A Magical Surprise for Guests

As the gates opened, a Japanese family who has held Magic Access membership joined the Disneyland Band to perform the 20th anniversary theme song “The Most Magical Party of All”. They also hand made a 20th anniversary costume for this event. It symbolizes the deep emotional connection between HKDL and its guests, many of whom have grown up with the resort being part of their lives.

“For two decades, Hong Kong Disneyland has been a leading tourism driver through world-class storytelling, unforgettable guest experiences and an unwavering commitment to the community," said D'Amaro. "Our 20th anniversary marks an exciting new chapter as we continue to expand, bringing even more beloved Disney stories to life."

Toy Story Land will welcome a brand‑new theatre in the first half of 2027, presenting an original Pixar‑themed show exclusive to Hong Kong Disneyland. The show introduces Poppy, a new character created especially for the performance. Poppy is a shy plush toy from Hong Kong who moves to Andy's neighbourhood with her owner, Aria, where Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, Rex and their friends help her adjust to her new surroundings.

The show will take audiences on a journey through beloved Pixar worlds including Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Cars, The Incredibles and Inside Out, while exploring themes of friendship and growth. An original theme song, “Bloom," has been created for the show.
