Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) is rolling out the red carpet for its 20th anniversary with a spectacular year-long celebration set to begin on June 28.
Titled “The Most Magical Party of All,” the celebration promises to transform the park with dazzling entertainment, vibrant festivities, and exclusive experiences from day to night.
In a star-studded pre-party event, more than 500 media representatives, Disney fans and influencers from around the globe, along with 300 Magic Access Members, were treated to a first look at what’s in store. The preview included a lively red carpet fashion showcase on Main Street, U.S.A., where Mickey Mouse, Duffy and Friends, Disney Princesses, cast members, and performers debuted 20th anniversary party outfits, setting the tone for what promises to be the park’s most exciting celebration yet.
“We’re thrilled to kick off The Most Magical Party of All,” said Michael Moriarty, Managing Director of HKDL. “This milestone year will be filled with immersive entertainment, extraordinary moments and boundless Disney magic. We can’t wait to welcome guests from around the world.”
A day-to-night celebration in true Disney style
The festivities feature three unmissable entertainment experiences, beginning with a brand-new castle stage show, followed by the park’s largest-ever parade, and concluding each evening with a breathtaking nighttime spectacular.
At the heart of the day is “Disney Friends Live: Party at the Castle!” — a high-energy, 15-minute concert-style show set against the Castle of Magical Dreams. Guests can expect pop music, dynamic dance performances, and appearances by Mickey, Minnie, Duffy and Friends, and Princesses Aurora, Tiana and Belle in never-before-seen party attire. With original songs, giant balloons, LED screens, and scenic effects like fog jets and cold pyro, the castle stage transforms into a vibrant celebration zone.
The excitement continues with the all-new “Friendtastic!” parade — the biggest in HKDL’s history. Lasting 30 minutes, the parade features 11 immersive floats and over 100 performers, with appearances from over 30 Disney characters. Guests will spot favourites from Encanto, Turning Red, Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Toy Story, and more. Parade highlights include the Casa Madrigal float, complete with glowing doors and dancing tiles, and debut HKDL appearances from Red Panda Mei, Isabela, and Officer Clawhauser.
“This celebration showcases how Disney entertainment has reached new heights,” said Paul Rivet, Executive Director of Entertainment at HKDL. “It’s a magical party that builds excitement as the day unfolds.”
As night falls, the magic culminates with “Momentous: Party in the Night Sky”, a reimagined version of the park’s beloved nighttime show. Spanning the area from the Castle of Magical Dreams to Main Street, U.S.A., the new edition integrates eight multimedia elements including drones, 3D projection mapping, lasers, choreographed fountains, flames, and pyrotechnics. The show will last nearly 30 minutes, celebrating iconic Disney stories from Sleeping Beauty to The Princess and the Frog. The spectacle opens with the Fairy Godmother’s call to Mickey, igniting a glowing 20th anniversary logo in the sky.
Exclusive eats, treats and themed merchandise
Guests can feast their way through the celebration with over 80 new food and drink items served across the park and resort hotels. From themed treats to celebratory dining experiences, the menu has been curated to complement the festive atmosphere.
To complete the look, HKDL is launching over 300 exclusive merchandise items across six themed collections. Whether you’re looking for sparkly accessories, commemorative souvenirs or stylish apparel, the anniversary collections are designed to help guests dress the part and take a little magic home.
Special moments and keepsakes
Disney PhotoPass photographers will be on hand throughout the park to help guests capture their memories. Each visitor will be entitled to a complimentary digital party photo, which can be downloaded through the PhotoPass Mobile App. From character meet-and-greets to attraction shots, there are countless opportunities to snap the perfect moment.
Guests can also continue the celebration after park hours by booking one of HKDL’s resort hotels, which are offering a 20th Anniversary Magical Party Room Pack. Themed decor, keepsake crafting activities, and a surprise complimentary gift will help extend the joy of the day into a night of private Disney magic.
The magic is everywhere
Throughout the resort, guests will discover interactive 20th anniversary invitations — from balloon art and themed latte art to sparkling mirrors in merchandise shops — all encouraging them to take part in the milestone festivities. These whimsical touches are scattered across the park and are designed to surprise and delight guests as they explore.
With immersive shows, spectacular entertainment and magical details around every corner, Hong Kong Disneyland’s 20th anniversary celebration promises to be its most memorable yet — a year-long party where every guest is invited to share in the magic.
