It's a learning experience: There have been some reports in Chinese media of bad behavior during the park's opening week. In other cases, visitors simply weren't aware of how to engage with the attractions. "When people first got into the canoes they didn't realize they had to paddle," Bob Iger said of the Explorer Canoes attraction in an interview with the New York Times.
'The Lion King'- In Mandarin: Disney has produced its first Mandarin-language version of The Lion King musical for Shanghai. The Lion King film was one of Disney's first commercial successes in the Chinese market.
Toy Story Hotel: One of two hotels on the compound, Shanghai's Toy Story Hotel is Disney's first hospitality facility dedicated exclusively to the Pixar franchise. The hotel has two sections, a Sheriff Woody wing and a Buzz Lightyear wing.
70 Percent Chinese Consessions: A big part of Disney's effort to localize the park revolved around concessions, which service 70 percent Chinese cuisine, with dishes representing six major Chinese cooking traditions. Offerings include pork-stuffed mooncakes, braised pork knuckle in soy sauce, dim sum, Peking Duck pizza and much else.
70 Percent Chinese Consessions: Despite Disney's huge effort to develop a mostly Chinese menu, American concessions — hot dogs, turkey legs and pop corn — have been the bestsellers in Shanghai. "I want some American food when I come to Disney, something different," said Cai Jing, a 30-year-old from Yunan Province, on the park's opening day.
High-Tech Rollout: The immersive "Soaring Over the Horizon" flight simulator carries riders high above the world's great landmarks, utilizing motion, wind and even scents to create an uncanny sense of realism. The attraction premiered at Shanghai Disney before rolling out at other Disney Parks around the world the next day.
Chinese Characteristics: To further appease its Chinese government partners, Disney built the Wandering Moon Teahouse. Modeled on a building in eastern China, it is the only Chinese-style structure in any Disney park.
Chinese Characteristics: The "Garden of the Twelve Friends" employs characters such as Remy from Ratatouille and Tigger from Winnie the Pooh to recreate the animals of the Chinese Zodiac in individual mosaics. Guests are invited to pose for selfies in front of their Zodiac sign.
