It’s time to reunite and feel the magic once again.”

Audrey Leung, Guest Relations Host, Park Operations added “I’m really thrilled about our long-awaited park reopening! It’s a great feeling to once again be working face-to-face with my fellow teammates, and to welcome our guests returning to this magical place.”

Guests were treated to an array of surprises - from a refurbished Emporium in which the store’s layout has been divided into exciting themed displays to Instagram-friendly desserts and new photo spots.

Stephen Yeung, Executive Sous Chef - Park, Food & Beverage, commented "just hearing the park’s background music makes me feel like I’m home."

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort’s commitment and support of its guests and community extends beyond the park. During closure, the resort partnered with local non-profit organisations to support more than 2,000 underserved families during this difficult time.
