are making their debut at this year's Disneyland Lunar New Year Festival. Meilin Lee and her mother, Ming Lee are available for meet and greets during the festival. Their meet-and-greet location is adjacent to The Little Mermaid ride on the path toward Grizzly Peak.

This is a great addition to the lineup of rare characters we often see at Disneyland Lunar New Year!

Turning Red fans can also look forward to Meilin appearing in the new Pixar Play Parade in her full Red Panda form. Pixar Fest will run after the Disneyland Lunar New Year Festival ends from April 26th, 2024 through August 4th, 2024.

Read more about Pixar Fest and the new Pixar Play Parade. 

Raya and the Last Dragon Meet and Greet

Disney has shared that guests will be able to meet Raya from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ film, Raya and the Last Dragon, again this year. She will be appearing in a special setting inspired by her native land of Kumandra in the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail.

Past Rare Character Appearances for Disneyland Lunar New Year

Last year, these two rare characters were offered. Oswald made regular appearances dressed in Lunar New Year attire in the Paradise Gardens gazebo located next to Goofy's Fly School. Oswald has made appearances at California Adventure before, but he's not a character you regularly see in the parks!

Even more exciting, Ortensia also did meet and greets at the Paradise Gardens gazebo for the first time ever in a US theme park! Ortensia has made an appearance at Disneyland Paris but never at Disneyland or Walt Disney World. Ortensia is featured as Oswald's girlfriend in the 1927 short film “The Banker's Daughter.”

There was a lot of hype over Ortensia's first-time experience at the parks. We were there to capture these photos on the first day of the celebration.

Disneyland Lunar New Year 2024 Entertainment

Some of the best entertainment options featured for Disneyland's Lunar New Year include appearances from beloved Disney character Mulan and a special World of Color prelude show!

Mulan’s Lunar New Year Procession

Mulan's Lunar New Year Procession travels from Hollywood Land to Paradise Gardens and features music, costumed performers, Mulan, Disney characters, a Chinese dragon puppet, warriors, and dancers. The march honors “the family, friendship, and the potential for a fortune-filled new year.”

For the Year of the Dragon, Mushu leads the way in this year's procession. This is the most anticipated entertainment event of Disneyland Lunar New Year, so make sure you don't miss it!

The procession and performance can be enjoyed multiple times throughout the day during the Lunar New Year celebration at 12:45 PM, 2:30 PM, 5:00 PM, and 6:45 PM. As always, check the Disneyland event calendar on the day of your visit to confirm any entertainment times.

We recommend lining up anywhere from 15-30 minutes before the show begins to get the best view as this is a popular event for Disneyland Lunar New Year. Many guests love seeing Mulan, who is a pretty rare Disney character we don't often see in the parks.

2024 Hurry Home – Lunar New Year Celebration Returns to World of Color

Hurry Home- Lunar New Year Celebration is another popular entertainment option at Disneyland's Lunar New Year. This six minute show previously preluded the first nightly showing of World of Color in California Adventure.

The story of the show is about Little Lantern who journeys home to celebrate the new year with family and friends. Along the way, he meets Mulan and Mushu and is a celebration of friendship. The show features sky-high fountains, light effects, and a musical score that was originally created for the opening ceremony of the Shanghai Disney Resort.

To get the best spot for World of Color to enjoy this show be sure to read our full guide to World of Color including tips on getting the best seats. World of Color also offers a seated Dessert Party option for guests that are looking to pamper themselves and splurge on their trip. Read my review to see how much we enjoyed this experience this past summer!

Lucky Wishing Wall, Performances, and Kids Activities

The Lucky Wishing Wall is located in Paradise Gardens and it's where guests of all ages can add their own special messages of hope, health and happiness for the upcoming year under the strings of ornamental lanterns.

Kids can also enjoy complimentary crafts, Chinese calligraphy demonstrations, and more at Paradise Gardens. Paradise Gardens is adorned in red and gold during the Lunar New Year celebration!

There's plenty of entertainment options to enjoy at Disneyland for the Lunar New Year celebration making it a must see on your trip to Disneyland!

Disneyland Lunar New Year Merchandise

Guests can find plenty of commemorative merchandise inspired by different cultures of East Asia. You can find spirit jerseys, themed Minnie Mouse ear headbands, a Mickey plush, a traditional red envelope set, and more.

As always, we expect the special Lunar New Year spirit jersey to be the most popular as many guests collect the different spirit jerseys released at the parks!
