Disneyland celebrates Year of the Tiger

"We weren't sure with COVID if they were going to be doing it this year; we are happy that they brought it back. It's amazing to learn about cultures," Morales said.

The Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, falls on Feb 1 this year. According to the Chinese zodiac, 2022 is the Year of the Tiger.

Red lanterns fluttered on poles in the park on Friday. Guests lined up to take photos with Disney characters wearing festive attire. The sound of stringed instruments playing Chinese folk songs and the children's song It's a Small World filled the sky.
