The Costumes of Lunar New Year 2026 | Mr. Daps Interviews Grace

The Lunar New Year celebration has returned to the Disneyland Resort. From January 23 through February 22, 2026, the cultures of Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese will be celebrated at Disney California Adventure. The obvious ways these traditions are honored can be seen in the entertainment, the food, and even the merchandise. However, there are some details found in the costumes that might illustrate the passion and the heart behind these traditions in a way that is even more profound. Each costume worn by each character during the Lunar New Year has intricate details, fabrics, and designs that teams of people have spent many hours working on. These costumes aren't just the work of one person, but multiple people. These costumes aren't just something that is made to replicate something seen somewhere. Instead, they are made to honor the cultures they represent. The people who create these costumes are passionate about what they are making. Some of these people also have personal cultural connections to the costumes that are being made. This is the story of Grace, one of the people behind the costumes that characters are wearing during the Lunar New Year celebration at the Disneyland Resort. During the media event for the Lunar New Year celebration at the Disneyland Resort, Grace spent a few minutes talking with Daps Magic about the costumes that are seen on characters in the parks during this seasonal celebration. Check out this interview where Grace gives a look at the costumes that are seen on the characters for Lunar New Year, along with some insight behind them.
