Mickey and Minnie Mouse are set to dazzle in
glamorous gold costumes at Hong Kong Disneyland this Sunday as they extend a warm welcome to
guests during the Golden Week holiday.
Guests holding special day tickets can enjoy reserved admission to Hong
Kong Disneyland while pre-purchased special day tickets are encouraged for
those still planning their visit on the designated special days from 30 April
through to 6 May 2006.
The park and two resort hotels will sprinkle pixie dust over the popular golden
week holiday by introducing a host of glittering touches - from family entertainment to themed dining - to delight guests of all ages.
For the first time ever, guests can celebrate with Mickey and Minnie in their
festive Golden Week finery as they appear in the spectacular Disney on Parade, which will be performed twice daily throughout the holiday week at
1:00pm and 3:30pm.
The golden tribute continues with the launch of simplified Chinese subtitles at
the two Broadway-style shows – The Golden Mickeys and The Festival of the
Lion King, a special feature added to enrich the theatrical experience for
mainland guests.
Bill Ernest, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Hong Kong
Disneyland Resort said, “Hong Kong Disneyland will glitter during Golden
Week and we’re excited to welcome guests from both Hong Kong and mainland China during this holiday.
“To make our guest service even more magical during Golden Week, we have
arranged additional welcome counters in Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Adventureland to assist guests with tips for making the most of their visit.”
Guests should also look out for the guest service
counters located in Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Adventureland. Friendly cast members will
be on hand throughout Golden week to provide assistance and to give out colorful Magical Tips sheets. Colorfully decorated with images of
beloved Disney characters, the Magical Tips sheets provide handy hints and useful
information to help every guest make their visit even more magical.
With a golden theme prevailing throughout the park, guests can be on the
look out for the glittering touches that are sure to make their Golden Week
shimmer. Gold accents that blend seamlessly into the park’s magical design
include the spires on the Sleeping Beauty Castle, intricate gold leaf paint on
Cinderella’s Carousel in Fantasyland and The Golden Mickeys show which
lights up the Storybook Theatre in a dazzling golden hue. As a final touch, the
Disney in the Stars fireworks extravaganza paints the night sky with a gold
comet cake.
Hong Kong Disneyland’s opening hours will be extended during Golden Week,
opening earlier than usual at 9:30am, and closing later at 9:00pm daily from
April 30 – May 5, 2006. From May 6-7, the opening hours will be 10.00am to
9.00pm.
