A Greener Disney Experience Begins!

In a spectacular move for Earth Month, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) is revolutionizing its Main Street taxi rides by going green! This exciting initiative introduces electric-powered taxis, marking a giant leap in HKDL's commitment to sustainability and a cleaner tomorrow.

Historic Charm Meets Modern Technology!

These revamped taxis not only ditch the gasoline engines but also maintain their charming vintage look reminiscent of early 20th-century horseless carriages. To enhance the experience, an onboard audio system replicates the sounds of traditional gas engines, ensuring guests enjoy a nostalgic ride while improving air quality.

A Solar-Powered Future!

But that's not all—HKDL has also launched Hong Kong's largest car park solar canopy, equipped with nearly 200 bi-facial solar panels that shelter 40 parking spaces in its first phase. Once completed, the total will increase to 400 solar panels, significantly boosting energy generation. This project alone is poised to produce over 200,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually!

Expanding Solar Initiatives to More Attractions!

Excitingly, the solar panel expansion will spread to the World of Frozen, where panels will be installed on the rooftops of attractions like Frozen Ever After and Wandering Oaken's Sliding Sleighs, showcasing HKDL's dedication to renewable energy.

Powering Homes and Vehicles!

By the end of 2025, HKDL anticipates having over 8,300 solar panels, enough to power approximately 1,200 households for a year! Plus, with 130 electric vehicle chargers installed throughout the resort, guests can enjoy a cleaner commuting option.

Harnessing AI for Sustainability!

Incorporating cutting-edge technology, HKDL has developed an AI Digital Twin model for their cooling systems, using artificial intelligence to optimize energy efficiency. This innovative solution not only enhances guest comfort but also dramatically cuts down on energy usage and carbon emissions.

Celebrating 20 Years of Magic!

Tim Sypko, HKDL's senior vice president of operations, stated, "We’re committed to positively influencing Hong Kong's tourism and environment. Our actions are about doing good while growing our business, ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.”

A Heartfelt Gift to the Community!

In true Disney spirit, HK Disneyland has also pledged to donate 200,000 park tickets to local NGOs and charities, inviting them to join in the celebration of its 20th anniversary. Applications are open from April 1 to April 30, 2025, giving local organizations a chance to experience the magic!
