THE MAGIC IS NOW! Hong Kong Disneyland reopens today

HONG KONG, April 21, 2022 – It is finally time to reunite at Hong Kong Disneyland — where magic happens and dreams come true for everyone. This morning, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, together with Michael Moriarty, Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and all our happy and excited cast members greeted guests and celebrated their return with a joyous welcome moment.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort Ambassadors, Lily Chan and Tony Dick, also joined 50 Disney pals and performers to wave at guests and share in this exciting moment. A group of beloved Disney friends including Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, and Chip ‘n’ Dale could not wait to see the happy guests once again! Snow White and Dopey, along with Alice and the White Rabbit; Disney Princesses including Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle and Tiana; Duffy the Disney Bear, ShellieMay, StellaLou and ‘Olu Mel, as well as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore, all danced with energy and joy to an upbeat Disney tune during this memorable moment.

“#TheMagicIsNow! It’s time to reunite and feel the magic once again. With the reopening today, we have prepared an array of surprises for our guests to make sure each celebration creates lasting precious memories. In appreciation of the support of our Disney fans, and to spread happiness with our community even further, we have doubled the magic of our previously announced online ticket donation by giving out a total of 10,000 park admission tickets to seven local NGOs - up from 5,000 tickets to five previously announced NGOs.” said Michael Moriarty, Managing Director, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

Time to reunite and celebrate special occasions with Disney friends!

Disney friends will be pairing up to take selfies with guests, doubling the magic. Guests will have the chance to see Woody together with Bo Peep, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie, as well as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde! Several other Disney friends are eager to share special occasions with guests - including their own anniversaries! In April, Chip 'n’ Dale are ready to make guests giggle with their adorable greetings. In May, guests can look forward to sharing their dreams with our star of the month, Goofy, and celebrate with Donald Duck and Stitch in June.
