Shanghai Disneyland Expanding with Toy Story Land Opening in 2018

Toy Story Land is coming to Shanghai Disneyland in the parks first expansion since it opened in June. Ground was broken for the expansion with Chairman and CEO Bob Iger, President of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Bob Chapek, and Fan Xiping who is chairman of the Shanghai Shendi Group. The expansion is expected to open in 2018.

Here is what the Disney Parks Blog shared about Toy Story Land coming to Shanghai Disneyland:

We started the expansion even before opening Shanghai Disneyland in anticipation of its immense popularity in Mainland China. The characters from Toy Story have been well liked in China ever since the release of the first film in the franchise back in 1995, and Shanghai Disney Resort already has the only resort hotel in the world dedicated to the characters and stories from Toy Story. Our guests can’t get enough of Buzz, Woody and all of their pals, which made Toy Story an obvious choice for Shanghai Disneyland’s first expansion.
As you can tell from the logo, Toy Story Land at Shanghai Disneyland will be both authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese, making it a one-of-a-kind experience for our guests. Everyone’s favorite toys from one of the most popular franchises ever will come to life and play in a fully immersive land with three attractions and a themed character greeting area.
Shanghai Disneyland’s new Toy Story Land will be an experience guests can only have in Mainland China. It will be the perfect setting for all toys – old and new – to gather together for a day that’s more fun than a Barrel of Monkeys!

This expansion is exciting and there is to be at least 3 new and unique attractions once Toy Story Land is completed. Will you be visiting Shanghai Disneyland to see their version of Toy Story Land? Will it be completed before Toy Story Land opens in Disney World's Hollywood Studios? Stay tuned for more details.
