It’s time to celebrate! The Lunar New Year Festival in Disney’s California Adventure is right around the corner.

Now, Disney has revealed what’s on the menu for the 2022 Lunar New Year Festival!

Disney’s Lunar New Year celebrations will run from January 21st through February 13th, 2022. This year is the Year of the Tiger, so you might even see Tigger bouncing around at the festival!

This special holiday is traditionally observed by Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean cultures. Disney’s festival celebrates the occasion with special foods and drinks, unique entertainment and cultural performances, and other activities!

Be on the lookout for characters like Mulan, Mushu, Mickey, Minnie all dressed in special outfits. Now, let’s take a look at the special foods just announced for this year’s festival!
