The latest exciting addition to Shanghai Disney Resort, Zootopia Land, has officially announced its opening date. The vibrant and lifelike metropolis, inspired by the 2016 Walt Disney Animation Studios feature, is set to welcome guests from December 20, 2023.
Immerse Yourself in the World of Zootopia
Zootopia Land is designed to fully immerse guests into the world of Zootopia, complete with a cityscape filled with mammals of all kinds. The resort’s Weibo page teases an inviting message from Judy, Nick, and their Zootopia friends, who are ready to greet everyone visiting this unique new land.
An Attraction not to Miss: Zootopia: Hot Pursuit
At the heart of Zootopia Land lies the Zootopia: Hot Pursuit attraction. Here, guests will step into the shoes of a rookie police officer at the Zootopia Police Department (ZPD). The ride is set after the events of the Zootopia movie, with the city’s animal inhabitants preparing for a grand Zootopia Day concert featuring Gazelle.
Character Interactions + Meet & Greets
The park promises delightful interactions with beloved characters from the Zootopia movie. Visitors can look forward to meeting Fru Fru, Mr. Big, Koslove the polar bear, Flash the sloth, Yax the yak, Duke Weaselton the weasel, and the Hopps family. These characters will engage with guests from the windows of Zootopia buildings, creating a truly immersive experience.
Capture the Moment at Zootopia Recruitment Station
For a memorable keepsake, guests can get their photo taken with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde at the Zootopia Recruitment Station. This is a perfect opportunity for fans to capture their experience in this vibrant city of mammals.
Experience Exceptional Zootopia-Inspired Cuisine
Prepare for a culinary safari through the world of Zootopia, with an array of delectable desserts, snacks, and beverages at your disposal. Make sure to pay a visit to Jumbeaux’s Café, a welcoming spot for creatures of all sizes, complete with a lower take-out window designed specifically for its tiniest patrons, integrated seamlessly into the original elephant-sized door.
Indulge in a paw-shaped popsicle, a delightful treat inspired by Nick Wilde’s creations in the movie. You can also enjoy the Chocolate Marshmallow, a playful reimagining of the oversized Jumbo-pop that Nick cunningly convinces Judy to purchase, but in the form of a raspberry-flavored marshmallow. For those seeking a smaller indulgence, there’s a mini chocolate version available as well.
Officer Clawhauser’s beloved donuts will be served in two sizes, catering to animals big and small. Upon the grand opening of Zootopia Land, guests will be treated to menu items straight from the movie itself. This includes Gideon Grey’s Disney Zootopia Blueberry Pie, a carrot-shaped lollipop reminiscent of Bunnyburrow, and a host of other tantalizing treats awaiting discovery.
