Shanghai Disney Resort Discussion Thread

[NrthwndBAYSIDE STATION!!!]

This is from Disney & More...

Today, we’re excited to bring you some news from China. On Saturday, Shanghai Disney Resort made its first appearance in the Annual Shanghai Tourism Festival parade.

Cool float! I wonder if they will save and re-use it in the park somehow. Or any park for that matter.

[gerstlaueringvarMUST BUY RMC MERCHANDISE!!!!]

The float looks amazing! Can't wait to see how SHDL will turn out, it would certainly be one of the most crowded parks in the world.

That is a nice looking float and it's pretty massive!

[StuckInSDWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

That is a nice looking float and it's pretty massive!

If you think that's big, just wait until the castle is completed.

[KBrylczykI'd like to buy a vowel!]

Isn't the park still like 18 months away from opening? I mean, I'm all for public awareness, but c'mon.

Why pass up the opportunity to advertise and build up good will for the park?

[Hilltopper39Why do I still have a donkey title???]

Does anyone know if they plan to use Magic Bands and the My Disney Experience at Shanghai Disneyland when it opens? If they do plan to expand that service to other parks eventually (which I'm sure they do) it seems like it would be a lot easier to open Shanghai with the system from day one instead of trying to introduce it at some time in the future.

[COASTER FREAK 11"CACTUS SHARP!!"]

Nothing has been announced about the use of any MDX or Magic Bands in the new park. I would guess though, the infrastructure is being installed for it. So at a later time, when the whole park is online and operating smoothly, they have the option to use the system.

^ DO you have any insight into the timeline of expanding MDX and Magic Bands to other resorts world wide? Seems like they could potentially sell enough accessories in Tokyo alone to finance the worldwide expansion of the system haha.
