But it will also feature all-new experiences and stories that were inspired by and created for the people of China
It appears that there will not be a traditional Main Street USA,
But also rather a larger entry plaza to the park, featuring water elements and, presumably, some of the nods to Chinese culture to which Staggs referred.
The Walt Disney Company today broke ground and began construction on Shanghai Disneyland, a joint venture with the Chinese government.
And that's about as much detail as Disney's publicly given. A look at the concept art doesn't reveal much: Disney will build the Florida/Tokyo version of its castle, rather than the Anaheim/Hong Kong version. It looks like there will be a carousel and a Dumbo-style ride, as well.
