Can you believe Shanghai Disney Resort is officially 10 years old? It’s wild to think that a brand-new Disney theme park was made so recently, but sure enough, the resort has hit this major milestone and is celebrating in style.

The park has since welcomed over 100 million guests from around the world, and something that makes it so special is being “authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.” Are you ready to celebrate?
Shanghai Disney is the newest Disney theme park in the world and officially opened on June 16th, 2016. To celebrate, everyone went all out! They hosted an anniversary gala at the Enchanted Storybook Castle to celebrate all the Cast Members and anyone who helped make this park special.

CEO of the Walt Disney Company, Josh D’Amaro, spoke at the event and said, “When we opened these gates, we believed we could create something the world had never seen — a place where Disney storytelling met Chinese culture in a way that was genuinely new. More than one hundred million guest visits later, Shanghai Disney Resort stands as one of the company’s proudest achievements. As we celebrate the park’s first decade and look to its next, what excited me most was that we’re just getting started.”

Just getting started is right. There are two new hotels coming to the resort, including one called the Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel, and they will be adjacent to the existing Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. The other one will be steps away from the main entrance of the park.

There’s also a whole Spider-Man land coming with a super cool roller coaster that we’re pretty thrilled about.
