The Hong Kong government released financial information about Hong Kong Disneyland, in which it owns a 53% stake, after pressure from local lawmakers last month. They wanted details on the financial agreement with Disney, particularly the royalties and management fees it paid the California media giant. The request on the part of lawmakers came as the government requested HK $5.8 billion in funding to expand the park over the course of six years, the Post reported. The lawmakers are vowing to veto the funding request unless the government negotiates better terms with Disney.

In February 2014 Hong Kong Disneyland announced it is to build a third hotel. Walt Disney Corporation will contribute HK$1.7 billion in cash and loan HK$1.15 billion to Hong Kong Disneyland which will seek a loan of HK$809 million from the Hong Kong government. The seven storey "Disney Explorers Lodge" hotel, due to open in 2017, will have 750 rooms and feature four themed gardens based on "exotic cultures" from around the world, including the African savannah, South American rainforest, Polynesian island paradise and Asia. The hotel will also include three restaurants, shop and outdoor pool.
