And of course, we had to check out Mulan’s New Year Procession, which features Mulan, traditional Asian dancing, and a Chinese dragon — well, two dragons, because Mushu is part of the procession, too! Tigger, the official Year of the Tiger mascot, led the processional.

You can also participate in the New Year’s Wishes activity, where you can write down all your wishes for the New Year on a red tag and tie it to the wishing wall.

Plus, there are also arts and crafts activities! At the crafts tables are bowls of crayons, as well as a detailed explanation of ancient Chinese dragon lore…

…and a “Pearl of Wisdom” fan to color! These fans are used in the dragon procession because, according to Chinese lore, the dragon captures the pearls in its mouth to gain the power to soar to the heavens.

The other side of the fan is already colorful, so you can use a similar color scheme or one of your own!

So if you get a chance to visit Disney California Adventure between January 21st to February 13th, be sure to check out all the festivities! And we’ll continue to share everything about the Lunar New Year Celebration as it happens, so stay tuned to AllEars!
