It is a song produced by an all-Filipino cast - written by the park’s very own Music Director, Rony Fortich, with vocals performed by Raki Vega and choreography created by Park Choreographer Jaime Del Prado. The music video was proudly produced to highlight the park’s many talented Filipino cast members and aims to inspire Filipino guests to share both the joy and “Pinoy pride” at Hong Kong Disneyland. Guests are able to unleash their energy and passion to create a moment that is uniquely theirs at Hong Kong Disneyland.
“World-class, state-of-the-art entertainment shows and performances are at the heart of the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort experience. We treasure Filipino talent and their passion of music and have been recruiting cast members from the Philippines even before we opened the Park ten years ago,” said David Lightbody, Director, Entertainment & Costuming, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. “After the completion of the park’s expansion with the launch of the three latest themed lands and the newly launched nighttime spectacular ‘Disney Paint the Night,’ we have seen the number of our Filipino cast members increase every year. With a diverse range of cast members from over 30 different nationalities, Filipino cast members currently hold major roles in a range of shows, both behind the scenes and on stage. The quality and energy of their performances has played an instrumental role in touching people’s heart and providing guests with the fondest memories of their Disney experience.”
Pinoy Pride in Bringing Magic to Guests
As an all-Filipino cast production, the “Find Your Light” music video features Filipino and English lyrics and sees the very best talent at the park shine and showcase their love for Disney. “Many Filipinos grow up surrounded by music and Disney stories, so I am very proud to show my Disney side here and be part of that story together with many of our Filipino talent,” said Rony Fortich, Musical Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, the composer of “Find Your Light.” “Since I joined the park when it opened in 2005, the unique story-telling and musical environment here has inspired me to find new, wonderful ways to tell stories through music. It is very fulfilling to see the smiles on our guests’ faces.” Vocalist, Raki Vega, shared her passion for performing in the park in her leading role as the host of the Broadway-style musical, “The Golden Mickeys.” “It’s a dream come true for me to perform on a Disney stage, and I have been blessed with the opportunity to try a range of different roles since I joined the park. I am thrilled to be the lead vocal on “Find Your Light,” as I feel it represents everything that is magical about Disney. It enables me to invite my Filipino friends to ‘take my hand’ so that they can share my joy at Hong Kong Disneyland,” Raki said.

All Filipino guests can embark on their own musical journey at Hong Kong Disneyland. The music begins right from the very moment they enter, with amazing tunes by the Hong Kong Disneyland Band, and the various atmospheric shows in the different themed lands.
