We have some exciting news for our Disneyland friends! Disney’s California Adventure and Disneyland parks are full of unique attractions, restaurants, and even characters. But did you know that they also have different FESTIVALS than the ones over in Disney World? Starting back in November, Disney’s California Adventure park kicked off its annual Festival of the Holidays celebration, which is different than the EPCOT festival you may be familiar with. But after the Festival of the Holidays is over, a NEW festival comes along to ring in the new year!

There is SO much to do in Disney California Adventure!
Recently, we found out that the Lunar New Year Festival in Disney California Adventure will start on January 21st and run through February 13th, 2022. As we get closer to the start of the event, we can take a look at the NEW menus that we just revealed for this year’s festivities!
The Lunar New Year Festival at California Adventure celebrates Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese cultures. Guests can enjoy special entertainment, food, characters, and more during this event!

Happy Lunar New Year!
2022 is the Year of the Tiger, so keep your eyes out for a special guest bouncing around throughout the day! (hint: It’s TIGGER!) Speaking of characters, we also found out that Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon will visit and help celebrate the new year!
