“The flagship Disney store will feature the largest and most diverse collection of Disney products by local and international designers,” said Disney China EVP & MD Stanley Cheung.

Visitors will also be able to track the progress of the currently under-construction Shanghai Disney Resort, which is scheduled to open in the first half of 2016.
