<\/p>\nStarting November 21, 2020, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort will enter a magical milestone, as it officially celebrates its 15th anniversary with the opening of the reimagined castle \u2013 the Castle of Magical Dreams. On the same day, the resort\u2019s \u201cA Disney Christmas\u201d special event will kick-off to bring even more happiness to guests.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inspired by 13 stories of beloved Disney Princesses and Queens, the Castle of Magical Dreams offers something special for every guest with its many towers and spires embracing iconic patterns, textures, colors and ornamentation unique to each story.<\/p>\n
When the reimagined castle opens to the public \u2013 the first of its kind in Disney\u2019s history – not only will it be a living centerpiece of Hong Kong Disneyland, but it will also act as a shining beacon of courage, hope and possibility to all guests. Guests will be able to admire these features both up-close and afar, against the idyllic backdrop of the lush landscape of the surrounding mountains.<\/p>\n
As part of the castle\u2019s magical transformation, the resort invited guests, cast members, community partners and Disney friends, including Mickey Mouse, to share their own dreams and wishes on \u201cmagical dream cards.\u201d These cards were collected in a treasure chest and lifted to the top of the tallest tower in the castle. This act symbolizes the rebirth of the castle through the power of everyone\u2019s aspirations, ensuring that the heart of the resort will always be filled with hopes and dreams.<\/p>\n
This is the first time in Disney history that an existing castle has undergone such a grand transformation. To mark the occasion, guests can visit the \u201cBuilding a Dream: The Magic Behind a Disney Castle\u201d exhibition, and embark on a visual journey that goes behind the magic, discovering the Walt Disney Imagineering process of reimagining the beloved castle, and gaining insights into the transformation from concept and design development, to the innovative building techniques, interpretation of the Disney Princesses and Queens\u2019 stories in partnership with Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, and upcoming entertainment offerings.<\/p>\n
Starting the same day, a special \u201cGlimpse into the Magic\u201d tour of the Castle of Magical Dreams will be available to guests. This tour allows guests to venture through the castle, whilst being guided by an audio narration from local celebrity and Disney fan, Karena Lam. \u201cIt\u2019s a very immersive tour which allows guests to appreciate the architectural designs of the towers, turrets, domes, spires and finials, and see how their various colors, icons, patterns, and cultural features were inspired by the Princesses and Queens,\u201d Lam shared after experiencing the tour.<\/p>\n
To celebrate this historic milestone, the resort is launching a 15-day countdown to the 15th anniversary celebration from November 6 on the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort official website. This virtual countdown to the launch will also be available on the resort\u2019s Instagram account, inviting guests from all around the world to join in the celebrations.<\/p>\n
Since its grand opening, Hong Kong Disneyland has been a place where countless dreams have come true, and even more dreams will become a reality in the years to come. To celebrate the park\u2019s 15th birthday celebration, guests can gather even more joy and wonders at the entrance of the park with a limited edition 15th anniversary-themed button, which will be distributed to guests from November 21, while supplies last.<\/p>\n
