Disneytown, Shopping and dining district in Pudong, Shanghai, China
Disneytown is a shopping, dining, and entertainment district at Shanghai Disney Resort in Pudong, Shanghai, China. It is divided into five areas: Broadway Plaza, Broadway Boulevard, Spice Alley, Marketplace, and Lakeshore, each with its own mix of stores and restaurants.
Disneytown opened in 2016 as part of the first phase of Shanghai Disney Resort. The Walt Disney Grand Theatre hosted the Mandarin version of The Lion King for five years before the space was repurposed for a different show inside the park.
The design of Disneytown mixes Disney storytelling with local Shanghai touches, such as stone gate houses and seven glass Mickey statues that represent the five elements and the dragon and phoenix. Visitors can see these details while walking through the streets, and the area often hosts musicians and performers.
Disneytown is free to enter and sits right next to Shanghai Disneyland, so you can walk there from the park or the hotels. The area is flat and easy to navigate, with clear signs and plenty of places to sit and rest.
The World of Disney Store here is the first in Asia and is designed to look like a roundhouse train depot. It offers thousands of items, including products made in collaboration with local artisans.
