Watch the magical Shanghai Disney opening ceremony

Complete with famous faces, an orchestra, dancing, singing and a beautifully lit castle, the opening of Shanghai Disney was just as opulent as you could expect.
It appeared to be good news for Disney, after their Florida park made headlines when a two-year-old boy was killed killed when he was dragged into a lagoon by an alligator.
In Shanghai, however, you wouldn't have imagined this tragedy took place in a Disney park - there was magic in the air as the massive castle lit up, and the front of it turned into a Cinderella pumpkin carriage.
Out stepped not a Disney princess but the Chairman and CEO of Walt Disney, Bob Iger.
He spoke about the music played by the orchestra, which was specially composed for the park, and his vision for the site, which took 17 years to build.
Iger said: "Music has always been an essential part of Disney storytelling, touching hearts and lifting spirits in so many profound ways.
"We wanted the music to blend the best of China and the best of Disney to create a powerful expression of shared dreams".
When building the park, he said he "allowed myself to dream big, envisioning a destination that would redefine our limits of creativity and imagination.

The opening of Disneyland Park in Shanghai certainly makes me happy. We can have more choice when we want to take trip to Disneyland. The benefit of Shanghai Disneyland is there would not be language barrier. Although it must be different from Tokyo Disneyland, it still can attract lots of fans of Disney.
