Shanghai Disney Resort has announced a year-long celebration of the resort's 10th anniversary. New and enhanced entertainment offerings, limited-time food and beverage options, specialty merchandise, unique character costumes and more can be experienced during this special event! https://disneyparksblog.com/shdl/shanghai-disney-resort-10th-anniversary-celebration/ The 10th anniversary of Shanghai Disney Resort kicks off on March 20! This year-long celebration invites everyone to enjoy all-new entertainment, shimmering décor, festive eats, exclusive merchandise, and more across the entire resort. There’s so much you won’t want to miss during “With You, It’s Magic+,” so we’ve got you covered with the ultimate guide to the 10th anniversary. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Entertainment The Heart of Magic A brand-new entertainment production takes the castle stage to new heights for the 10th Birthday. “The Heart of Magic” will unfold across Enchanted Storybook Castle, now complete with three satellite stages and connecting bridges that bring you closer than ever to the story. Mickey and Friends will embark on a quest to restore the Heart of Magic, joined by beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Cinderella, Winnie the Pooh, Tangled, Mulan, Hercules, Frozen, and Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story, Coco, and Turning Red. Hercules will make his Shanghai Disneyland debut, and Miguel steps out for his first major park role at the park. Beautiful new couture outfits, timeless melodies, and cinematic staging will create a show you won’t want to miss. Mickey’s Storybook Express with New Birthday Additions To celebrate this big milestone, the fan-favorite parade “Mickey’s Storybook Express” will receive two exciting additions. FriendSHIP! The Duffy and Friends’ Special Pre-Parade Sailing ahead of Mickey’s Storybook Express, an adorable new float shaped like a golden ship, decorated with playful waves, a telescope, and shimmering birthday details brings Duffy and Friends to life in a whole new way at Shanghai Disney Resort. Catch all seven friends onboard in new celebratory attire — plus selected guests will even join the procession for an extra-special moment. All-New Zootopia Parade Float A high-energy Zootopia party will roll in as part of Mickey’s Storybook Express featuring superstar Gazelle’s concert bus. The celebration will hit full throttle as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde lead an upbeat Zootopia bash, joined by DJ Officer Clawhauser spinning lively tracks. Surrounding the vibrant concert bus, a vibrant troupe of Zootopia residents will amp up the excitement, including Gary De’Snake winding himself into playful knots, newly elected mayor Brian Winddancer leaning out with confidence, and the Big family will join the festivities too! Together, they will fuel a high‑spirited street party elevated by infectious performances of “Try Everything” from Zootopia and “Zoo” from Zootopia 2. Illuminate! A Nighttime Celebration The dazzling nighttime spectacular shines brighter than ever on Enchanted Storybook Castle. The reimagined “Illuminate! A Nighttime Celebration” will debut a grand new finale where Mickey Mouse appears in a flash of magic sparkles, wearing a majestic new magician ensemble. Fountains, lasers, fireworks, and projections will turn the Gardens of Imagination into a festive party. Plus, a brand-new segment inspired by Disney Animation’s Wish will feature Asha, Star, and the inspirational lyrics of “This Wish”. More Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Entertainment Adding even more fun to the celebration, the all-new Star Squad will bring extra cheer to seasonal entertainment throughout the year, stepping out in dazzling, star‑themed outfits that brighten every corner of the resort. Kicking things off in spring, energetic dancers will invite guests to join in the fun everywhere, starting moments before the “FriendSHIP! The Duffy and Friends’ Special Pre-Parade,” then for fun summer moments with Chip ‘n’ Dale at Gardens of Imagination, autumn’s playful spook-tacular cavalcade, the Winter Royal Ball’s Disney Princesses and Princes encounters, and the lively Zootopia Street Party during Chinese New Year. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Food and Drink Shanghai Disney Resort will be serving up a delicious lineup of 10th anniversary treats all year long. In a nod to one of China’s most iconic birthday traditions, noodle dishes will appear across menus throughout the resort. The culinary journey continues with signature flavors hailing from cities around China, providing guests from across the country with a wide array of options to enjoy distinctive treats infused with a Disney twist. Fan-favorite snacks from the past decade will also return and 10th anniversary souvenirs — like new popcorn buckets, cups, and straw clips inspired by the park’s favorite snacks — will let you bring the magic home. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Merchandise The largest dedicated merchandise collection in Shanghai Disney Resort history will debut for the milestone year. Plush, apparel, accessories, collectibles, and more will feature glimmering designs inspired by Mickey and Friends, Duffy and Friends, and Enchanted Storybook Castle. And for the first time, new interactive and personalized elements give guests ways to express themselves, including the all-new Magic Wand, which lets guests summon and collect magic throughout the park. Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Characters In honor of the celebration, Mickey and Friends, as well as Duffy and Friends, will don brand-new birthday outfits designed just for the occasion. Inspired by the glimmering celebration theme, the outfits will burst with wishing star magic. Even More Shanghai Disney Resort 10th Anniversary Fun to Discover Shimmering Décor Everywhere You Look From the moment you arrive at the gate, anniversary magic shines brightly. A new Mickey Floral display will feature the 10th anniversary logo and a playful birthday hat, while glimmering stars and hidden 10th motifs will appear throughout the park, hotels, and Disneytown. Magical Moments with Cast Members From morning to night, cast members will be creating memorable moments, from whimsical floor art to delightful shopping and dining encounters, as well as special birthday and anniversary surprises. Throughout the day, a lively Magic Squad dressed in shimmering outfits logo will appear across the resort with surprise interactions. My Magic Star Keep the celebration going before, during and after your visit through a digital experience called “My Magic Star”. Create a personalized star, draw daily magical cards, interact with new digital entertainment, unlock special in-park experiences, and share memories with themed templates and effects. 10th Birthday Collectible Tickets Starting March 20, new collectible park tickets will feature 30 Disney characters. Each ticket will include a puzzle piece that forms a complete set over multiple visits and a section of a Shanghai Disneyland landmark that can be used to take creative photos across the resort. Disneytown and Resort Hotels Disneytown will also join the festivities with seasonal twists, markets, crafts, and walking tours beginning this spring. At the resort hotels, enjoy in-room birthday surprises and a hidden “10” discovery tour. As Shanghai Disney Resort steps into its exciting 10th anniversary year, there’s never been a better time to visit! With enchanting entertainment, dazzling décor, delicious treats, and magical surprises waiting around every corner, we can’t wait to welcome you to the festivities beginning March 20. -

Lease with Six Flags has a lot of time left and is triple net. With it not being mentioned as part of the deal, id say SF keeps it. -

There is no more Fair in Cedar Fair. So, will Frontier City also become an Enchanted Park? -
By thisdougsforu · Posted
Same. We are entering an incredibly interesting time in the park's history, which is more than could be said if things kept on as normal with the previous (horrendous) owners/management. The deal for all 7 parks was for $342 million according to Screamscape. One would sure assume that the new ownership group did not make this purchase unless they thought there was money to be made, so I think that bodes well for at least the immediate future. Probably not the long term future if things sputter, but yeah, I'd much rather roll the dice and MAYBE have chance of legit seeing improvement. I'm hoping they do not continue with any sort of agreement for the DC/WB licensing and instead do what they can to rebrand/rename and hopefully have some sort of semblance of actual theming in the park, even if it's somewhat rudimentary. I hope this park is successful. I think the opportunity is very much there if these folks come at with an actual solid plan and the budget to see it through, whatever that may be. If they can present a solid vision for what it will be, I'll happily buy passes for my entire family again and be ready to spend time and money there. If it eventually goes the way of another McBride homes subdivision, well I hope the next few years are fun, at least! -

^To add to that, Valleyfair wasn't part of the parks originally trademarked by Enchanted Parks. And the park recently took out a $45M loan to use for CapEx. It'll be interesting to see what happens with that. -

Wonder if the land was purchased for more then what EPR Properties got those 7 parks for -
Batman becomes "Black Inverted Coaster" Freeze becomes "Blue Launched Boomerang Coaster" Joker becomes "Spinning Fling Machine" Justice League = "The Empty Bldg" (SF parted it out to other parks) -
Poor SFA wondering what they did wrong to be sold off for crap instead of purchased! -
I honestly found Valleyfair the most shocking park in the announcement. It's an original Cedar FAIR park!!! I realize SFStL is also, but that park has felt on the way out for years already!
