  • I can’t wait till Friday. Taking the day off from work specifically to see the Lunar New Year event. Is there going to be different characters to take pictures with? I hope so!

  • Year of the horse is the best.

  • Any chance the red envelopes will be available online somewhere?

  • I’m thrilled Disney finally released the dates for this, I really do not understand why dates can’t be released earlier for Disneyland events. However, I am sad that I will miss it by a few days, we are going the week prior. Oo well, maybe I’ll be able to find a tshirt early.

  • Any kind of celebration planned for WDW? I would hope they would do something in the World Showcase.

  • From what I can remember, DCA offered up some tasty food and drinks last year. Will there be any special food items available this year?

  • Any word about Shang also making an appearance?

  • Would love to see both Bullseye and Horace in traditional Chinese costume šŸ™‚

  • Kinda sad. They used to do these for a few weekends. Any chance it can be for more than one weekend?

  • Can’t wait! I love that the Lunar New Year celebration is back at Disney California Adventure. This being the Year of the Horse, any chance of us seeing Bullseye out in Lunar New Year outfit? šŸ™‚

  • Will Bullseye be visiting for Luner New Year, considering he is a horse? šŸ™‚

    • No, but one of our Disneyland horses will be making an appearance!

  • Very cool! I love how each year this celebration evolves and gets better. Can’t wait to see and experience everything. Thank you!
