[Shanghai Disney Resort] Le Resort en général - le coin des petites infos

Pourquoi est-ce que tout ce qui est adapté de toy story dans nos parcs (sauf toy story mania) est un peu... moche?

Pétard, ce que j'ai hâte de voir la cérémonie d'ouverture et les walkthrough...sur le net...mais quand même !

Est-ce qu'on a une date?

Après le Shanghai Expo Center le mois dernier, le resort a été présenté ce mois-ci à la D23 Expo 2015 à Anaheim sur le pavillon Walt Disney Parks & Resorts.

Shanghai Disney Resort Introduces New Float at 2015 Shanghai Tourism Festival

Inviting Guests to Ignite the Magical Dream Within Their Hearts

SHANGHAI, September 1, 2015 – Shanghai Disney Resort today revealed the design of its “Igniting the Dream” parade float and the live entertainment that will accompany the float for the upcoming 2015 Shanghai Tourism Festival, slated for the grand opening parade on September 12. It is the second consecutive year Shanghai Disney Resort will participate in China’s leading annual tourism festival. The parade float blends distinctly Chinese elements and authentic Disney storytelling to create magical experiences that guests will find in the future resort. For the first time, six carts will join the main float to showcase the six themed lands in Shanghai Disneyland, the theme park at Shanghai Disney Resort.

The parade float and live Disney entertainment will highlight Shanghai Disney Resort as a whole new world of imagination and thrills. A friendly welcome by a joyful troop of Disney cast members will lead the way, dancing to the melody of “Welcome Home”. The song is written specifically for Shanghai Disney Resort by Chinese artists. The dancers will weave around six themed carts with beloved Disney characters riding on top to greet the roadside spectators.

The main float will follow close behind. It will feature a giant Chinese lantern at the front and take the form of the resort’s iconic Enchanted Storybook Castle. Wrapping all the way around the base of the float, bright postcard renderings can be found celebrating some of the key attractions at the resort. Mickey Mouse and his pals will spread the joy as they ride the float, greeting all the guests along the parade route. The colourful Disney stars shining above will light up the promise of Shanghai Disney Resort – “Ignite the Magical Dream within Your Heart”.

“With less than one year before the grand opening of Shanghai Disney Resort, we are thrilled to participate in this tourism festival and to demonstrate our commitment to bring the best of Disney experiences to the people of China,” said Philippe Gas, general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort. “We are proud to represent Disney’s immersive world-class entertainment to local residents and millions of TV viewers across China, sharing with them the resort promise ignite the dreams within their hearts.”
The float will debut on Saturday, September 12 at the grand opening parade of the 26th Shanghai Tourism Festival. Afterward, it will set out for a road show through several districts from September 13 to October 6, allowing more residents and tourists to enjoy this Disney magical experience.

In 2014, Shanghai Disney Resort made its debut at the parade of this international tourism festival, adding a special Disney entertainment element to this popular event for the first time. Blending authentic Disney features with distinctly Chinese elements, the specially designed Shanghai Disney Resort “Happy Dream” float was awarded the “Most Popular Float of the Year” after receiving the highest number of votes from a public poll.

Cela fait suite à la fermeture de neuf fermes d'élevage de porcs et poulets déjà annoncée le 23 juillet dernier.

Ces sites industriels comme ces fermes d'élevage ont un impact négatif sur la qualité de l'eau et de l'air des environs immédiat du parc.

Mais ces fermetures étaient prévues de longue date car ces sites une fois fermés libéreront des terrains pour le développement des phases 2 et 3 du resort qui ont été planifiées par les autorités locales avec Disney.

Le char de Shanghai Disney Resort a participé samedi à la parade du 26ème Festival du Tourisme de Shanghai accompagné d'une troupe de cast members dansant au son de "Welcome Home", la chanson écrite pour l'événement.

Disney producers make every moment magic

AS part of our ongoing spotlight on the people working behind-the-scenes on the soon-to-open Shanghai Disney Resort, today Shanghai Daily talks with producer Blake Lennon and associate creative director Zhong Yanle.

Lennon, a native of the United Sates, comes from the Creative Entertainment team of Shanghai Disney Resort which works on the design and production of the shows in the resort. Lennon as a producer has been working on two of the resort’s signature shows: the “Mickey’s Storybook Express” daytime parade and the “Ignite the Dream: A Nighttime Spectacular of Magic and Light.”

He joined Disney 13 years ago as a college intern at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. After graduation, he joined Disney’s special events team and got the opportunity to work all over the US and Canada. He has also worked as a project manager on a number of shows in California.

When he heard about an opportunity to work on creative entertainments in Shanghai, he saw it as a chance to do something new. Having worked on the project for nearly three years back in the US, Lennon is now in Shanghai as part of a group of experts from all over the world to make sure everything goes smoothly once the park starts welcoming visitors.

“I offered myself up,” Lennon said. “I just moved to Shanghai a couple of months ago for the opening of the project, so I am presently under great pressure.

“I am so honored to be part of a team that is opening Shanghai Disney Resort,” Lennon added.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yanle is part of the team that is responsible for the creative content of the shows and entertainment at Shanghai Disneyland. A native of Shanghai, Zhong officially joined the Shanghai Disney Resort in April 2014. Prior to this, she worked on the Shanghai Disney Resort project for around two years as an external consultant. An experienced performer in her own right, Zhong has appeared on-stage on Broadway, as well as London’s West End and China.

“I think this time we are working on the most exciting project on the planet. I am honored that I can do something for my hometown,” Zhong said, who now works closely with Lennon.

To help the Shanghai Disney Resort stand out among its peers, the local cultural and tourism market was extensively researched, with special attention paid to preexisting performances and cultural shows, according to Lennon.

“We really challenged ourselves to come up with things that are new … We hope to bring in something that is really unique and will make people want to come and return to Shanghai Disney Resort,” he said. “The entertainment programs we’re bringing to Shanghai and the Chinese audience are brand new and tailor-made,” Zhong said. “We have the biggest castle in the world, which will be the backdrop of the daytime show and nighttime spectacular. Besides, there is a large variety of shows throughout the six themed lands of the park, such as the “Eye of the Storm: Captain Jack’s Stunt Spectacular,” which will make its global premiere at El Teatro Fandango in Treasure Cove, made just for Shanghai Disneyland.”

“In Tomorrowland, we have the Star Wars Launch Bay and the Marvel Universe, where visitors can meet characters from the stories,” she added.

But the Shanghai Disneyland experience will be about more than just huge spectacles. Numerous small-scale performances aimed at individual visitors will help create an immersive atmosphere within the park, according to Zhong.

“We also create small intimate moments for people to interact with the characters. Those special moments are important to form memories and to have relatable connections with our guests,” said Lennon.

Below, both Lennon and Zhong go into further detail about their work at Shanghai Disney Resort.

What do you think makes Disney so successful?

Lennon : The universal appeal of our characters and our stories is what make Disney so successful. Sometimes what we have is really a treasure. Everyone in the team knows and loves Disney’s long-cherished, classic as well as brand new stories, and would love to provide the life and personalities to bring them alive in the show.

Zhong : I would say it’s the accuracy, and the magic experience we provide in our resort. We work so hard on the details to give the best to our guests. Our vision is to be the most loved and trusted leisure experience provider in the world.

What’s the biggest challenge you’ve worked on?

Lennon : We really pushed ourselves to be always at the cutting-edge, to make everything the newest, the greatest and the best. It is a great challenge to be able to teach and to learn from all of the designers, artisans and performers, due to the fact that this is my first time working on such a big project.

Zhong : There’s a total collaboration between Disney and the Chinese culture. We have a lot of projects, which we work on with the local artists. There are a lot of challenges during the whole process. But I think the result is rewarding, because this whole program is made especially for the local audience. We didn’t just copy the original stage shows in other Disney parks and resorts. They are tailor-made for Shanghai, for the Chinese market.

Are there any highlighted shows in Shanghai Disney Resort?

Lennon : Both the parade and the nighttime show are brand new and custom-made for Shanghai. The parade, called “Mickey’s Storybook Express,” will transport fantasy, romance, music and merriment throughout Shanghai Disneyland each day. Led by a whimsical locomotive, it is the longest parade route ever traveled in a Disney park.

The nighttime show is a signature event, a hallmark element of our Disneyland. The Enchanted Storybook Castle will become the star of the nighttime spectacular as it inspires everyone to unlock and ignite their dreams.

Zhong : I personally like the show “Tarzan: Call of the Jungle,” which will be available at the Storyhouse Stage in Adventure Isle. We have a Chinese director and use Chinese elements and acrobatics to retell the Disney story. This is the only one like it in the world. You cannot see a version like this at any other Disney park in the world.

What does Disney mean for your career and personal development?

Lennon : It was a lot of fun getting to Shanghai to work with the local artisans, especially having worked with Disney for 13 years. To work with people who are excited and enthusiastic about working on their very first Disney project, it makes for a lot of smiles and a lot of friendships.

Zhong : It’s a great environment to support each other. It is success for the whole team, the whole group and the company. We are committed to collaborative teamwork. And as a team, we all want to do our best. The company has a great culture and I would say this is the best job in the world because I help create happiness.

Shanghai Daily - 25 septembre 2015.

Je reste tout de même très étonné qu'il n'y ait pas plus de photos de la construction qui filtrent!!!

Avec tous les moyens de nos jours (smartphone, Internet...), je m'attendais, avec la construction de ce resort, à être inondé de pics "du terrain".

Mais non!

On a presque autant de photos qu'à la construction d'Euro Disney...

A ce jour, plus de 1500 cast members ont déjà été engagés, le resort continuera son recrutement dans les prochains mois en participant à plusieurs salons et bourses à l'emploi. Voici le communiqué de presse qui sera diffusé demain :

Shanghai Disney Resort - 14 octobre 2015.

Les ouvriers agricoles de la ferme Diyand Happy Farm de Chuansha New Town, située à seulement trois kilomètres de Shanghai Disney Resort, ont utilisé cinq variétés de riz de couleurs différentes pour composer ce portrait géant de Mickey Mouse dans ce champ de riz de près d'un hectare !

Quelle est la date d'ouverture désormais communiquée ?
Merci à vous

Il n'y a pas encore de date d'ouverture de communiquée, et si ce n'est pas le cas c'est qu'ils ne le savent pas eux-mêmes.

Tu m'etonnes ,j'imagine meme pas que ça ouvre dans 6 mois,il y a aucne attraction de terminer completement pour le moment .Avec toute les procedures a faire ,le test and ajust des attractions,les cyclings ,les essaies d'évacuations ,les mises en situations d'evacuations,les formations des Cms etc ,ect . Pffffffffffffff

C'est quand même un truc de barge l'immensité des travaux !

Bah, c'était comme ça à DLP il y a 25 ans aussi (et encore en plus grand, avec un complexe hôtelier plus développé).
Mais c'est vrai que ça tranche avec le côté riquiqui de HKDL

La superficie à Paris était aussi grande qu'à Shanghaï ? Je pensais que ça allait être le plus grand MK du monde

en superficie, je sais pas. Mais notre parc était plus dense et plus riche en nombre d'attractions. Ici; il y a plus d'espace "vides".
Mais en terme de resort (avec hôtel), le plus grand est clairement DLP

j'avais grossièrement mesuré notre disneyland park et le MK par google earth et j'avais vu que ça se jouait a quelques metres si on tient compte de la place dévolue au public a pied (le railroad du MK passant largement derriere les installation du new fantasyland ça fausse le chiffre)

je viens de re-mesurer selon la même méthode et on est, en mètres, a 750X589 pour DLP contre 711X 580 pour le MK et 650X545 (630 si on inclus toontown) pour DLR. SDR fait plutôt 940X818 (sachant que les limites sont beaucoup moins nettes pour le moment

Compilation de nouvelles recueillies ces derniers jours en provenance de Shanghai :

La ligne de métro 11 sera prochainement mise en service et une nouvelle ligne de bus reliera l'aéroport International de Shanghai Pudong à Pudong New Area et Shanghai Disney Resort.


 
Le recrutement des cast members se poursuit (ici à Chuansha New Town, quartier Est de Shanghai).



Philippe Gas reçoit, au nom de Shanghai Disney Resort, une décoration des mains de la camarade Liu Zhengyi (Deputy Governor of the Pudong New Area Government). La Walt Disney Company, le gouvernement municipal de la ville de Shanghai et le Comité Administratif de Pudong se félicite de la coopération dans ce projet à l'impact local tant économique que social.



A l'occasion de l'édition 2015 du salon de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme de Shanghai, le Shanghai Disney Resort Exhibition Center a organisé trois journées portes ouvertes. C'était la première fois que le centre d'exposition de Shanghai Disney Resort était ouvert au grand public depuis son ouverture il y a trois ou quatre ans. Les Disney Imagineers étaient présents et ont renseigné les visiteurs sur les différents aspects du projet (architecture, construction, écologie etc...).

(photos d'illustration prises à une autre occasion).

Il y a trois semaines, la Chine annonçait le recrutement de 150 agents et le lancement d'une campagne de répression spéciale sur la contrefaçon Disney et les premiers résultats sont visibles.

Shenzhen Vienna Hôtels Group, une chaîne d'hôtels gérant cinq hôtels usurpant le nom Disney à Shanghai Pudong, a été sanctionné hier par les autorités chinoises.

L'administration municipale de Shanghai pour l'industrie et le commerce a mis le groupe hôtelier à l'amende (100.000 yuan soit 15.600 dollars).

D'autres cas de violations de la marque et des droits de la Walt Disney Company sont actuellement examinés.

Okay, je savais pas, c'est intéressant !
