‘Turning Red’ food, photo ops, preview coming to Disney World, Disneyland
The new Disney-Pixar coming of age film “Turning Red’ premieres on Disney+ only on March 11 and Disneyland, Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line have a few new offerings to celebrate the film’s release.
“Turning Red” introduces Mei Lee, a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, is never far from her daughter – an unfortunate reality for a teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited she “poofs” into a giant red panda.
Here’s what’s coming to the parks and the Disney Cruise Line:
