This procession takes place daily during the Lunar New Year Celebration. Mulan and Mushu are joined by Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip & Dale along with performers for this procession. The dancers showcase dancing, martial arts, and drumming throughout the course of the performance.

There are other entertainment options being offered for the Lunar New Year Celebration. This includes a pre-show for World of Color called Hurry Home – Lunar New Year Celebration.
