Hong Kong Disneyland Cancels Fireworks in Wake of Apartment Fire Tragedy

They're also paying respect by turning their website's home page black and white.

The city of Hong Kong suffered a horrible tragedy as several buildings in the city caught fire. The nearby Hong Kong Disneyland is reacting by canceling their fireworks show and making a subtle change to their website.

What's Happening:

  • Over the last two days, firefighters have been battling a major fire that engulfed seven apartment blocks in Hong Kong's Tai Po district. According to the BBC, 75 people have been killed and 76 others injured. At least another 270 people are still missing and 11 firefighters have also been injured.
  • With Hong Kong Disneyland being located very nearby, they have made the decision to cancel their fireworks spectacular, Momentous: Party in the Night Sky, on November 27th out of respect.
  • UPDATE (December 1st, 6:30 a.m. PT): Momentous: Party in the Night Sky has now also been canceled through December 7th.
  • Guests who entered the park on November 27th through December 7th with a valid ticket may use the original ticket for revisit on another day within 6 months from the day of entry.
  • It's likely, but not confirmed, that the show will continue to be cancelled as firefighters continue to battle the fire.
  • As an additional form of respect, the Hong Kong Disneyland website's homepage has been given a black and white overlay.
