Shanghai Disneyland

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

And there’s HUGE cultural differences in Asia so to lump them all together as one being isn’t really an accurate portrayal of reality.

Shanghai Disneyland....from Disney's 1st quarter (Oct. Nov. Dec. 2018)report ...drop in attendance plus increased costs.....interesting......perhaps the luster is wearing off, or the flattening of the Chinese economy is affecting attendance.

The overall Chinese economy has entered a recession, see Apple and Samsung for example. We're likely next this summer.

If we're being particular, the Chinese have been experiencing a slowdown in growth, not a retraction of GDP which is the definition of a recession.

No mention of Shanghai's attendance/revenue etc. in Disney's quarterly report. That's interesting.

This is starting to look like one of those Walking Dead TV/Movie series....only in real life.....China really needs to shut down all of those markets (the central government has outlawed them but the people, towns and markets pay no attention) selling any creature, to eat, that walks or crawls or flies. These weird pathogens keep popping up from people eating that diseased unregulated dirty disgusting stuff.

They really need to 'permanently' shut down the live wildlife and exotic meat markets . This is the second time it's bit them in the a _ _. When will they learn?

They do. But it's not really possible. The Chinese Gov't isn't interested in developing the infrastructure nationwide that would sustain a controlled food supply chain.

Via WDW News, I know it's terrible that the park has had to close temporarily, but what a wonderful opportunity to get these pics with no guests, truly stunning.

You know, they really built a stunning park there castle bulk aside. Nice to see a semi clear day.

Apparently with so many factories shut down right now due to the Corona Virus the air has cleared up quite a bit.

Amazing difference.

Shanghai Disney is starting a partial re opening today. Parts of Downtown Disney and selected hotel resort venues will open today. The theme park itself, is not yet open.

That's at least a modestly promising development.

I’d like to know if this opening is more from China’s pushing or Disney’s. I’d guess China.

Contrast that with HK, who has contained the virus in remarkable fashion; is it HK government or Disney pushing not opening there?

And obviously Shanghai is profitable whereas HK isn’t, so that’s another underlying issue.
