Hong Kong Disneyland's 20th Anniversary celebrations, explained

Hong Kong Disneyland opened in September 2005, and its 20th Anniversary celebrations — branded "The Most Magical Party of All" — are running through summer 2026 with new entertainment, exclusive merchandise and themed food.

What's new for the anniversary

  • "Friendtastic!" Parade — billed as the largest parade in the park's history, with 11 floats and 11 character groups.
  • "Disney Friends Live: Party at the Castle" — a new anniversary-exclusive castle stage show featuring Mickey & Friends, Duffy & Friends and the Disney princesses.
  • Anniversary-themed merchandise and food items available for the duration of the celebration.

Looking further ahead

Hong Kong Disneyland has continued to add Marvel-themed attractions in recent years, and further expansion in this direction has been reported by industry trade press, though no confirmed opening date has been announced as of this writing — industry expectations point to late 2026 at the earliest, more plausibly 2027.

Planning a visit

For ticketing, ride strategy and comparisons with Ocean Park, see our theme parks guide, and for on-site accommodation see our Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel guide. Anniversary periods tend to bring larger crowds on weekends and school holidays, so booking tickets in advance via the official app is worth doing rather than arriving without a plan.
