“Celebrating Lunar New Year with my family at The Disneyland Resort was such a magical experience! It was, of course, filled with all of the Disney magic that we’ve come to expect and love when visiting the parks, but I also appreciate that I was able to learn with my children about a holiday celebrated by cultures different than our own. The Lucky Wishing Wall, for example, is a beautiful Lunar New Year tradition where you are able to write down your wishes for the new year and then tie them to the wall amongst all of the others for luck. The kids were also able to color and construct their own paper lantern decorations to take home. As an multicultural family of Polish and African-American, cultural traditions are so important to us and we love being able to experience that while visiting the Disney parks.” – Erika Kurzawa
