Disneyland new on Yas Island: A dream come true by 2030!

A new chapter in theme park history opens as The Walt Disney Company today announced the construction of a new Disneyland theme park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. This exciting development represents the seventh Disney theme park in the world and promises an outstanding combination of Disney stories, characters and attractions that will harmonize with the culture and architecture of Abu Dhabi. The partnership between Disney and Miral, a leading provider of leisure and tourism projects in the region, will form the basis for this innovative venture. [Derwesten] reports that there are already six existing Disneyland locations, including the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim and the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

Walt Disney Company CEO Robert A. Iger shared that the new facility will feature not only modern architecture but also the latest technology. This is intended to offer guests unique and contemporary entertainment experiences. Specific details about the planned attractions or a closer opening date have not yet been published. However, there are already statements about a “vision of Yas Island for the next five years,” which suggests ambitious planning.

The design and vision of the park

The resort will open on Yas Island, a major entertainment and leisure destination. Miral will handle construction and full development of the resort, while Disney will be responsible for creative design and operational oversight. The aim is to create a world-class experience that will feature interactive and advanced attractions, and the resort will be considered the most advanced and interactive destination in the Disney portfolio list.

Abu Dhabi has established itself as a major gateway to tourism, which is reflected not least in the around 120 million passengers who travel through Abu Dhabi and Dubai every year. This excellent geographical location, within a four-hour flight of a third of the world's population, could bring significant visitor numbers to the new Disneyland.

Economic stimulus for Abu Dhabi

The planned Disneyland on Yas Island will not only expand entertainment options, but also play an important role in Abu Dhabi's economic development. The project is expected to drive growth in the region and further cement the island as a global entertainment destination. The offering will also include accommodations, dining experiences and retail options, all tailored to specific Disney themes.

According to current reports, the new park could potentially open by 2030 at the latest. The anticipation is already high, and Disney fans will just have to wait and see what magical experiences await them on Yas Island in the future. [Disney] emphasizes that the resort visit should not only be fun for families, but also a cultural experience that reflects Abu Dhabi's heritage.
