Celebrating the Magic at Shanghai Disneyland

by Joe Schott, President and General Manager, Shanghai Disney Resort

A Disney park is a place unlike any other – where we are transported to wondrous worlds of fantasy and adventure to create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

Today, we marked a return to those worlds, as Shanghai Disneyland reopened its gates to welcome guests and fans.

For myself – and for our Shanghai Disney Resort cast members, who have taken great care to prepare the park for our guests – this is a very special moment. Making magic means even more to us today, as we reflect on the resilience of our community; our wonderful cast members who worked so diligently to preserve the park during the closure; the enthusiasm of our guests and fans; and, of course, the determination and dedication of the medical workers and first responders who helped to make this possible.

For Shanghai Disney Resort, while this is a key step in our phased reopening, there are many more milestones to come for us and our sister parks around the world. I invite you to learn more about our approach to reopening our parks here.

Thank you all for helping the magic live on, in your homes and imaginations, during these challenging times. I hope you enjoy these moments of joy and excitement from the first day of our reopening at Shanghai Disneyland!

Minnie Mouse Shares One of Her Favorite Poems About Her Passion for Polka-Dot

by Yolanda Cade, Director, Public Relations, Disney Signature Experiences

It’s no secret that Minnie Mouse is a lover of fashion and a style icon in her own right. She even has her own iconic fashion statement…polka-dots!

Her love of the bold and playful pattern can also be seen in one of her newest outfits at Topolino’s – Flavors of the Riviera at Disney’s Riviera Resort, but not how you are expecting.

Look closely and you might see that even though her dress is covered in the words of some of her favorite poems, her love of polka dots is clear as one of the poems is an ode to her signature print.

We hope this poem makes you smile as much as polka dots make Minnie Mouse smile.

Ode to my Polka-Dots
I wake up every morning
And put on my polka dots
I open up my closet,
And I see them –lots and lots!

The color doesn’t matter
Some are red and some are blue
But all my skirts are spotted,
My bows and bags are too!

I dress them up with ruffles
I dress them up with lace
You’d think that I’d grow tired of them
But oh! That’s not the case!

When I look into the mirror,
And it’s polka dots I see,
I just can’t help but smile
Because they make me feel like me!
