SHANGHAI DISNEYLAND THEME PARK OVERVIEW:

History of Disney Parks:
As the father of two small girls, Walt Disney dreamed of a place where parents and children could spend time together in a safe, clean environment where their imaginations could run free. In 1955, in Anaheim, California, his dream became the first Disney theme park, aptly named Disneyland and with it, a new era in family entertainment began. Since then, The Walt Disney Company has opened resorts in Orlando, Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong. Every new location started with a Magic Kingdom-style park and while they all have their own identity, each one shares essential elements from the original Disneyland, including a central castle surrounded by several highly themed "lands" that each offer a unique Disney experience. When guests enter the gates of a Magic Kingdom anywhere in the world, they are transported into a world of imagination, fantasy and adventure, where favorite Disney characters come to life and guests of all ages become part of the magic.

Design Philosophy:
Shanghai Disney Resort will be home to Shanghai Disneyland, a Magic Kingdom-style theme park that will welcome friends and families into a world of fantasy, adventure, magic and thrills. Currently still in the design phase, Shanghai Disneyland will include signature Disney experiences that guests around the world know and love as well as many exciting new elements tailored specifically for the people of China and unique to the Shanghai Disney Resort. Shanghai Disneyland will be authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.

Creative Overview:
Throughout Shanghai Disneyland, classic Disney characters and storytelling will blend with Chinese customs and celebrations to create a unique experience for guests in Shanghai. The park will consist of several themed lands, each with their own distinct attractions, entertainment and immersive experiences. At the heart of the park will be Storybook Castle, our most interactive Disney castle yet complete with entertainment, dining and performance spaces. It will truly be an attraction unto itself.

An 11 acre (46,130 square meters), one-of-a-kind, dynamic green space will welcome guests to Shanghai Disneyland and provide the perfect spot to view the parade or nightly fireworks. It will also feature Chinese seasonal plants and flowers, dramatic lighting and traditional music to serve as a backdrop for vibrant Chinese cultural celebrations and festivals, as well as opportunities for art, creativity, exploration and discovery. The park will consist of other large-scale entertainment spaces, indoor and out, that will be used for various purposes throughout the year.

Innovation and Technology
Innovative new technology has always been a hallmark of the Disney vacation experience and Shanghai Disney Resort will continue that tradition. The park will take full advantage of advances in virtual technology as well as new gaming and ride systems that will fully immerse our guests in our attractions.
