What kind of resort is it?
Shanghai Disney Resort opened on 16 June 2016 in the Pudong district. It is the first Disney resort on mainland China and the sixth Disney resort in the world. In 2026 the resort celebrates its tenth anniversary.
According to Disney, the resort is "authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese". You'll recognise the classic stories and characters, but you'll see Chinese touches everywhere: from the golden peony on top of the castle to the Chinese musical instruments in the street music and the dishes in the restaurants.
How is the park laid out?
Shanghai Disneyland has eight themed lands:
- Mickey Avenue: the main street by the entrance.
- Gardens of Imagination: gardens around the castle, with Dumbo and Marvel Universe.
- Fantasyland: Enchanted Storybook Castle, Peter Pan and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
- Adventure Isle: Roaring Mountain, Roaring Rapids and Soaring Over the Horizon.
- Treasure Cove: the pirate harbour with Pirates of the Caribbean.
- Tomorrowland: TRON Lightcycle Power Run and Buzz Lightyear.
- Disney•Pixar Toy Story Land: Andy's backyard.
- Zootopia: the city of Judy and Nick, since December 2023.

Zootopia and TRON
The newest land is Zootopia, the city from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film. According to the resort, when it opened in December 2023 it was the first Zootopia land in a Disney park. In Zootopia: Hot Pursuit you join Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in chasing a gang of crooks through the city.
The fastest attraction is TRON Lightcycle Power Run: according to the resort, one of the fastest roller coasters in any Disney park in the world. Other favourites are Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for the Sunken Treasure, Soaring Over the Horizon and Roaring Rapids.
