Yesterday, Bob Iger confirmed the future expansion plans for Shanghai Disneyland.

“When we open, we will continue the construction to expand what is on the opening-day menu and we are already discussing what to do next year,” he told media assembled at the jungle-themed Adventure Isle attraction at Shanghai Disneyland.

In another interview, Iger said more attractions are already in the pipeline, including one supported by the automobile brand Chevrolet, which will open later this year, and one opening early next year based on the Disney cartoon franchise Toy Story.

On the longer term, the second phase of the theme park, which will cover 3.9 square kilometers, will be situated between the current park and the Value Retail Shanghai Village, an outlet adjacent to Disneyland.

The capacity of the theme park has been increased to 40,000 people from the planned 30,000.

The capacity quote seems wrong to me, a park of that size should be closer to double that figure per day? I haven't seen any other figures for daily attendance though so unsure...

Always good to be reminded from where all these great projects start.
The themeparkguy has also got some great images going way back before even demolition started

I know that they have had Star Wars characters on the park but didn't realise there was a physical location with Star Wars theming.

This is in Tomorrowland in the Star Wars Launch Bay. It was the final attraction to open on the last day of Trial Operations.

Also some queue line theming for Tron which I haven't seen this close up before.
