Global debut highlight: Steamboat Mickey Fountain
This fountain is a tribute to Walt Disney’s 1928 animated film “Steamboat Willie,” which introduced Mickey to the world. It’s truly commemorative and the first of its kind globally — it’s bound to be a popular photo spot.
2. Gardens of Imagination
Ideal for: garden lovers and girls who love all things whimsical.
As the name suggests, this area includes seven differently themed gardens — “Garden of the Twelve Friends,” “Garden of Harmony,” “Garden of Romance,” “Garden of the Mystical Garden,” “Garden of the Fantastic Feathers,” “Symphony Garden,” and “Fairytale Castle Garden” — guaranteed to captivate visitors. And the Fantasyland Carousel and Dumbo the Flying Elephant in the area will definitely immerse dreamy girls in a romantic atmosphere.
Global debut highlight: Garden of the Twelve Friends
This is a bit of Disney localization. The idea for the Garden of the Twelve Friends comes from China’s twelve zodiac animals. It’s said that classic Disney characters will be transformed into the twelve zodiac signs here. Yep, it’s sure to be another photo hotspot.

Unprecedented storylines and original characters will make this brand-new land a standout feature of Shanghai Disneyland.

Global debut highlight: Pirates of the Caribbean – Battle for the Sunken Treasure
