Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is the least visited Disney theme park in the world and the smallest Disney park. Hong Kong Disneyland has undergone numerous challenges over the years despite its amazing lineup of Disney attractions including the popular World of Frozen land.
This year is Hong Kong Disneyland’s 20th anniversary and the park is throwing a major celebration including new entertainment like a special nighttime spectacular, new food, merch, and the BIGGEST parade this park has ever seen.

First up in the new entertainment lineup for the Hong Kong 20th Anniversary Celebration is the “Disney Friends Live: Party at the Castle!” which will feature the 20th anniversary anthem, two brand-new original songs, giant balloons and colorful banners along with Mickey and Friends plus Duffy and Friends all in their new 20th anniversary party outfits. The Disney Princesses will even make an appearance in never-before-seen party attire.
Biggest Parade Ever Coming to Hong Kong Disneyland
Next up is the “Friendtastic! Parade” which is the largest-ever in scale parade at Hong Kong Disneyland. This new parade will feature 11 new floats, around 100 performers and more than 30 Disney characters. This parade will include four new original songs created just for the occasion!
Parade floats will feature themes from the Walt Disney Animation Studios films “Zootopia,” “Big Hero 6,” and “Encanto,” Pixar Animation Studios films “Toy Story,” “Monsters, Inc,” “Turning Red,” “Inside Out,” and “Up,” as well as Duffy and Friends and Disney Princesses.
The Encanto float pictured is easily one of the most impressive and will bring Casa Madrigal to life with dancing tiles, glowing doors, and flapping shutters.
This will also be the first time guests will see Isabela from “Encanto” at Hong Kong Disneyland along with Red Panda Mei from “Turning Red” and Officer Clawhauser from “Zootopia” all making their debut appearances. The parade will celebrate what makes Hong Kong Disneyland unique with Mickey’s live drumming and Hong Kong’s signature bauhinia flower decorations.
