Disney’s Least Visited Theme Park Announces Huge Summer Anniversary Celebration

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.

So why is Hong Kong Disneyland considered the least popular Disney park in the world? Well, some of these issues impacting the park include smaller local populations, political unrest, as well as financial struggles and ownership issues. You can read more about this in our article that uncovers all the reasons that contribute to Hong Kong Disneyland’s lowest attendance ranking amongst the other Disney Parks. 

This is why a big celebration for Hong Kong Disneyland’s 20th anniversary is a great thing for the park to draw in more visitors and further broadcast the great attractions and entertainment this park has to offer. The Hong Kong Disneyland 20th Anniversary Celebration will start on June 28, 2025.

The anniversary will include a new castle stage show, the largest-ever in scale parade at Hong Kong Disneyland, a nighttime spectacular and new character outfits along with merchandise and food offerings.

The Disney Princesses will even make an appearance in never-before-seen party attire.

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.
