Hong Kong Disneyland today officially welcomed famed entertainer Jacky Cheung into the Disneyland family, naming the celebrity as the official Spokesperson for the Theme Park. As Spokesperson, Cheung will bring the magic of Disneyland Parks and Disney stories to the people of Hong Kong and Asia.

Hong Kong Disneyland Group Managing Director Don Robinson praised Cheung, "Jacky Cheung is a household name in Hong Kong and across Asia. He is a true gentleman, a man who has brought happiness to millions through his remarkable music, his outstanding film acting, his exceptional theatrical performances, and, most of all, through his generous spirit, his devotion to family and his many works for charity. He stands for everything that makes Disney so special - its unique brand of quality entertainment, its family values and its ability to touch people all over the world."

At the same event, Hong Kong Disneyland Vice President Marketing and Sales Roy Tan Hardy explained the Spokesperson's role and its importance to Hong Kong Disneyland. "Throughout Disney's history, from Walt Disney to current executives, the role of Spokesperson has been vital to what our company stands for -- as the public face for our unique brand of family entertainment. Hong Kong Disneyland's Spokesperson will be especially important. He will help us connect with new audiences in Asia - a new part of the world for Disneyland -- by introducing our values and heritage, the magic of Disneyland and the worlds of fun, fantasy and adventure inside our Theme Park."

"I have always hoped that Hong Kong will become better and better," Cheung said. "When Disney announced that it would open a Theme Park here in Hong Kong, I was indeed excited - this was something that we all very much look forward to. It is a great honor to be Hong Kong Disneyland's Spokesperson and I am thrilled to be a part of the Disney family, especially now that I have a child. I really hope that my family will have more fun places to visit, and more memorable  experiences together. As Disney's first flagship theme park in China, I wish Hong Kong Disneyland the greatest success."
