“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 a 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.
