Shanghai Disney

[Sue]

There is a lot of differing opinions regarding the possibility of Disney opening a new park in Shanghai. According to what I have read today, local government officials are still planning for a park that would start construction in 2008 and open in 2012, but China has not given the official go-ahead at this point. Tourism officials are concerned about the competition with HK-DL and this could lead to the goverment deciding not to proceed with approval.
So at this point, there is no official word on whether or not this park will become a reality..
Please share if you hear anything else on this potential new park!!

I have heard the same thing Sue - and think I had a topic about this a year ago (that's how long this has been going on. lol).
Kevin can give more information, but from what I know, it is going to happen.

That is what I am gathering as well Leanne....but again, there has been no official approval as of yet. From what I can tell, they are waiting to see how HKDL does for as long as possible.
Should be interesting to watch this develop!

Yep, I agree. I sure hope it goes through!
