Shanghai Disney Resort on Track to Become China's No.1 Attraction

The Shanghai Disney Resort, which opened its doors to the public last Thursday, is expected to beat Beijing's Palace Museum to become the No. 1 spot for visitors in China.

According to data compiled by online travel agency Ctrip, the new Disney attraction is estimated to attract a minimum of 15 million visitors a year, which is more than 40,000 a day. Last year, a total of 15 million tourists visited the Palace Museum.

If each visitor's average spending during a trip to the Shanghai Disney Resort is 2,219 Yuan ($340), revenues would exceed 30 billion Yuan a year, according to the report, which added that 40 percent of the park's visitors are likely to be tourists from Shanghai.

Chi Huiguang, a Beijing-based visitor who took a high-speed train to the new Disney resort, drew parallels between Disneyland in Los Angeles and the one in Shanghai, saying that they're both just as good.

Huiguang pointed out in spite of long linges and expensive tickets and food, the one thing that she found really impressive at Shanghai's Disney Resort was the friendly staff.

Ctrip said that approximately four out of 10 visitors are couples while 30 percent are parents accompanying their children. However, with the summer vacation just around the corner, more parents are expected to visit the resort with their kids.

Ctrip said about four out of 10 current visitors are couples and 30 per cent are parents accompanying their

It is also estimated that the resort would seen a surge in visitors in the 10 days following the resort's official opening in early July and is expected to welcome no less than 7.3 million visitors this year alone.

Shanghai Disneyland nears a million visitors: CEO

July 12, 2016

DISNEY chief executive Robert Iger on Monday said that nearly a million people have visited the entertainment giant's theme park opened less than a month ago in China's mainland, AFP reported.

"It would be safe to assume almost a million people have experienced the park," Iger said during an on-stage chat at a Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen, Colorado.

Visitors to the park are staying longer than expected each day and showing fondness for Chinese barbecued pork with rice, cheeseburgers and turkey legs, according to Iger.

"We are introducing turkey legs to China," Iger quipped. "Which I thought was a mistake, but we are selling 3,000 a day."

Each turkey leg, sourced from Poland, costs more than $8 US.

Disney set the entrance fee at 499 yuan ($76) during peak periods and 370 yuan ($56) for other times, in a country where the average monthly disposable income is just $278.

The Shanghai resort is the US company's sixth in the world and the first in mainland.

Disney said its philosophy is to integrate local elements throughout, from the Chinse food on the menu to the attractions -- even the Disney castle is topped with a traditional peony flower.

The park is the most technologically advanced ever constructed by Disney, Iger said.

Turkey!

If US and China have war, this disney land can be quickly shut down by China authorities.

That goes both ways. Wanda right now owns the largest group of Cinema Chains in the US.

Also, don't forget that 51% of this park is owned by Shanghai Government. Disney owns the rest, and provides branding. So this park is co-owned with the Chinese Government.

You shall know that most of the movie fee goes to hollywood movie and hardly the cinema operator. If China shut out all Hollywood movie in wartime. It will be the US loses big and not China.

License fee are far most expensive and quick bucks for the American. American need to think twice before fanning more trouble in SCS.

When a new place open, it always attract first time visitors. The test will be 5 or 10 years down the road. People interest will go down depending if they find better thing to visit.

Its good to promote business between both side. US politician will think twice going war with China. I hope US powerful businessman will go down harsh on those US general.

Donald Trump a big time US businessman will bark first to gain more votes but after he becomes US president, he will change his tone and promote more business with China.

I do believe CCP won't let it happen until U.S attack China first, in war both will get hurt.

But we have delusional forumer who think only China will get hurt and US intact if war broke out between each other.

A big reminder for delusionalist that they can think not a single China nuclear kilo ton nuke warhead can penetrate US shield and reach US continental.

LOL ... Washington is not that fool, U.S.A only war with those cheap & poor small countries ... they won't fight with Russia which has the most number nukes, also won't fight with China which N.o1 trader & largest military force. Whatever U.S war with Russia or China, when two power get weak in war the third will replace them to be world N.o1 ... If U.S start war with Russia or China, U.S Global Power will surpassed by rest.

Hurt for both big nations, even U.S can't avoid it ... as same as "the empire on which the sun never sets" during WWII in Europe also falling down !

The U.S replace Great Britain as world global power after Britain war with Nazi Germany, when U.S to get weak someone will replace them too. American clearly understand the game principle ... so if when Russia and China as strong as to can hurt U.S power ... they won't start war with u to avoid weaken themselves.

Absolutely, think about it. What would happen if US wants to have a war with China regarding SCS? Both countries will be severely hurt, US will be in a crippled state that it no longer can protect South Korea. The perfect moment for DPRK to take down South Korea for unification. Russia can steamroll EU and defeat NATO without problem with its Blizkrieg.
US won't be the one who wants to start a war with either Russia,China or DPRK. China warned the US not to attack DPRK and Yankees simply OBEYED
