The approval brings Disney closer toward its longstanding goal of building a new resort on mainland China. The world’s most populous country is a huge potential growth market for Disney, both for its theme parks and its broader entertainment offerings.
“China is one of the most dynamic, exciting and important ...

Obviously you do not know me so I will let you know that I am an incredibly open minded person and would probably even sympathize with your story if you had shared it. Your comment came off, however, as a typical closed minded comment that many Americans sadly share: that the USA is the only place in the world worth visiting, which just is so far from the truth it is pathetic. Also, while I do not ... See all content

Cool! The usual anti-Disney crowd is now merging with the anti-American crowd. That’s a development I hadn’t expected, but on second thought, it does make sense to criticize the, ahem, “westernization of indigenous world cultures” in a general sense the same way people criticize Disney for its greed in a more local sense. (And thus people like Jane Doe think there’s some ... See all content

SORRY, LEFT OUT A FEW SALIENT WORDS: With a one-day one-park pass costing $80 here in the States and a Disneyland Paris one-day one-park past costing 40 British pounds = $66, HOW IN THE WORLD are they going to get Chinese people to come? The average Chinese person does not have anywhere near the “disposable income” that we do here.
I have visited China, Shanghai specifically and even the Pudong

China is not expensive to visit. a flight costs about $1000. good Hotels can be found for well under $100 a night and food is much cheaper than the Us. Plus the people are really nice. Visaa are not that hard to get and besides a passport no other travel docs are needed. I have been their 9 times for work and enjoy Shanghai a lot.

“L. Scott and Sam”–do you really think that I would pour the rest of my story into your narrow minds. Comment about yourselves and not others. Yes, it IS a very sad story which I would never consider sharing with either one of you. Have a nice day, and oh, enjoy your trip, Scott.

Oh, Bill D., bless you and your hysterical mid-90s Tripod website. You’re so funny. This is not about a China-based themepark at Disney in Orlando. It’s about a brand-new Disney themepark IN China.
And John Doe, what exactly does NOT make sense about Disney building in India or Africa? While I’m sure Disney would be thrilled for Americans to travel to China to go to their

It is so sad that there are so many people that think this way. There is more to the world than the USA. China is a beautiful country and the people I met there were very friendly. I hope the new Disney park is very succesful. I know I will be booking a return visit to China to see it. I find it hard to believe that your son and family live there and you refuse to visit. Very sad.
