Shanghai Disneyland just pulled off an incredible New Year’s Eve! They said goodbye to 2025 and welcomed 2026 with an unforgettable bang, kicking off a HUGE year for the resort.
The “Ignite the New Year” spectacular dazzled guests, lighting up the sky with fireworks forming “2026”. But that wasn’t all! The big surprise? The first-ever reveal of the resort’s 10th Anniversary logo!
Imagine seeing that projected right onto the majestic Enchanted Storybook Castle – what a way to start a year-long celebration!
2025 was already huge for Shanghai! The park welcomed its 100 millionth guest and even hosted the Zootopia 2 Global Celebration. New experiences and expansions kept coming all year long.
So, if 2025 was this good, just imagine what the 10th anniversary has in store! Expect more magic, more surprises, and a year truly in Disney style.
The “Ignite the New Year” show is a Shanghai Disney Resort tradition, and this year, it truly outdid itself. Guests soaked in the magic of fireworks, incredible projections, and light shows synced to classic Disney tunes.
When those “2026” fireworks exploded in the sky, you could feel the excitement building! Mickey, Minnie, and their pals even dressed up in special New Year’s outfits on Mickey Avenue, welcoming everyone to join the party.
The highlight of the show? It ended with the new “10th Birthday” logo projected right onto the castle! Pure magic. Then, a massive fireworks finale painted the sky with dazzling colors.
This stunning gold and blue logo gives us a peek at what’s coming in 2026. You see the number “10” beautifully placed over a golden silhouette of the Enchanted Storybook Castle. Add in a plus sign and some wishing stars, and you have a symbol that captures all the millions of dreams that have come true here over the past nine years.
That little plus sign “+” in the logo? It’s genius! It’s not just the Chinese character for “ten” (十), it also promises “plus more” magic and experiences for everyone.
And the tagline, “With You, It’s Magic+”, truly drives it home. That “+” is a nod to all of us – the fans, the guests, everyone who’s been part of this journey and will continue to share the magic. This logo and tagline are more than just symbols; they’re an invitation to join the biggest celebration yet!
So, what a year 2025 was! Shanghai Disney Resort hit some incredible milestones and kept expanding, all building up to this massive tenth anniversary. Remember, they welcomed their 100 millionth guest in October – that’s a huge number in just over nine years!
And get this: the park ranked fifth globally for attendance and number one in China for 2024, with a record-breaking 14.7 million visitors. Those numbers show just how much people love the magic and stories Disney brings to life there!
Since opening, the resort has constantly found new, creative ways to bring Disney stories and characters to life. And with Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia 2 on the horizon, we know there’s always something new and exciting waiting for guests.
Get ready for an epic 2026, because Shanghai Disney Resort is just getting started!
