While Shanghai Disneyland Park has been temporarily shut down since late January, we’re starting to see some sparks of life returning to the far-away park across the sea! On March 9th, Shanghai Disneyland partially reopened to guests and began offering limited shopping, dining, and recreational experiences at Disneytown, Wishing Star Park, and Shanghai Disneyland Hotel.

While the park itself remains closed for the time being, last week Shanghai Disneyland began conducting simulations to try out their new health and safety measures(you can read more about some of the safety measures here). Now it looks like the park is testing out its nighttime fireworks spectacular, Ignite the Dream!
Fireworks lit up the night sky over Shanghai Disneyland Tuesday night. Shanghai is several hours ahead of us (and further along in the lengthy, gradual process of reopening businesses) but what a promising sight for the world to see!

Fireworks filled the sky above Enchanted Storybook Castle and a few lucky spectators nearby were able to catch a glimpse of the show! We’re hoping this means fireworks shows will start again once Shanghai Disneyland reopens, but Disney hasn’t made an official statement yet!

@mollay on Instagram was lucky enough to be standing right outside of Shanghai Disneyland and took a video of the Ignite the Dream trial run! You can view it in her live Instagram stories here!
We’ll continue to watch and listen for any news regarding Shanghai Disneyland’s new reopening guidelines and regulations, but so far, it looks like substantial progress is being made!
