Enchanted Storybook Castle
Being the largest Disney castle ever constructed, Enchanted Storybook Castle houses a variety of functional facilities including a walk-through attraction, a restaurant, a makeover boutique, an elaborate stage, and a boat ride that goes underneath the main level.

In the main hall of the castle are mosaics depicting four Disney Princesses, representing the four seasons. With The Princess and the Frog representing Spring, Tangled representing Summer, Brave for Autumn, and Frozen for Winter. In the center, a golden chandelier cascades down from a regal blue ceiling shaped like a star that resembles a starry night sky. This is also the first castle in a Disney Park to have multiple main entrances from different sides, with elaborate walkways that all meet at the center rotunda.

Contrary to Sleeping Beauty Castle, inspired by Germany’s medieval Neuschwanstein Castle; Cinderella Castle, which borrowed styles from gothic French architecture; and Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant’s whimsical curves and slender storybook figure; Enchanted Storybook Castle’s overall look was inspired by Renaissance architecture. However, its design features numerous details and elements previously used in precedent Disney castles. Designers also incorporated Chinese stylings and decorative elements to appeal to the country’s audience. For example, the castle is topped with a golden peony, a flower popular among Chinese traditions. Besides the peony, the castle also bears a great amount of symbolic elements illustrate the partnership and the blending between Disney and Chinese culture.

During the designing phase, modern technologies such as 3D computer modeling had to be applied to design and break down the constructional steps for the team. Adding to its gigantic size, the castle is actually built on an elevated platform and can be seen miles away from the park. The platform itself is in fact a gigantic building that houses the boat ride that goes underneath the castle as well as behind the scene facilities.

Shanghai Disneyland is also the very first Disney Park to reinvent the logistics around the castle during the nightly fireworks shows. The launchpads for pyrotechnics from the castle are built to the front, while castle itself is isolated from the rest of Fantasyland’s attractions, thus enabling all the rides in the back area that would normally close down in other Disney Parks for the fireworks shows remain fully operational.

魔法故事書城堡
作為有史以來規模最大的迪士尼城堡，魔法故事城堡擁有各種功能設施，包括步行式景點，餐廳，改裝精品店，精緻的舞台以及位於主層下的乘船遊覽。

在城堡的正殿中，有四個迪斯尼公主，代表著四季的馬賽克。 “公主與青蛙”代表“春”，“夏，秋，冬”。在中心，一個金色的吊燈從一個富麗的藍色天花板上下來，像星星般的夜空。這也是迪斯尼樂園第一座從不同側面擁有多個主要入口的城堡，精心設計的人行道在圓形大廳的中心相遇。

與被德國中世紀的新天鵝堡（Neuschwanstein Castle）靈感啟發的睡美人城堡（Sleeping Beauty Castle）相比，灰姑娘城堡，從哥特式法式建築中藉用風格;和Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant的異想天開的曲線和纖細的故事書形象;魔法故事書城堡的整體外觀受到文藝復興時期建築的啟發。然而，其設計具有迪斯尼城堡先前所使用的眾多細節和元素。設計師還融入了中國的風格和裝飾元素，以吸引全國觀眾。例如，城堡上面擺放著一朵盛產中國傳統花朵的金牡丹。除了牡丹之外，城堡裡還蘊含著大量的象徵元素，說明了迪斯尼與中國文化的合作與融合。

在設計階段，必須應用3D計算機建模等現代技術來設計和打破團隊的構建步驟。再加上它的巨大的尺寸，城堡實際上建在一個高架平台上，可以從公園看到數英里。這個平臺本身實際上是一座巨大的建築物，其中包括城堡下面的船隻以及現場設施的後面。

上海迪士尼樂園也是第一個迪斯尼公園，在夜間煙花表演期間重新創造城堡周圍的物流。城堡煙火的發射台建在前面，而城堡本身與幻想世界的其他景點是隔離的，從而使後面區域的所有遊樂設施都能正常關閉，其他迪斯尼公園的煙花表演仍然可以正常運行。

The Chinese government approved the resort on November 4, 2009.The Walt Disney Company announced on November 5, 2010 that they had signed an agreement with Shanghai Shendi Group to build the resort and park in Shanghai, with a planned opening in 2015. On April 7, 2011, groundbreaking began at the Shanghai Disneyland Resort site.On June 29, 2013, construction on the Enchanted Storybook Castle began.

A satellite view of the resort in 2015.
On March 8, 2013, the company announced that the park would open in late 2015.[6] On February 2, 2015, the opening date was pushed back to early 2016.[10] On January 12, 2016, the park’s opening date was announced as June 16, 2016.[2] According to some reports, this was due to construction delays and quality control problems. The final opening date is June 16, 2016.

The cost was initially estimated at 24.5 billion yuan (USD $3.7 billion) for the theme park and an additional 4.5 billion yuan (USD $700 million).[6] This rose to around USD $5.5 billion before delays,which was due in part to additions to the number of attractions open to the public on opening day, which added USD $800 million to the cost.The added cost doesn’t take into account lost revenue from the lost admissions fees.

In addition to the attractions and two hotels, the company is building a high-speed rail system to get visitors to and from the site.

Disney owns 43% of the property while the state-controlled Shanghai Shendi Group owns the remaining 57%.

On May 7, 2016, Shanghai Disneyland Park had started soft openings.

Disney aired the live broadcast of the grand opening show on its Facebook page on the night of June 15, 2016. Bob Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company was joined by nearly 3,000 distinguished guests and celebrities for a showcase of choreography, acrobatics, costumes and technology in grand scale, with dazzling lights, Disney music, pageantry, special effects and fireworks. The show featured world-renowned pianist Lang Lang who performed a custom arrangement of the musical sensation “Let It Go” (from Disney’s “Frozen“) and China’s television and movie superstar Sun Li who took center stage. The historic event included the debut of an original song, “Ignite the Dreamer Within,” written especially for the grand opening of Shanghai Disneyland. Acclaimed composer and conductor Tan Dun, widely known for his stirring scores for the films “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “Hero,” led the Shanghai Symphony with an original composition of the new song.

Ticket pricing
Tickets for the park went on sale on March 28, 2016, with a two-tiered pricing scheme.[16] On most days, one day adult tickets will be CN¥ 370, while child and elderly one day tickets will cost CN¥ 280, roughly 20% cheaper than Hong Kong Disneyland (which charges HK$539 for a one-day adult ticket).During busier periods, including the first two weeks of the park’s operation, adult one day tickets will cost CN¥ 499, while child and elderly tickets will cost CN¥ 375. The park will be the first Disney park to feature tiered pricing.

According to the International Business Times (IBT), the US dollar equivalent of park ticket pricing will cost about $75 for adults and $60 for children on holidays and weekends, and around $60 for adults and $45 for children on weekdays. IBT notes that “a two-day weekend ticket for two adults and one child comes close to China’s average urban monthly wage.”

Opening day tickets sold out in a few hours after going on sale at midnight, March 28. However, more tickets were put on sale several days before the official opening day.
