Finishing the final touches to its new flagship resort for local tourism, Shanghai Disney recently exhibited new details of the highly anticipated resort during its debut at the 2014 China International Travel Mart (CITM), Asia's largest travel trade industry fair, from Nov 14-16.
Disney shared the official names and images of the resort's two richly themed hotels, and the exciting shopping, dining and entertainment district, as well as a new rendering showing the scope of the resort alongside Shanghai Disneyland, Disney's first theme park in the Chinese mainland.
Continuing its tradition, Shanghai Disney is set to wow guests with an immersive, magical multi-day experience at the resort's theme park, hotels, shopping, dining, and entertainment district and recreational areas. Designed with Chinese guests in mind, the resort brings the best of Disney to the Chinese mainland.
As Disney's sixth resort destination worldwide, the centerpiece of the resort, Shanghai Disneyland, will be a Magic Kingdom-style theme park featuring classic Disney characters and stories in six themed lands. Some of the new attractions and experiences specifically designed for the people of China will include the Enchanted Storybook Castle, Treasure Cove (the first ever Pirates-themed land in a Disney park), and Garden of the 12 Friends.
In addition to the theme park, the resort will offer two hotels that give guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in a magical world inspired by, and featuring, Disney characters and stories. The signature hotel of the resort will be the 420-room Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, an elegant Art Nouveau-inspired hotel with a touch of Disney magic and imagination. The 800-room Toy Story Hotel immerses guests in a world inspired by the toys from the Disney & Pixar series of Toy Story animated films. Both hotels will offer a range of entertainment and leisure options, highlighted by Disney’s signature high-quality service standards with great attention to detail.
Conveniently located near Shanghai Disneyland and the hotels is Disneytown – a shopping, dining and entertainment district with the lure of a timeless village and the excitement of an international crossroads. Here, guests may relax and reconnect with family in its charming pedestrian streets, leading to more than 46,000 square meters of distinctive dining, unique shops and a world-class theatre.
The natural beauty of Disneytown's Lakeshore provides beautiful views, spectacular sunsets, and the highest quality in waterfront dining.
Near Disneytown lies the resort's central lake area, which offers guests from Shanghai and around the world an opportunity to commune with nature surrounded by peaceful greenery and a glittering lake. With approximately 40 hectares, it includes the lake, a 2.5-kilometer walking path and various beautiful gardens. It presents guests with awe-inspiring natural views and beautiful sunsets.
