CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON SHANGHAI DISNEYLAND CASTLE

Construction began March 24th on Shanghai Disneyland's Enchanted Storybook Castle, marking another key milestone in the development of Shanghai Disney Resort. The Enchanted Storybook Castle, designed to be the world's tallest and largest Disney castle, will be an iconic central attraction of the resort's theme park, Shanghai Disneyland. The milestone was commemorated today when workers installed the first permanent concrete piles to support the full build-out of the castle.

The Enchanted Storybook Castle will be stationed at the heart of the theme park and will be the most interactive Disney castle yet, complete with entertainment, dining and performance spaces. A magnificent winding staircase in the heart of the castle will lead Guests on a "Once Upon a Time Adventure," featuring all Disney Princesses, and will provide unparalleled and memorable experiences which only Disney can offer. The castle will also feature a boat ride attraction complete with a secret underground chamber, in which fountains of light will leap and dance in shimmering pools, surrounding Guests with magic, music and color.
