Welcome the Year of the Rabbit Together with Judy Hopps:

To celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, guests will be treated to a range of opportunities to encounter their favorite bunnies. From Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia, Judy Hopps will join the Spring Festival celebrations.
As one of the park’s beloved rabbit characters, Judy will receive her very own mosaic amongst the twelve zodiac signs in the Garden of the Twelve Friends.
Echoing the year’s optimism and her “try everything” attitude, the mosaic depicts Judy cheerfully heading to the metropolis of Zootopia by train as the landmark skyline awaits, brimming with adventure.

Judy will also appear in the popular shows returning to Mickey Avenue this year.
Joined by Mickey, Minnie, and their friends for an energetic gathering during the morning Spring Festival Drum Ceremony, Judy will keep guests thumping to the beat of the music as it fills each day with happiness and good fortune.
Additionally, guests will be able to catch Judy at selfie spots on Mickey Avenue, complete with a cheerful new overlay for the holidays that will make these photos a one-of-a-kind souvenir for the Year of the Rabbit.

Continuing the annual New Year tradition of wishing cards, guests will have the opportunity to receive a special rabbit-shaped card adorned with pictures of Judy or StellaLou in limited quantities each day, write down their intentions and wishes and hang them in the Garden of the Twelve Friends.
