  • Tigger is even featured prominently in this year’s drum ceremony. Located near the Storyteller’s Statue in the Gardens of Imagination, large drums will take center stage in a special Drum Ceremony that fills the park with the sound of beating drums to attract good fortune and happiness for all! Presided by Mickey, Minnie, and Tigger, the special ceremony rings in the year of the Tiger.

  • Later in the evening, guests can also take in a special addition to “ILLUMINATE! A Nighttime Celebration.” After the main show, “Our Families,” a vibrant projection of lanterns and enigmatic music inspired by the season are interspersed with visuals of beloved Disney characters, including Mickey and his pals, Nick and Judy, and Baymax and Hiro will take place. Also running from January 31 to February 16, this spectacular will also feature seasonal-exclusive elements: tiger-themed lanterns will add unique accents to the Castle projection; special fireworks will write the Chinese character for “Tiger” in the night sky, bringing everyone an unforgettable moment.
