Disneytown


Disneytown is a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex at the Shanghai Disney Resort in Pudong, Shanghai, China. It is the largest attraction of the resort outside of the parks, featuring many original and licensed market experiences. It is the Shanghai equivalent of other Disney Parks' major shopping centers, such as Downtown Disney. Unlike the Shanghai Disneyland park, Disneytown does not require a ticket to enter.
Disneytown is located between the Disneyland park and the hotels on the property. It consists of five districts: Broadway Plaza, Broadway Boulevard, Spice Alley, Marketplace and Lakeshore.
The main attraction is the 3,000-square-meter World of Disney Store. This "extraordinary retail experience" is inspired by a railroad roundhouse and offers thousands of products for sale inspired by and made exclusively for the Shanghai Disney Resort. Its assortment of items includes clothing, accessories, souvenirs, toys, collectibles, costumes, luggage, and pre-packaged food. It also specializes in personalized products and products specially made for collaboration with local artisans.

    Closed experiences

When Disneytown opened in 2016, there was focus on 2 major attractions for the shopping center. Alongside the World of Disney Store, there was also a production of The Lion King musical for the first time in Mandarin Chinese at the Walt Disney Grand Theatre. This show was a separate ticketed event, and featured a brand-new character, a "mischievous monkey," as described by the musical's director Julie Taymor, for the Chinese year of the monkey. After a run of five years, playing not only The Lion King, but also Beauty and the Beast, the theatre was repurposed as an attraction to be accessed inside the Shanghai Disneyland park. The Broadway-style musicals were replaced by Mickey's Storybook Adventure, a new production running 28 minutes, which featured a revue of songs from Disney's The Jungle Book, Moana, Mulan, ''Tangled, Zootopia, The Princess and the Frog, and Frozen.''
