How Disney made sure Shanghai Disneyland doesn’t put off Chinese visitors

Drawing on the lessons of launching Disneylands in Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo, Walt Disney Co. has gone to great lengths to avoid cultural faux pas at its recently opened theme park in China

Even before the Walt Disney Company opened Euro Disneyland outside Paris in 1992, French intellectuals called the park a “cultural Chernobyl”, workers protested against the Disney dress code and neighbours complained that the park’s train whistles provoked their dogs to bark and geese to honk.

But Paris came to embrace its new neighbour and now the park attracts 10.4 million people a year, more than the number of visitors to the Louvre museum or the Eiffel Tower.

On June 16, Disney opened its biggest and most expensive international resort – a more than 400 hectare, US$5.5 billion development in Shanghai – and company executives know the challenges of trying to take the Disney magic abroad. An opening-day misstep or cultural faux pas at the Shanghai Disney resort could dent Disney’s hugely popular brand.

But if the risks are high, so are the rewards.

If it proves a hit, Shanghai Disney will add momentum to the USentertainment giant’s efforts to turn China’s 1.4 billion citizens into more voracious consumers of its merchandise and films.

Disney’s target is the country’s upper middle class, which is forecast to double to 100 million by 2020, according to the Boston Consulting Group. The Chinese tourism industry represents US$610 billion in spending in China and abroad, and the Chinese government predicts that it also will double by 2020.

“The sheer numbers in the Chinese economy are staggering,” says theme park expert Martin Lewison, a business management professor at Farmingdale State College in New York. “It’s a massive country with hundreds of millions of new customers.”

Customers such as Han Li, a data analyst, and her husband, Yu Lei, a bank worker, both 32. The couple, who have been to all five of Disney’s resorts, had planned to attend the grand opening in Shanghai and stay five days.

“It’s not that we don’t have other travel plans,” Han says, “but other plans need to give way to Disney plans.”

The joint venture behind Shanghai Disney – Disney holds a 43 per cent stake and state-owned Shanghai Shendi Group owns the rest – insists it was well prepared for the grand opening of the Shanghai resort, which is nearly twice the size of the Southern California Resort (which includes Disneyland and California Adventure, three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping, dining and entertainment complex).

For a month before the opening, Shanghai Disney held previews to work out the kinks, with some one million people visiting the park’s six themed lands encircling the Enchanted Storybook Castle, a shopping district and 40 hectares of gardens, lakes and parkland.

Disney chief executive Bob Iger promised last year during a promotional campaign that the resort would be “authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese”. The company hired Chinese architects and designers and sent teams around China researching ways to incorporate Chinese cultural elements.

“I think that will make a big difference,” says Marty Sklar, former vice-chairman and principal creative executive for Disney’s Imagineering team during Euro Disneyland construction. “They are trying to become part of the culture instead of trying to interpret the culture,” says Sklar, who retired from Disney in 2009.

For example, Main Street USA has been ditched in favour of a large garden featuring Disney versions of the Chinese zodiac animals and a Mickey Avenue that will help familiarise visitors new to Disney the company’s classic characters.

Designers added more seating at restaurants after finding that Chinese guests linger longer over meals, and incorporated more live entertainment after realising that many Chinese patrons like those shows as well as – or better than – adrenaline-inducing rides.

Among the other innovations and adaptations slated for the Shanghai park are rigid barriers to encourage more orderly queuing, wider thoroughfares than in other Disney parks and extensive picnic areas to appeal to extended families with grandparents in tow. There’s also a mobile phone app that delivers updates on wait times and can warn prospective guests to stay away if the park is at capacity.

Disney faces steep competition in China, where as many as 60 theme parks are under construction or being planned, including projects by Universal Parks & Resorts, Six Flags Entertainment and Dalian Wanda Group, one of China’s biggest conglomerates.

Disney doesn’t disclose capacity or attendance figures for its parks, but Shanghai Shendi has projected that 10 million to 12 million people will visit the park in the first year.

There is room for as many as three Disney parks at the Shanghai site, and the complex could eventually attract up to 30 million attendees annually, according to Entertainment Culture Advisors, a consulting group.

By comparison, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea attracted a combined 30.2 million people in 2015, according to an annual report by the Aecom consulting firm and Themed Entertainment Association, an industry group. Last year, Disney’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, brought in 20.5 million people, Disneyland drew 18.3 million people and California Adventure had 9.4 million visitors, the report says.

Hong Kong Disneyland, the smallest Disney theme park, attracted 6.8 million visitors last year.

Liu Zhaohui, co-founder of the Beijing-based travel company TripVivid, estimates that annual revenue from the Shanghai resort could reach US$3.7 billion.

Disney has spared no expense to make sure Shanghai Disney doesn’t suffer the same setbacks as previous projects, says Edward Marks, co-chief executive of the Producers Group, a theme park consultant that has worked on Shanghai Disney.

In 2014, Disney and Shanghai Shendi announced that they were increasing their investment in the park by US$800 million to US$5.5 billion. Last year, the companies pushed the opening date back a year to 2016.

Some observers speculated that the extra investment and revised timeline were the result of cost overruns and other problems, but the companies say they simply wanted to expand the number of attractions that would be ready on opening day.

“The phase one opening of this park will be the best of the industry,” Marks says.

Transplanting Disney’s popular US entertainment abroad hasn’t always been easy. With the opening of Euro Disneyland – later renamed Disneyland Paris – Disney faced strong resistance from French activists who were leery of an invasion of American culture served up by Mickey Mouse and Dumbo the flying elephant.

The park, owned by Euro Disney SCA, a public company in which Disney holds an 82 per cent stake, anticipated 11 million visitors a year but attracted only about 9.8 million in the first full year. It didn’t help that a recession hit Europe at about the same time the park opened.

Disney made adjustments to appeal to the French, such as lifting an alcohol ban and reverting Disney characters with French origins to their original names. The castle of Sleeping Beauty is known as Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant.

“We did bend to some of it,” says Mickey Steinberg, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of Disney Imagineering, who retired in 1994. “We did serve wine.”

But Steinberg says his biggest problems had more to do with meeting construction deadlines and working with foreign crews under restrictive French guidelines. “Disney didn’t have the experience their people have today,” he says.

When plans were launched about a decade later to build the Hong Kong park, Disney executives took steps to avoid cultural blunders. The company, which, a 47 per cent stake in the joint venture with the Hong Kong government,employed feng shui experts to pick the opening date – September 12, 2005 – and to improve the theme park’s chi, or positive energy. There are no fourth-floor buttons in the lifts at hotels in the Hong Kong park, because four is an unlucky number.

Still, the park suffered a bumpy first year, drawing 5.2 million visitors, 400,000 short of its target of 5.6 million.

Marks says the park is much too small – only 27.5 hectares – and the attractions are not the high quality of those in the Anaheim or Florida parks.

Perhaps Disney’s smoothest theme park opening outside of the US was its very first in Tokyo in 1983. That project was built by Disney but operated by a Japan-based leisure and hospitality company, Oriental Land Co, with a licensing agreement with Disney.

The 46.5-hectare park was built with near-identical attractions to those in Disneyland, and last year hosted 16.6 million visitors, according to Aecom and the Themed Entertainment Association.

“The community wanted Disney there,” says David Koenig, the author of several books about Disney.

Steinberg predicts Disney’s biggest problem at the Shanghai park will be managing crowds. About 330 million people are estimated to live within a three-hour drive or train ride from Shanghai Disney.

“They are going to have larger rushes of crowds than they have ever witnessed,” Steinberg says.

Robert Iger, qui participe en ce moment à Aspen à la Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference, a indiqué que le nouveau parc à thème a déjà accueilli près d'un million de visiteurs (ce chiffre inclus les visiteurs ayant visité le parc durant les trois semaines d'essais qui ont précédé l'ouverture officielle).

Shanghai Disneyland nears a million visitors

Disney chief executive Robert Iger said nearly a million people have visited the entertainment giant's theme park opened less than a month ago in mainland China.

"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.

Disney opened the massive Shanghai theme park to the public in mid-June, hoping to win over communist-ruled China's growing middle class with the ultimate American cultural export.

The Shanghai resort is the US company's sixth in the world and the first in mainland China -- there is already one in Hong Kong.

Disney tailored park attractions for China and left out some American trademark features, such as Main Street USA.

"I very much wanted to avoid being called a cultural imperialist," Iger said of work that went into tuning the Disney park for Shanghai.

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.

Iger referred to the Shanghai project as a lesson in patience and perseverance, saying nearly 18 years elapsed from when he first stepped on the site for a survey to the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

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

Workers broke ground on the project in 2011 and the Shanghai Disney Resort now sprawls over 3.9 square kilometres on the city's outskirts, with a fairy-tale castle soaring over the horizon.

But the launch of the $5.5 billion resort, representing one of the biggest foreign investments ever in China, comes as growth in the world's second largest economy slumps to its lowest level in a quarter century.

Still, Disney deemed the world's most populous country too big to ignore.

There is competition for tourist cash as China builds more theme parks than any other country in the world.

Bob Iger on China’s Disneyland and How He Avoided Being a ‘Cultural Imperialist’

“We decided to introduce turkey legs to China,” Iger says, “Which I thought was a mistake”

Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger said on Monday that the ambitious new Disneyland park in Shanghai, China, was not only the company’s biggest investment in a theme park, but also sparked concern in him that he might be branded a “cultural imperialist” in building it.

The Shanghai park, which opened in the middle of June, has already welcomed 1 million attendees, Iger said, with people staying two hours longer per day than anticipated.

“It’s our largest-ever foreign investment,” he explained, while speaking at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen, Colorado. “It’s one of the biggest investments we’ve ever made.”

Iger said he spent 18 years trying to bring this idea to life. “It was a 10 year negotiation,” he recalled, and a personal exercise in patience.

Foremost in Iger’s mind was tailoring the American theme park to China’s culture. “I coined the phrase, ‘Authentically Disney, Culturally Chinese,'” he recalled. “I wanted very much to avoid being called a cultural imperialist. I wanted to bring to China something that they thought was theirs.”

In that spirit, Disneyland in Shanghai has no Main Street, one of the American and even European theme park’s signature sets. “I didn’t think that would resonate at all in 2016,” he said.

The park also serves mainly Chinese food — with a couple of exceptions. He explained: “We agreed that 70 percent of the food was Chinese, 20 percent other Asian and 10 percent American — pizza, hamburgers. Then they snuck in churros and turkey legs.”

“We decided to introduce turkey legs to China,” Iger revealed. “Which I thought was a mistake. But we’re selling 3,000 a day.”

ça marche bien alors ??

ont disait qu'il y avait pas foule..

Il faut souhaiter que ça marche ne serait ce que pour l'avenir de Dlp qui sera lui aussi impacté si la cata s'annonce à Shangaï .

Le site chinois Q Daily annonce l'introduction pour la période du 11 au 31 août d'un billet d'entrée à tarif réduit pour les visiteurs souhaitant passer la fin de journée dans le parc Shanghai Disneyland.

Ces billets, désignés comme Sunset Ticket, permettraient une entrée dans le parc à thème après 16h00.

A l'heure actuelle, on ne relève encore aucune communication officielle de la part du resort à ce sujet.

Un équivalent existe déjà à Tokyo Disney Resort qui propose ses billets "After 6" pour une entrée au parc après 18h00.

Rides to nowhere: Shanghai Disney visitors ‘spend hours lined up for closed rides’

Visitors to Shanghai Disneyland have complained about waiting for up to four hours to get on popular rides, only to be told that the machines were out of order, local media reported.

The disgruntled customers did not get a refund, according to Thepaper.cn. Instead, the amusement park offered passes valid for the next 12 months.

A woman surnamed Liu, who visited the park on Sunday, said she arrived in the morning and managed to go on just one ride for the whole day.

She spent most of her time queuing up for two popular attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure and Roaring Rapids.

But in both cases, she ended up being told that the ride needed to be shut down for maintenance, the report said.

“If you have a plan to repair the machines, why not inform us in advance, so that we don’t wait for many hours?”

A man surnamed He said the response he got from Disneyland’s guest service department was “unreasonable” and left him “outraged”.

“We had no chance to talk with any senior managers,” he said. “Most of the staff dealing with our complaints were just security guards.”

Liu said she and her child had come all the way from Gansu province and could not use the passes offered by Disneyland in compensation. “It’s not possible for us to come again,” she said.

However, she said she finally accepted the passes after arguing for an hour, since she and her child were exhausted.

Shanghai Disney Resort said it is was occasionally necessary to temporarily close some of the attractions for a number of reasons, including maintenance, operational requirements and unforeseen circumstances.

The company did not provide attendance figures, but said it was pleased with the “robust demand and strong consumer interest” at the resort since its official opening about two months ago.

Olympians Celebrate at Shanghai Disneyland

Several of the world’s best athletes recently surprised guests at our new Shanghai Disney Resort when they dropped by to celebrate a gold-medal summer at Shanghai Disneyland, the resort’s magnificent theme park.

Shanghai Olympians from the China National Olympic Team, including 3 gold medalists, led Shanghai Disneyland’s Mickey’s Storybook Express parade as grand marshals. The athletes waved to cheering crowds as they made their way down Mickey Avenue and around the park’s world-class attractions and live entertainment spectaculars.

During the visit, the Olympians received a souvenir award from Philippe Gas, general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, and then explored Shanghai Disneyland, including stops at TRON Lightcycle Power Run, Treasure Cove, and of course, the largest Disney castle ever.

Many members of the Olympic team also had a chance to interact with different Disney characters and shared images on their own social media channels before wrapping up a special day at the park.

Shanghai Disneyland Wins Top Global Industry Award for Outstanding Theme Park Achievement

Less than six months since opening, Shanghai Disneyland and its world-class attractions and live entertainment have been recognized with multiple international awards during the IAAPA Attractions Expo 2016 hosted in Orlando, where more than 30,000 attractions industry professionals from across the globe gathered together this week. The newest Disney destination was honored with four awards from the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) and International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) this year.

About the four awards winners :

Shanghai Disneyland

Shanghai Disneyland, the first theme park of its kind in Mainland China, is a world of boundless possibilities and a place to create cherished memories that last a lifetime. This Magic Kingdom-style theme park features classic Disney storytelling and characters but with authentic cultural touches and themes tailored specifically for the people of China. It includes six themed lands: Adventure Isle, Gardens of Imagination, Mickey Avenue, Tomorrowland, Treasure Cove and Fantasyland, with the Enchanted Storybook Castle, immersing guests in popular Disney stories that come to life throughout the park.



Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure

Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure is a spectacular indoor boat ride that takes guests on a new rollicking adventure with Captain Jack Sparrow to steal the priceless treasure of Davy Jones, located in Treasure Cove, the first Pirates themed land in a Disney park. Seamlessly blending Disney storytelling and state-of-the art technologies, the attraction features three large media domes, projection effects, lifelike animatronic figures, theatrical sets and sophisticated lighting to dramatically take guests on, over and even under the sea on a nautical adventure. With a new, highly controlled ride system used for the first time in Shanghai, the boats spin, travel sideways, and even move backwards to create a highly dynamic experience. Guests will encounter fearless pirates, mermaids and even a kraken. Disney's patented Audio-Animatronics technology and recent advancements in robotics bring these pirates to a new level of realistic performance.



Camp Discovery

Camp Discovery, available for the first time in a Disney park, is a place where adventurers of all ages and abilities gather to explore ruins and dig sites in search of ancient tribal relics. They may explore natural wonders and ancient legends, trek past waterfalls and discover tribal ruins in an elevated ropes course created specifically for this land. Guests will choose their own expeditions and levels at Camp Discovery, with some opting for the thrilling natural wonders of Roaring Mountain and others choosing to enjoy the views and become immersed in science, nature, and history. Camp Discovery is located in Adventure Isle, a unique themed land in Shanghai Disneyland with an original story.



Ignite the Dream – A Nighttime Spectacular of Magic and Light

After sunset, it’s time for “Ignite the Dream, A Nighttime Spectacular of Magic and Light,” with amazing projections, lasers and enchanting fireworks. When “painted” together on Disney’s largest castle in the world, the effects are mesmerizing. The walls of the castle transform into stunning new worlds, full of color and motion. During the show, Mickey finds that magical spark that ignites his imagination and sets him free to fly and soar. It’s a journey that ignites the dreams and imagination inside of everyone.

Après les annonces pour Hongkong ,il est certains qu'une annonce pour Shangai va tomber,il n'y aura pas que leur Tsp ,après 2018 ,il y aura de l'investissement .

ça manque d'Amérique dans ce parc voilà ce qu'ils devraient développer selon moi, surtout que ça sera plus exotique pour eux que pour nous occidentaux qui en avons pourtant dans nos parcs. Un Disneyland sans le reve américains c'est deja une dose de magie en moins.

Ils ont fait exactement la meme erreur qu'a HKDL qui est entrain de se rattraper avec Marvel et qui a compris qu'ils leur manquait un train de la mine et ont donc réagi avec Grizzly Gulch. Parallèllement ils ont réinventé une HM et meme ça SDL n'a pas été fichu de penser à un projet de cette trempe.
Certains disaient que ça faisait très Port Aventura et à en juger comme ça c'est plutot vrai, on a toute une moitié du parc consacré à ce genre de thème "aventure tropicale". Il faudrait varier.

Que TSP n'ai pas fait parti du parc à son inauguration est un retard plutot remarqué, mais le fait qu'ils n'ai pas pensé à placer une zone Marvel ou Far West ou autres meme Amérique du Sud ou que je sais je ... Deja que sans le Main street de base, Leur Mickey avenue n'est semble t-il pas si enviable.

L'équilibre du parc est encore loin d'etre trouvé à l'instar de Hong Kong dans ses premières années. Ils sont capables de mieux.

Ils ont fait en fonction des gouts des chinois, et heureusement que tous les parcs ne se ressemblent pas.

Après dans les expansions futures, d'autres thèmes seront développés.

Mais je ne vois pas pourquoi il faudrait américaniser tout ça.

Après c'est juste une suggestion de ma part, je l'ai dis dés l'ouverture d'ailleurs et j'ai toujours le meme avis.
Mais pourquoi pas ? L'idée de base et le concept est américain, alors pourquoi avoir renié cette origine sur SDL alors que les asiatiques sont en général très friand de la culture occidentale, bien plus que d'autres ?
C'est juste sans doute que les chinois ne veulent pas associer le parc trop ouvertement aux USA ( ce qui est assez hypocrite dans un sens ), alors que ça a toujours été le cas auparavant et que dans le cas de SDL ça n'a pas pour autant réussi a améliorer le parc car cette absence n'est pour le moment pas encore compensé par autre chose, donc on y perd au change en plus. Dommage, parce que bon grossièrement ils ont un super mega Adventureland, un Fanta et un Tomorrow. Rien de très neuf et de très varié véritablement.
Pour aller dans le meme sens il n'y a pas que les USA, il n'y a pas non plus de référence de la Chine très marquante pourtant.
On est tellement loin de l'élaboration d'un MK façon Euro Disney, et c'est pas tellement mieux qu'un HDKL de 2005 dont on est plus proche. Seul l'envergure est le vrai point remarquable du resort.

Le 3 ème resort d'Asie quand meme, ils en ont voulus, c'est un public prometteur et demandeur, ils méritent bien plus que l'existent de SDL et HKDL actuellement.
