SHANGHAI - The Shanghai Disney Resort has received more than one million visitors since opening on June 16.
"We've welcomed well over a million guests since we officially opened the gates on June 16 and their reaction has been everything we'd hoped for and more,"said Robert Iger, chairman and chief executive officer of Walt Disney Company.
"Ticket sales are strong. People are staying in the park longer than we ever imagined they would," he said, adding that hotel occupancy is holding steady at 95 percent.
"It's obviously far too early to identify trends and make forecasts or projections, but Shanghai Disney Resort is clearly off to a strong start," he said.
