Shanghai Disneyland Opens, but Will the Chinese Come? Exported Disneylands have not always started out strong. Will the Magic Kingdom in Shanghai be a different story? The original Disneyland in Anaheim covers 100 acres. Disneyland in Shanghai spreads over 1000. It's the biggest Magic Kingdom of all, with 30 attractions -- more than half of which are original to the new location. David Koenig, author of five books about the Disney Company, including Mouse Tales: A Behind the Ears Look at Disneyland , gives us a preview.
