A Closer Look at Shanghaî Disneyland Guide Map



On the new version of the Shanghaî Disneyland site you'll find a brand new map of the park and resort. Actually, this new map is most probably the same than the "guide map" that SDL guests will be able to pick up when they'll visit the park starting June 16! And this map reveal here and there details we didn't knew about the park, so let's have a closer look at it. Just make sure to click on each screen captures to see them in big size.

First picture below shows the park entrance on the right and Disney Town on the left.  The Steamboat Willie fountain is located before the entrance on the lower right of the pic. The important point here is on the upper left as you'll see there is a path going from the park to the upper part of Disney Town, meaning that SDL guests will most probably be able to exit the park using this path to enter directly inside Disney Town.



A closer look at the World of Disney Store shows it will have a Mickey in an airplane - probably turning endlessly - on the top.



And nearby the Lakeshore restaurants close to Wishing Star lake have a "Lakeshore" marquee on the top.



Okay, let's go in the park now and the picture below shows Mickey Avenue, with the Carthay Theater at the top left of this little Avenue. By the way, note that each time you'll see a little black hat with stars going out of it it means that it'll be an "entertainment location" whether it'll be musicians, street performers, characters meeting point, or shows.


Next is the map of the Gardens of Imagination. Note the arch at the entrance, when you drive from Mickey Avenue. The fantasia Carousel is the one on the right and the Dumbo ride is on the left.



The picture below shows the whole Fantasyland and Enchanted Storybook castle.



But there is more to see in Fantasyland, so let's have a closer look. First a close-up on SDL castle.



The map of Voyage to the Crystal grotto ride reveal in which order guests will discover each scenes of the boat ride.


Even more interesting, the part of the map showing the Alice in Wonderland Maze, inspired by Tim Burton movie. You'll see where will be located the giant head of the Red Queen, close to the castle, as well as the Mad Hatter Tea Party table, at the other end of the maze. Note the multiple entrances of the maze.



The picture below shows the Fantasyland buildings on the left of the castle with Peter pan's Flight at the very left. The building on the other side, at the top, is the load : unload building for Voyage to the Crystal grotto.


Next picture shows the Seven Dwarfs mine Train. No big surprise here, but note the Winnie the Pooh rides on the left.


Below, the part of the map showing the two Winnie the Pooh rides - the regular dark ride, DL version, not the one of TDL - and the "tea cups" ride with Hunny pots, as well as the Tangled tower and tavern restaurant.


A close up on the Winnie area shows that the entrance should look like the one at Disneyland.



The other building nearby will be where will take place the Frozen Sing-a-long Celebration.


Let's move now to Treasure Cove and its pirates theming! The screen capture below shows of course the POTC fortress..



...and the little pirate village on the right with the entrance to the Barbossa's restaurant.



The next picture shows Treasure Cove lagoon that guests will be able to explore with the canoes...



But if we look even closer we can discover the location of "Skull Island", made with multiple skull rocks...



Let's move to Adventure Isle and its huge Roaring Rapids mountain! If you look at the upper right behind the mountain you'll see a stone arch, the entrance to Soaring Over the Horizon attraction!




A zoom on Roaring Rapids mountain fro a closer look to Camp Discovery and the twist and turns of the Roaring Rapids raft ride.



We still have one more land to look at, and it's Tomorrowland! The Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue rid as well was the Stitch Encounter are located in the "super block" building on the bottom.  Also note this little restaurant on the top left...

...it's called "Celebration Cafe" and you can see painted on the wall Mickey and the gang as well as others Disney characters.

Well, that's it for the exploration of this new SDL map which, as i've said, will surely be the guide map of the park, starting June 16!

Shanghaî Disneyland Hotels Update - With New Artworks !

I've got a new Shanghaî Disneyland update for you today and this time it's all about SDL Hotels as new renderings of each hotel were posted on the Shanghaî Disney Resort website!

We'll start by the Shanghaî Disneyland five stars "art nouveau" style hotel.


First picture shows the SDL hotel lobby. Nota that all pictures were shown as a digital book with half of them on each page so i had to stick the two parts of each image together, that's why the pics have a kind of vertical line in the center.


The next picture below shows some of the artworks that will be displayed in the hotel, with an art nouveau style.


Next is the elegant art-nouveau restaurant.


I'm adding this next picture showing the bar which was released previously.


First picture showing a room of the SDL Hotel!


The swimming pool of the SDL Hotel, with a Little Mermaid theme.


...And the Grand ball room which will be perfect for wedding celebrations!


Let's have a look now at the Toy Story Hotel.


The hotel has of course a Toy Story theming.


The pictures below shows the entrance of the hotel and the hotel lobby.



Next is a picture of a room of the Toy Story Hotel.


A rendering showing the outer areas of the hotel.


Next artwork shows the outdoor area with a giant Woody as well as Rex and the Pixar ball.


And here is the artwork for the other outdoor area with a giant Buzz Lightyear.


That's all for today's SDL Update, more coming soon so stay tuned on D&M!

Shanghai Disneyland Update : A Look at Adventure Isle in Details


You've seen before this great rendering above showing Shanghaî Disneyland Adventure Isle. The file you've seen previously was a 2000px file, surely big enough to allow to zoom in it but not enough to see everything in clear details. I've succeeded to find a 8000px file and this one allows to zoom even more in the artwork without losing in quality. So, let's have a closer look at Adventure Isle, would we? Also, i strongly suggest you to click on each picture to see it in bigger size. You also have for each the official description from SDL.

We start by Roaring Rapids, the big E-Ticket ride of the land:

"Roaring Rapids will take guests on a white-knuckle adventure through the heart of Adventure Isle. Riding a raft propelled only by gravity and water, anything can happen as guests plunge down a mountain and into a dark cavern where the undiscovered secrets of an ancient tribal legend and the reptilian creature Q’aráq are revealed. Only those who venture into the mountain will encounter the massive, mysterious Q’aráq."



As you can see on the above artwork, the Roaring Rapids raft ride will not only have a drop but also will go inside the mountain - to meet the creature - and include too geyser and fire effects. The loading area is in the round building in the center with the queue going on first in the open air building below, on the bottom. Then the rafts will go down before turning left and go up to the mountain. When they'll come down before the arrival there will be some fire effect, then the drop, and a geyser sequence just before the unload.

On this next one we can see the rafts already up in the mountain before getting inside it. The mountain waterfalls should be impressive and highly enjoyable!



The scaffolding looking structure that you see near the mountain is the one for Camp Discovery:

"Shanghai Disneyland is the first Disney park to offer Camp Discovery, a place where adventurers of all ages and abilities will gather to explore waterfalls, ruins and dig sites in search of ancient tribal relics. They may explore natural wonders and ancient legends, trek past waterfalls and discover tribal ruins in an elevated ropes course created specifically for this land. Guests will be able to choose their own expeditions at Camp Discovery, with some opting for the thrilling natural wonders of Roaring Mountain and others choosing to see the views and become immersed in science, nature, and history."



SDL guests will not only climb up this structure but also explore caves located on the left side of the mountain. The building you can see on the left is probably the one for the Tarzan show, the show building for Soaring Over The Horizon being a bit further on the right behind the mountain.



There is more to see in Adventure Isle with the Tribal table restaurant and Explorers Canoes...



The Tribal Table restaurant located near the entrance to the Roaring Rapids ride will be "a festive, art-filled restaurant, inviting guests to come together for an appetizing meal in a sensory dining experience. Sights, sounds and smells will whet the appetite as guests enjoy the action of live cooking with fiery woks and rotisseries. This ancient gathering house in the Arbori village is the native heart and soul of the land, offering vivid flavors, a friendly atmosphere and beautiful artwork. The murals, artifacts and illustrations will dazzle visitors with scenes from a rich native culture".


Next door will be the departure point for the Explorer Canoes...


...which will go from Adventure Isle to Treasure Cove Lagoon...


...by moving around this little isle which separate the two lands.


And that's all for this closer look at Shanghaî Disneyland Adventure Isle, hope you'll enjoyed it and don't miss the Black Friday special offer on the Disneyland Paris book in the article below!
