However, park operations have stabilized at this point and the Zootopia land will finally be able to debut in late 2023.Īs a significant milestone before the new land officially welcomes its first guests, Shanghai Disney Resort just held its Creative Preview for the new land, during which leadership unveiled highlights of the Zootopia-themed land. That also caused Shanghai Disneyland to close and reopen multiple times in the last three years. Like so much else, it was significantly delayed due to the pandemic.

Originally, the Zootopia land modeled after Savanna Central was intended to open by the end of 2021. When it opens later this year, the Zootopia-themed area will become the eighth themed land at the world’s newest Disney theme park, and the first-ever ( but probably not last-ever…) Zootopia land at any Disney park worldwide. The new Zootopia themed land will also invite guests to fully immerse themselves in the mammalian metropolis of Zootopia, “where anyone can be anything,” and come along on an adventure with Judy and Nick, the lead characters from the hit animated movie. ( So pay attention, Walt Disney World fans!) Here’s everything we know about the blockbuster area featuring Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, plus commentary about this expansion potentially coming to Animal Kingdom. The world’s first Zootopia land will open in late 2023 in Shanghai Disneyland, featuring the new trackless ride dark ride, Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, as well as entertainment, dining, and shopping.
