From Pirates to Princesses: Inside the Most Futuristic Disney Park

#summervacay “Distinctly Chinese” Disney Magic Shanghai Disneyland was designed with local Chinese culture in mind, creating an experience that feels authentically Disney but uniquely Chinese: Garden of the Twelve Friends replaces traditional zodiac animals with Disney characters (e.g., Tigger for the tiger, Remy for the rat). The food offerings include regional Chinese dishes, like noodles, rice bowls, and dim sum alongside Western snacks. Seasonal festivals like Chinese New Year are celebrated with special parades and decorations.
