Shanghai Disneyland (2016) - Le Parc en général

La Chine entrera dans l'année du Coq de Feu Rouge le 28 janvier prochain.

Le resort célèbre les festivités du Nouvel An lunaire (Nouvel An chinois) du samedi 7 janvier au dimanche 12 février aussi bien dans le Parc qu'à Disneytown avec décorations et animations assorties.

L'occasion de rencontrer les personnages parés de costumes traditionnels, d'assister à la cérémonie des tambours et à la cavalcade du Dragon à Gardens of Imagination, de goûter aux délices traditionnels chinois et d'acquérir des souvenirs commémoratifs !














D'autre part, le Parc liquide ses stocks de souvenirs estampillés "Grand Opening", jusqu'au 25 février pour l'achat de deux articles (ou plus), 40 % de réduction seront offerts (à l'exclusion des séries limitées).

De plus les visiteurs effectuant leurs achats à la boutique M Arcade de Mickey Avenue avant midi se verront offrir une réduction de 10 % (hors articles exceptionnels).

Enfin, devant régulièrement faire face à des pics de pollution, le gouvernement de la Ville de Shanghai a décidé de bannir les feux d'artifice les jours enregistrant un haut niveau de pollution atmosphérique. Le Parc s'est ainsi vu récemment contraint d'annuler les effets pyrotechniques de son spectacle nocturne afin de respecter cette nouvelle réglementation introduite à la fin de l'année dernière au risque de devoir payer de lourdes amendes ! Près de 1.400 sites, dont des parcs d'attractions, sont concernés pas cette nouvelle mesure. De son côté, la ville de Pékin connaissant des problèmes similaires, pensent également à interdire les grillades/barbecues lors des journées où la pollution atmosphérique atteint un niveau élevé !

En six mois, Shanghai Disneyland a attiré presque autant de visiteurs que le parc Hong Kong Disneyland sur une année :

Shanghai Disney riding high and on track to overtake Hong Kong ‘rival’

Shanghai Disney Resort attracted in six months almost as many visitors as its Hong Kong counterpart lures in a whole year despite harsh criticism about expensive food and long queues inside the park.

Fan Xiping, chairman of Shanghai Shendi Group, a state-backed consortium that owns 57 per cent of the 34 billion yuan (HK$38.2 billion) amusement project, said 5.6 million people – or an average of 30,000 each day – visited the complex in the second half of last year, Xinhua reported on Sunday.

“The number of 5.6 million is on par with the Disneyland in Japan and is nearly equivalent to the full-year visitor number for the Hong Kong counterpart,” he said.

In 2015, Hong Kong Disneyland attracted 6.8 million visitors.

Hongyuan Securities forecast the park, Disney’s sixth worldwide, would at least draw 10 million visitors a year.

Speaking on the sidelines of the annual session of the city’s people’s congress and the political consultative conference, Fan said 80 per cent of visitors were satisfied with the park’s attractions and services, according to an independent survey.

Shanghai mayor Yang Xiong said in a government work report to the congress that the resort’s launch was one of the city’s major achievements last year.

Shanghai Disney Resort officially opened on June 16 after a month-long test run. It initially attracted criticism for the high cost of food and long queues inside the theme park.

Then, in the first three months after the launch, the operators controlled the number of daily tickets for sale to ensure smooth running of the mega project.

Disney and the Shanghai government have tried to play down speculation about the rivalry ­between the Disney resort and its counterparts in Hong Kong and Tokyo.

The Shanghai Disney resort mainly targets the estimated 330 million people who live within a three-hour drive of the project.

Fan said 53 per cent of the visitors were from the Yangtze River Delta region, with Shanghai résidents accounting for 27 per cent of the people passing through the gates.

The 3.9 sq km Disney resort in Shanghai is the latest manifestation of the city’s ambitions to become a world city.

Yang said on Sunday that Shanghai would press on this year with its push to transform itself into a global financial and shipping centre.

“Shanghai will further liberalise the green bond market, drive the growth of the financial technology sector with improvements to the regulatory system and complete the construction of the fourth-phase expansion of the Yangshan deep-water port,” he said.

The new container port facility at Yangshan will have a capacity to handle 4 million 20-foot-equivalent unit (teu) containers a year, adding to the roughly 15 million teus the port can handle now

Shanghai Disney welcomes nearly 6 mln visitors in 7 months

Shanghai Disneyland received close to 6 million visitors in the first seven months of it opening in mid-June, Fan Xiping, chairman of Shanghai Shendi Group, Disney's Chinese partner, said Monday.

Fan, who is also a member of the standing committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said 5.6 million people had visited Shanghai Disneyland by Dec. 31, 2016.

Eighty percent of the visitors said they were "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with their visits, according to a third party survey.

Meanwhile, Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story Hotel reported up to 90 percent occupancy. The first-ever Mandarin production of "The Lion King" was staged over 220 times, making it the most-run Broadway musical in the Chinese mainland.

"Both sides from China and the US are satisfied with the park's performance," Fan said. "We'll work together to improve our operational and service standards, to deliver exceptional service to visitors from all over the world."

Previously, Walt Disney, in its 2016 fiscal year report, said that Shanghai Disneyland received 4 million visitors in its first four months of operation.

Shanghai Disney attracts 5.6 million tourists in half year

As of December 31, 2016, Shanghai Disneyland had received 5.6 million tourists. It opened on June 16, 2016, making it one of the fastest Disneyland resorts in the world to attract 5 million tourists, Shanghai Morning Post reports.

Fan Xiping, president of the Chinese operator of Shanghai Disney (Shanghai Shendi Group), told the Post on Saturday that their survey showed over 80 percent of tourists felt satisfied with the service at Shanghai Disneyland. Occupancy rates of the two themed hotels at the resort have been greater than 90 percent, and the Chinese version of Disney musical "The Lion King" has been performed more than 200 times, Fan added.

Decorative Candies Taken Away by Tourists at Shanghai Disneyland

Visitors to Shanghai Disneyland walked away with decorative candies from a Donald Duck holding a candy box, according to a netizen’s Weibo post.

The Donald Duck is dressed in traditional Chinese outfit in celebration of the upcoming Spring Festival. As people.com.cn showed, lots of candies can be seen in the box at the very beginning. But on January 10, only half left and three days later, there were even fewer.

Some web users commented as following:

“While children can be thoughtless, then how about their parents?”

“If you really like the accessories, why not go buy the sideline products at the souvenir store?”

“The decorative candies were glued to the box to prevent people from taking them away, and the staff perhaps didn’t expect that someone really did it!”

“It’s kind of a ‘follow suit’ mentality. Someone might think they lose something if they don’t follow others to take away the candies. What a shame!”

Outcry after Chinese tourists ‘steal’ Donald Duck’s sweets

Decorative candies nabbed from statue of the cartoon character at Disney resort in Shanghai

Photographs of how tourists stole decorative sweets from a tray held by a Donald Duck statue at Shanghai Disneyland went viral on the internet, with many criticising their dishonesty.

The resort set up the statue as part of decorations to mark the forthcoming Lunar New Year holiday.

The sweets were largely decorative as they were made of plastic foam placed in candy wrappers, but that did not stop tourists stealing them for souvenirs.

A set of photographs which documented the thefts attracted huge attention online, showing Donald Duck holding a full stack of candy on the first day and left with an almost empty plate three days later.

Many social media users condemned tourists for stealing.

The website of the state news agency Xinhua also reported the story on social media and parents were quoted as saying they stole the sweets simply because their children asked for them.

Many social media users criticised the parents for not disciplining their children.

One social media user said he felt embarrassed as a Chinese citizen that so many of his fellow compatriots lacked the most basic decorum as to how to behave in public.

Another social media user wrote: “If you can’t discipline your own hands, you shouldn’t have them.”

Shanghai Disney Resort has provided a series of additional New Year activities, including Dragon Dance performances in the Gardens of Imagination every day during the celebration period. Mickey leads the dragon with a “pearl” and welcomes the guests to join him and his pals in the dance. The longer the dragon, the more luck it brings to the guests.





Guests gather along the longest parade route in a Disney park to enjoy Mickey’s Storybook Express, an exciting parade with its own musical soundtrack and colorful performers.



In the Chinese zodiac-inspired Garden of the Twelve Friends, the Year of the Rooster is represented by an Allan-A-Dale mosaic, which is beautifully adorned in sleek, new red couplets for another fun photo opportunity.



Classic Disney characters are dressed in brand-new, beautiful Chinese traditional attire on Mickey Avenue, sharing hugs and taking photos with guests.

To the tune of a charming symphony composition by famous Chinese musician Tan Dun, a series of inspirational wishes and quotes are projected onto Mickey-shaped lanterns on the towering Enchanted Storybook Castle.

Shanghai Disney Resort - 28 janvier 2017.

Shanghai Disney Resort anticipait une forte affluence à l'occasion du Nouvel An chinois (voir message du 27 janvier) et cela se vérifie puisque en complément du dimanche 29, les lundi 30 et mardi 31 janvier sont également sold out ! (aucun billet d'entrée ne sera vendu aux guichets du parc ces deux jours non plus).

Le resort recommande également aux visiteurs planifiant une visite ce mercredi 1er février d'acquérir leur sésame à l'avance car cette journée sera également fort chargée et le Parc risque d'atteindre rapidement sa capacité maximale !

EDIT : le resort confirme que le mercredi 1er février (et pour le quatrième jour consécutif donc) aucun billet d'entrée ne sera vendu aux guichets du Parc en cette journée. Il est donc impératif d'en acquérir à l'avance !

Il n'en n'ont pas profité pour créer le character d'Allan-a-dale ?
Ça aurait été à propos.

Les guichets du Parc sont une fois de plus restés fermés ce vendredi 3 février, le Parc affichant à nouveau complet avec la prévente en ligne et dans les points de vente officiels !

Shanghai Disneyland attire ainsi les foules depuis près d'une semaine maintenant - depuis l'entrée dans l'année du Coq de Feu Rouge dimanche dernier !

j'ai une question :est-ce vraiment si étonnant que ça? j'ai lu quelque part que la semaine du nouvel an était pour beaucoup le seul moment dans l'année où ils avaient des congés. Si on ajoute à ça l'effet de nouveauté, encore actuel, on est vite dans l'engorgement...

Rien d'étonnant, c'est bien la période la plus chargée de l'année. Mais c'est encourageant de voir que le succès est bien au rendez-vous !

Haha j’avoue avoir décroché un petit sourire en voyant Gas en costume traditionnel chinois ^^.

Énorme le coup des faux bonbons volés

Ils ont mis le paquet pour le nouvel an, faut dire c'était le premier ils devaient pas se louper.

Shanghai Disneyland informe qu'aucun billet d'entrée ne sera vendu demain lundi 6 février aux guichets du Parc et rappelle qu'il est donc inutile de se présenter demain aux portes du Parc si l'on ne possède pas de billet d'entrée acheté en prévente (par contre le resort encourage les visiteurs qui ne possède pas de billet d'entrée à découvrir Disneytown ).

La Fête du Printemps est la fête la plus importante en Chine et Shanghai Disneyland connaît une fréquentation maximale depuis le 28 janvier dernier.

La Fête du Printemps (Chun Jié), ou période du nouvel an chinois (28 janvier au 11 février) est une fête très importante. Beaucoup de travailleur dispose d'une semaine de congé et en profite donc pour voyager en famille.
SHDR c'était la destination... à éviter si tu n'aimes pas attendre dans la file.

Ce monde me fait peur ...
J'espère ne pas connaitre la même affluence cet été !

Ben, si tu y vas en plein été, ce sera pire car il y aura du monde (un petit peu moins que sur les photos quand même) mais il fera surtout 50° à l'ombre !

soit tranquille en été il y a du monde mais moins que sur les photos précédentes. De mémoire pour l'été 2016, des billets étaient dispo chaque jour aux caisses du parc.
Le Spring Festival c'est juste particulier, pour lui trouvé un équivalent c'est comme Noel.

Là c'était les vacances pour le nouvel an chinois surtout.
Ils se déplacent beaucoup à ce moment là.
En été j'imagine qu'il y aura aussi du monde et qu'il fera chaud.
J'étais au Cambodge et en Thaïlande à la même période l'an dernier et j'ai survécu donc je pense que ça se passera bien à ce niveau là.

Shanghai Disneyland attracts 7 million visitors since opening, expects to break even this year

SHANGHAI Disneyland has received about 7 million visitors since its opening in June last year, a figure that senior resort officials say will help them to break even this year.

The Walt Disney Company today reported quarterly earnings for its first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016. Revenues for the quarter reached US$14.784 billion and net income was US$2.479 billion.

The growth was due to the opening of Shanghai Disney Resort in Q3 of fiscal 2016, said Christine McCarthy, the company’s chief financial officer. She said improved results at both Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland helped boost revenues.

“One of our biggest success stories in 2016 came from parks and resorts, with the opening of Shanghai Disneyland,” said Robert Iger, the company’s chairman and chief executive officer.

He said Shanghai Disneyland could potentially exceed 10 million in total attendance by its first anniversary.

“The park’s rapidly growing popularity, it’s extremely high levels of guest satisfaction, and the huge attendance during Chinese New Year, add to our confidence in the resort’s ability to reach break even in this fiscal year,” Iger said.

The park proved to be popular with visitors during the Chinese New Year holiday — operating at maximum capacity for virtually the entire of holiday period.

Ticket sales had to be limited or suspended due to high attendance.

Shanghai Disney Resort includes a Magic Kingdom style theme park, two themed hotels, a Broadway style theater, an international shopping, dining and entertainment district and Wishing Star Park.

The resort’s “Authentically Disney and Distinctly Chinese” design, entertainment and attractions concepts have proved to be popular with Chinese consumers.

Shanghai Disney eyes over 10m visitors

THE Shanghai Disney Resort has received around 7 million visitors since its opening in June, which will help the park break even this fiscal year, senior officials said yesterday.

The Walt Disney Co reported on Tuesday that net profit for its fiscal first quarter ended on December 31 dropped 14 percent to US$2.48 billion from a year earlier. Quarterly revenue shrank 3 percent to US$14.78 billion.

But the opening of Shanghai Disney Resort and improved results at both Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland helped growth at the international parks unit, said Christine McCarthy, Disney’s chief financial officer.

Robert Iger, its chairman and chief executive officer, said: “One of our biggest success stories in 2016 came from Parks and Resorts, with the opening of Shanghai Disneyland.”

He said the Shanghai Disney Resort could potentially exceed 10 million visitors by the park’s first anniversary.

“The park’s rapidly growing popularity, its extremely high levels of guest satisfaction and the huge attendance during Chinese New Year add to our confidence in the resort’s ability to reach break-even in this fiscal year,” Iger said.

He said other growth areas came from the US entertainment giant’s studio, which had three global hits, including “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”

C'est quand même rigolo de voir ce parc, dont on a une image de "parc toujours bondé" recevoir au final une affluence plus faible que celle du DLP qui est loin d'être toujours bondé. Est ce que le parc Disneyland de Shanghai peut supporter une plus faible affluence ? Ou est ce que les foules de Shanghai ne sont qu'une illusion que l'on a ici au travers du prisme des réseaux sociaux ?

Les deux.
En semaine, hors vacances scolaires, il n'y a personne comme c'est le cas à Disneyland Paris.
Mais le Parc a régulièrement des journées bien remplies, souvent plus que Disneyland Paris.
Cela dit, dix millions de visiteurs en un an, c'est excellent. Disneyland Paris peut accueillir bien plus de monde avec ses deux Parcs, il ne faut pas omettre que Shanghai Disney Resort n'en a qu'un seul.

En tout cas, ces chiffres sont rassurants et le Resort devrait rapidement être rentables. Toy Story Land aura tout juste le temps d'être terminé que d'autres projets seront certainement annoncés assez vite.
