Construction is underway for Hong Kong Disneyland, on Lantau Island. The new park is scheduled to welcome its first guests in 2005 or 2006. In early 2002, the preview center opened in Kowloon, just minutes from the construction site, to enable interested people to follow the project as construction proceeds.

In creating Disney’s newest theme park, Walt Disney Imagineers are revisiting their roots – even studying original drawings of the Disneyland castle – while incorporating new technological developments from Disney parks worldwide. Hong Kong Disneyland will offer a mix of classic Disney attractions and styling with innovative new designs and adventures that will bring the enchantment of Walt Disney’s original theme park to China. Set against the backdrop of a lush mountain range overlooking the South China Sea, the resort also will feature two hotels – the elegant Victorian-themed Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel and the Art Deco-inspired Hollywood Hotel.

The Hong Kong Disneyland team is concentrating on operational planning, local hiring and preliminary marketing and sales plans.The team also has been an active participant in community events, such as the Chinese New Year Parade, where Mickey Mouse entertained thousands.
