Due to high demand, Shanghai Disney Resort parking lots will be at or near full capacity during the weekends and holidays. Guests visiting Shanghai Disneyland and Disneytown are advised to take the metro, taxi or other public transportation.

Zootopia has officially opened at Shanghai Disneyland on December 20. As we continue to manage maximum capacity for each area of our resort, and in anticipation of high demand to visit Zootopia during its opening period, please understand that admission to Zootopia or its new attraction “Zootopia: Hot Pursuit” may not be secured for every guest who enters Shanghai Disneyland. However, guests will be able to encounter multiple new experiences with a Zootopia touch throughout the park, including decoration, entertainment, food & beverage and merchandise.

Please also note that overnight queuing for entry to Shanghai Disneyland on any day is not permitted. Guests are encouraged to plan their trip accordingly.

In the opening phase, we expect that pauses and brief downtimes may occur from time to time in the new attraction “Zootopia: Hot Pursuit”. Downtimes may occur for a variety of reasons due to the complexity of the ride system and built-in safety features, based on industry requirements and best practices. In the event of downtime, guests will be required to evacuate according to onsite cast members' instructions. Operation of the attraction will be resumed after the completion of all necessary procedures. We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our guests during this opening period.

History of Pirates of the Caribbean

Follow the successful path Pirates of the Caribbean has taken since it was introduced to the public in 1967.

Walt Disney and his Imagineers—a team specializing in imaginative engineering—decided to turn an idea they had for a pirate wax museum into an attraction using their latest innovation called Audio-Animatronics technology. So, on April 19, 1967, Pirates of the Caribbean opened in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park in California. It was the last attraction that Walt oversaw being created, and unfortunately he didn’t live long enough to see its completion. But he would have been proud and amazed by its extraordinary success.

Pirates of the Caribbean—featuring multiple Audio-Animatronic pirates, animals and birds—was immediately popular. So, a slightly modified take was created for Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, which opened on December 15, 1973. Again, public demand grew. Versions of it soon opened at Tokyo Disneyland in 1983 and Disneyland Paris in 1992.

Next, in 2003, a blockbuster film franchise was born with the release of the first Pirates of the Caribbean film—starring Johnny Depp in the role of Captain Jack Sparrow! Three other films soon followed, with a fifth film set for release in 2017.

And now at last, Guests can experience an entire land devoted to pirates at Shanghai Disneyland—the first pirate-themed land in a Disney Resort anywhere in the world!
