The most anticipated holiday of the year—Chinese New Year—is just around the corner. From February 1 to February 24, 2013, Hong Kong Disneyland will launch brand-new celebration activities, featuring pure gold tones symbolizing wealth and fortune, starting with "gold" for the "Golden Year of Fortune" festive event. As soon as visitors step into the park, they'll be captivated by the dazzling Mickey Mouse golden boulder; "Main Street, U.S.A." will also take on a whole new golden look. Strolling down the gleaming "Main Street, U.S.A.", you'll find exquisite golden Mickey Mouse New Year decorations lining both sides. The park will also hand out red envelopes from the first to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, filling visitors' bags with chocolate gold coins and bringing good fortune their way. Additionally, ten gold-seeking hotspots are set up throughout the park.

In the newly opened "Grizzly Gulch" area, the exciting and fun "Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars" will take riders through a gold-filled treasure town; while the "Gold Pan Detection" area also displays lucky gold stones for guests to seek good fortune. Finally, head to "Fountain Plaza" to get splashed for added luck, aiming for the auspicious sign of "prosperity through water". Stepping into "Toy Story Land," ride the 27-meter-high "RC Racer" and the super-fun "Toy Soldier Parachute Drop" to send your luck soaring and experience "fortune falling from the sky". Then hop on the "Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin" for a turn of good luck. And of course, don't miss Hong Kong Disneyland’s most famous "Fantasy in the Sky" fireworks show to welcome a bright and brilliant New Year.
