Disney Unveils China Resort Plans

“We are incredibly excited about the developments and progress of the Disney resort in Shanghai, one of the world’s most vibrant cities,” says Tom Staggs, chairman, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “Shanghai Disney Resort will bring a classic Disney Parks experience to mainland China and will immerse Chinese guests in a whole new world of creativity, imagination and adventure that only Disney can deliver.” 

The models shown on Wednesday revealed that the theme park will include an 11-acre green space and the standard Enchanted Storybook Castle but with unique design elements.

“With Shanghai Disneyland, we’re creating a one-of-a-kind destination that is authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese,”
