HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

Not sure if this was posted yet.

Seems like the theme for 20th Anniversary is Party and having fun!
From decoding the lyrics:
"So are you ready?
Feel the confetti
And sing it with me
Cause its time to celebrate
Tell everybody (Big or small)
It's the most magical party (The most Magical party of all!)"

Yea apparently a travel company released this photo to their HKDL page, I checked just now and they took it down.

Are they going to be performing most of the parade with the music during the preview tomorrow? or just displaying a float or two?

Was it said that we'll see part of the Parade tomorrow?

Yes but not sure if they meant an actual performance or more of a photo opportunity.

Good question, something I was wondering too. The resort said that the members will be able to see some floats (so I don't think all) and like TTA94 mentioned, its a photo-op. I'm not sure whether the resort will be making this live to the public since the parade preview is before park opening.

I'll be going on Sunday for the parade preview event so I'll keep y'all updated.

I’m excited about the 20th but do wish they would share some progress about construction going on in the park


We still have no idea what that Pixar experience is and how they will fill out the marvel area

Plus once those two are built the park only has one more expansion pad

Both Michael and the secretary for the HK Tourism Board implied that there is still more land available for expansion in the phase 1 park. I could be reading between the lines but the way they said it suggested there are still parcels of land remaining that could be used to support multiple expansions.

True, I don't think they will be announcing the Pixar experience area anytime soon, maybe end of 2025? They've also discussed how the new marvel area will have shops, retail and more entertainment complexes. Like user LameBoi said, there has been discussions in using more land to expand the park since they said that expanding could lead to more visitors.

The only land I can think of is the area east of big grizzly unless they plan to move core cast areas like north of arendelle but then it becomes a matter of where to move them to

True. The only obvious plot is the one that the Pavilion sits on/next to. Restructuring backstage takes some effort but it can be done. HK’s backstage is not densely packed compared to Disneyland’s and Tokyo’s. Tokyo is currently demolishing some backstage behind Adventureland. With Tahitian Terrace being remodeled to Moana supposedly, it clears the room for River View to be transformed into something.

Nope! I doubt it's leaving though, it's such a wonderful song. They also haven't announced whether this is an entirely new show or just a short addition to Momentous. The creative directors mentioned that this new show "Momentous: Party in the Night Sky!" will be roughly 30 minutes and will include a short story between Mickey and other Disney friends.
