After nearly two decades, the Magic
Kingdom has come to the heart of the
Middle Kingdom, as Disney Resort Shanghai
opens.
Disney's Chief
Executive, Bob Iger, has described the project as the "biggest step"
the company has ever taken. But there has been criticism
in the Chinese media about the price visitors will have to pay.
It looks like a
Disney park, with a huge "enchanted castle"
anchored at the centre.
It sounds like Disney, with a wave and a smiling hello from every staff member.
And it feels like Disney - an escape from the real world. But park number six
is different. This time Mickey Mouse - Me Low Shoe as he's known here - is Communist Party approved.
"From the
moment they enter, everything they see and experience, the attractions, the
food, the entertainment, down to the smallest level of detail, is instantly recognisable not only as authentically
Disney but as distinctly Chinese," Mr Iger
told journalists at an opening day event.
On the surface,
much is the same. There are rides that are common to Shanghai
and other parks, and some that are unique to China . The food and the language
are heavily influenced by Chinese tradition. But the
overall feel is of the American offering. The big change is behind the
scenes.

Disneyland in Shanghai is different form it in the U.S, some rides are unique. But some people think that tickets are expensive and roads are too complicated and long so they will get lost. Some websites still have negative comments, that are why people do not want to go there.
