LOVE FROM LUKE BLOOD DRIVE


Founded by Discovery College alumni Jessica Inkin in 2022, Love From Luke is held annually to support Hong Kong’s blood donation efforts.

DUFFY AND FRIENDS PLAY DAYS


Everyone’s favourite Disney character franchise is taking centre stage at Hong Kong Disneyland from March 20, with Duffy, ShellieMay, Gelatoni, StellaLou, CookieAnn, ‘Olu Mel and LinaBell providing a series of fun fan experiences that feel both magical and warmly familiar. What we, and so many across Asia love about the gang is their curiosity, kindness and love of adventure, values that shine brightly during this seasonal event.


Bring your plushies along as you explore and stop for springtime photo ops set up just for Duffy and Friends’ fans. You can also drop by the Duffy and Friends Playhouse for a hug and a quick chat, then catch all seven characters marching, singing and dancing together in Friendtastic, the park’s largest parade. StellaLou fans can see her perform with the Hong Kong Ballet in StellaLou’s Wonderful Wishes Ballet, and the whole gang appears in Disney Friends Live: Party at the Castle! alongside Mickey and Friends and the Disney Princesses. As night falls, Duffy and Friends are back on stage making a special appearance during Momentous: Party in the Night Sky.


If you’re planning an overnight stay at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, be sure to check-in on a Tuesday, with access to the Kingdom Club where Duffy, ShellieMay and LinaBell are taking turns to say goodnight to fans. Bring your own bedtime plushie and stop by before turning in for the night. [PHOTOS COURTESY OF Hong Kong Disneyland.]
