Breaking: Exciting Details for Shanghai Disneyland Revealed

It is July 15 in Shanghai, China and just a little while ago Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced some exciting details for Shanghai Disneyland. The park is set to open in the Spring of 2016. It will be the first Disney theme park in the mainland of China and will have six themed lands with innovative attractions and immersive entertainment designed especially for Chinese guests.

In a presentation presented by Iger, Disney COO Tom Staggs, and President of Disney Parks & Resorts Bob Chapek at the Shanghai Expo Center revealed a full scale model of Shanghai Disneyland. It showcased key highlights of unique attractions, entertainment, dining and hotels. 

The park will feature two hotels, the Art-Nouveau-inspired Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and the Toy Story Hotel, inspired by the beloved Disney/Pixar films. Disneytown shopping district will include shopping, dining, and entertainment will be home to the Walt Disney Grand Theatre, which will be a separate ticket venue for the global premiere in Mandarin of Disney's theatrical event, The Lion King. Nearby the Wishing Star Park will offer natural wonders that include lovely gardens and a glittering lake.

Iger said, "We are building something truly special here in Shanghai that not only showcases the best of Disney’s storytelling but also celebrates and incorporates China’s incredibly rich heritage to create a one-of-a-kind destination that will delight and entertain the people of China for generations to come,” Iger said. “We are taking everything we’ve learned from our six decades of exceeding expectations—along with our relentless innovation and famous creativity to create a truly magical place that is both authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese."

Adventure Isle

Adventure Isle will immerse guests in a newly discovered lost world, filled with hidden treasures. The mighty Roaring Mountain will tower over guests and they may blaze their own trails at Camp Discovery, travel around the world on Soaring over the Horizon, or embark on the thrilling rafting adventure through the heart of Adventure Isle on Roaring Rapids.

Gardens of Imagination celebrates the wonders of nature and the joy of imagination. Guests will take a spin on the Fantasia Carousel, soar on the back of Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and enjoy the area’s iconic Disney entertainment, including Castle stage shows and Ignite the Dream, a Nighttime Spectacular of Magic and Light. From several places in this land, guests will enjoy Mickey’s Storybook Express, a parade with its own musical soundtrack and colorful performers on the longest parade route in a Disney park.

Mickey Avenue is the first main entry at a Disney park inspired by the colorful personalities of Mickey Mouse and his pals. In the neighborhoods of this whimsical avenue, guests will share a hug and get a photo with some all-time favorite Disney characters. Avenue M Arcade, one of the many shops along the avenue, will feature the largest selection of gifts and collectibles inside the theme park.

TRON Lightcycle Power Run

Tomorrowland celebrates the limitless possibilities and optimism of the future in Shanghai. Disney’s innovative use of technology has produced a land where guests will go to infinity and beyond on Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue, a new space ranger adventure, or break the bonds of gravity on Jet Packs. A massive, color-shifting canopy will lure guests to TRON Lightcycle Power Run, a coaster-style attraction where guests board a train of two-wheeled Lightcycles for one of the most thrilling adventures at any Disney park.
