Every year, many people choose to ring in the New Year at Tokyo Disneyland. From December 31st to January 1st of the following year, there is also a special passport that allows fans and visitors to experience the warm and joyful atmosphere of celebrating New Year’s in the Disney parks. Mickey, Minnie, and other main Disney characters also dress up in traditional kimono to send their festive greetings, creating a lively and cheerful celebratory mood.

The limited-time New Year’s greeting performance event lasts only five days (from January 1st to January 5th), while New Year’s special merchandise goes on sale starting November 13th, 2015, and special New Year’s meals are available from December 25th, 2015. To celebrate the Year of the Monkey (Monkey sign), a plush toy charm of Monkey Abu is also being released. The Mickey and Minnie kimono couple is another popular item, and the Mickey Daruma popcorn bucket has become a must-buy collectible for fans.

Starting December 26th, Disney hotels within the park also offer special set meals featuring decorations such as kadomatsu (New Year’s pine decorations) and daruma (dolls symbolizing good luck), bringing a strong festive New Year’s atmosphere.
