The official opening of Disney Shanghai was on June 16, 2016. It actually opened early a couple months before letting special guests start visiting on March 7th and then locals in Shanghai to visit the park even with many of the rides not ready on March 28th. I would visit on October 3, 2016, so it was during the first year it was open. I am doing this as a fundraiser for my education (paying off my student loans) and 'One Million Words' which brings school books and supplies to orphanages and low-income schools in Asia. The book cost money, but you can view the pictures made into a movie on YouTube for free as well as some videos that I filmed in 'Disney Shanghai' and later where I wrote my notes listening to 'The Friction Band' at 'The Office Bar' in Shanghai that evening. One Million Words is a fully volunteer organization where even the primary leader, Dr. Robert Lockyer isn't paid. He has also gotten volunteers to help clean up parts of LLama Island in Hong Kong for free and pulling ghost nets out of the harbor. We try alternative means to raise funds.
