'Inside Out 2' lands in Hong Kong Disneyland Resort

MANILA, Philippines — School's out, and the long-awaited vacation begins! 

So unlike the summer that we know in the Philippines (which only has two seasons, the dry season from March to May, loosely referred to as summer; and the wet or rainy season, which is now prevailing), the summer season actually lasts from June to August, which is the perfect time for nonstop fun, cool moments and exciting adventures with friends and family. 

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort should be a good place to spend those moments in, as the happy place dives into the summer season with fan favorite characters, including Mickey and Friends, Stitch and Angel, Disney Princesses and Queens, Pixar Pals, and Duffy and Friends. Together you can cool off with water parties, go on thrilling adventures, and create memories during this fun-filled summer celebration. 

Join the much-awaited “Pixar Water Play Street Party!” as Anger from the Pixar Animation Studios Inside Out films explodes into Hong Kong Disneyland for the first time. Also enjoy the “Adventure Is Out There!” stage show with the new addition of Disney Animation’s Rapunzel and The Snuggly Duckling. To elevate the summer fun, the resort is bringing in a smashing line-up of brand-new cool delicacies, themed merchandise, and hotel experiences.

Embark on a magical summer experience with your favorite Disney Friends. Embrace the essence of summer vacation by celebrating with friends, just as you would at summer camp! This year, our Disney Friends will amplify the joy of summer with you.

With the new release of Pixar’s "Inside Out 2," Anger debuted at Hong Kong Disneyland with Joy and Sadness, adding an exciting twist to the cool party with splashes of water. More beloved Pixar Pals will make a comeback for the party, including Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and Bo Peep from Toy Story; Carl and Dug from Up; and Mr & Mrs Incredible, Frozone, and Edna Mode, from The Incredibles. And don’t forget to join the Toy Soldiers at Toy Soldier Boot Camp for even more fun.
