MICKEY CELEBRATES CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH WORKERS AT SHAGHAI DISNEYLAND

    With the Chinese Spring Festival drawing near, leadership and VoluntEARS from Shanghai Disney Resort visited the resort build site and brought the construction workers holiday greetings and new year gifts, as well as a little surprise Disney magic. As most of the workers are from other parts of the country and will go home to visit their families in their home towns during Chinese New Year holiday, Shanghai Disney Resort leadership presented each worker with a set of Disney gifts to thank them for their hard work over the past lunar year and allow them to share the joy of the new year and the pride of helping build Shanghai Disney Resort with their family members. 

      As a big surprise and for the first time since the April 2011 Announcement and Groundbreaking Ceremony, Mickey Mouse made a special visit to the Shanghai Disney Resort project site to meet the workers in person, and to ensure that each worker had a special photo opportunity with Disney's lovable mouse. 

     The Shanghai Disney Resort construction workers are important members of the Shanghai community, and play a key role in bringing the dream of the Shanghai Disney Resort to reality. As construction continues at the build site, resort leadership will continue to share special moments and milestones on a regular basis with the workers and their families, introducing them to Disney characters and stories through film nights, character visits, townhalls with Disney resort leadership and many other special activities, while ensuring they enjoy high quality living conditions and a safe working environment.
