Over 30 Disney Friends garbed in spring colors, including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Duffy and ShellieMay, will be joined by over 40 dancers in the high-energy and fun-filled Disney Friends Springtime Processional.

The park will also present Disney Friends of the Month, during which many Disney characters will make their debut in the park.

Fantasy Gardens will also have a makeover and become the Disney Friends Springtime Garden, featuring Winnie the Pooh, Bambi and other Disney Friends in all of the garden’s whimsical corners.

Likewise, more than 80 character-themed eggs featuring many new faces can be discovered in the park, bringing even more springtime surprises to guests.

To celebrate the release of the new movie, a number of new Beauty and the Beast items are coming to Hong Kong Disneyland — including Pandora!

Little princesses can put on the newly designed Belle princess dresses and meet both Belle and the Beast in the park, while a new collection of themed merchandise will also be available.
