Fans at Disneyland last night were excited about the announcement of the Chinese Government last night on November 4th in Shanghai and a day earlier in Anaheim. The final approval was given from the government officials today in Beijing to allow a park to be built by the Walt Disney Corporation. According to the BBC and other major news sources, the Disney Park in Shanghai is well on its way to becoming reality as it was approved last night.

The initial step for the latest edition to the Disney Resort family, this Disney park has been in the planning stages for over 10 years and the projection date of completion is 2014. At the site where the Walt Disney Corporation plans to build the resort is a field just waiting for a little Pixie dust and some bulldozers.

Half way around the world, in Anaheim California, at the original Disneyland Resort, guests on Tuesday night were delighted to hear about the news of a new park being added to the Disney Resorts already in operation.

'Everyone should be excited about this.' said Christina Neilson. 'There were rumors at D23 this was the next Disney Resort and well, I am glad to see this happen. I've been to Disney Tokyo and I would go to Shanghai.' Neilson isn't alone in wanting to see other Disney parks, guests are buzzing about the possibilities of a new Disney Park hankering to get the opportunity to visit even if it is a few years off.

While everyone is cautiously optimistic about the plans for the new Shanghai Disneyland park,  there is one last step for the deal to be complete, a final agreement needs to be drawn up and signed. This should be accomplished in the next few weeks.
