Hong Kong Disneyland will shimmer brilliantly day and night this Christmas season, as Disney’s Sparkling Christmas brings about spirited festivities that will make hearts glow.
From November 23, 2007 to January 2, 2008, Disney’s Sparkling Christmas will transform Hong Kong Disneyland into a fairytale Christmas playground, filled with delightful offerings and merriment. With Disney’s legendary attention to detail, guests will be immersed in a festive experience that will awaken their deepest emotions.
In a magical and touching moment, one lucky family helped bring the season’s first snow fall today, on Main Street U.S.A., initiating the countless Christmas stories and dreams that will unfold at Hong Kong Disneyland this season.
“The innovative entertainment during Disney’s Sparkling Christmas will transform the Park into an authentic Christmas experience,” said Maple Lee, Vice President, Marketing of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. “Guests’ personal festive tales and fantasies will be fulfilled even before the holiday season actually arrives.”
“With many alluring touches such as falling snow on Main Street U.S.A. each day, this will be a one-of-a-kind and intimate holiday season for guests and those they care about,” she added.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in the royal presence of four Disney Princess ice sculptures, will be surrounded by an awe-inspiring concerto of lights, music and color in the Sparkling Castle Lights and Ice Fantasy. Children and adults alike can enjoy a sneak peek of Santa and his Elves hard at work preparing for Christmas in Santa’s Workshop, and the entire Park will reverberate with the upbeat and rocking ‘Let It Snow’ Christmas Parade; Mickey Mouse and the Gang will dance and groove their way down Main Street U.S.A. to spunky versions of classic Christmas tunes.
As the brilliant Christmas lights are turned on throughout the Park, special hologram glasses will give guests extraordinary Christmas vision, and delightful patterns will appear when guests watch the Sparkling Castle Lights, the white glittering Christmas tree and even the Disney in the Stars fireworks display.
The scent of Christmas feasts, buffets, baking cookies and popcorn will pleasantly tingle the senses, throughout the resort. Children can head to the Christmas Kid Zone to write down their Christmas wishes to hang on a special Christmas tree or learn to draw jolly Christmas versions of Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh at Animation Academy. For further festive fun, children and adults alike can enjoy the holiday recreational activities at the two Disney themed hotels.
In addition to Christmas themed entertainment and attractions, the shops in the Park and the two Disney themed hotels will overflow with over 150 all-new gift ideas. With two main lines; Mickey Family in Romantic & Sparkling Christmas and Winnie The Pooh’s Inviting Gathering, finding that perfect Christmas gift will be a cinch this season. Touch that special someone with a glimmering photo frame, a colorful sweater, plush toys or signature Hong Kong Disneyland pins. The choice is endless this Christmas, with something for everyone
With the arrival of the holiday season, the Park’s opening hours will be extended until 11:00pm from December 21 – 30, 2007. On New Year’s Eve a rocking party will transform Hong Kong Disneyland into the biggest and hippest dance floor for guests to groove their way into 2008. With guest DJs and VJs spinning the latest tunes and a kaleidoscope of lighting effects, this will be the hottest club to be at, on the very last day of the year
To add to the holiday cheer, a variety of special promotions will help guests further immerse themselves into the festivities. Guests staying at the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Hollywood Hotel can enjoy the popular ‘Stay and Play for 2 Days’ offer, and delight in the heart warming Christmas entertainment in the Park for two days, for the price of one; while exclusive dining and accommodation benefits will be available upon purchasing Annual Passes2.
