Guests of the Shanghai Disney Resort in China were recently treated to a very special performance of the popular Lion King Musical. This performance marked the first-ever Mandarin production of the Broadway musical and was held to kick off the “Celebrate Earth” series at the Shanghai property. The event was held to raise funds for wildlife protection awareness in China and also honored the story about the “Circle of Life.”
This event marks the first Earth Month for newest Disney resort after its opening, and Disney teamed up with the China Wildlife Conservation Association and WildAid, an environmental non-profit, to bring you plenty of fun ways to celebrate and support this great big beautiful world of ours.
Disney’s new Join the Herd wildlife conservation campaign focuses on the protection of elephants and other endangered wild animals, and it all starts with a stunning photography exhibition at Walt Disney Grand Theatre. You can step into the natural habitat of animals that inspired The Lion King’s lovable characters and even make an ivory free pledge on a special wall installed at the theatre.
A “Celebrate Earth” fair will be set up at Disneytown and Shanghai Disneyland, including a host of environmentally-friendly themed games for kids. Everyone is invited to come out and learn how small changes make a big impact on the world around us. Don’t forget to take a stroll around Wishing Star Park during your visit and enjoy all the beauty nature has to offer.
Shanghai Disney Resort continues Disney’s longstanding commitment to engage communities in the protection of wildlife and their habitats. Since 1995, the Disney Conservation Fund has been working to protect wildlife, including efforts to reverse the decline of elephants, with more than $2.3 million in support to elephant projects in 25 countries across Asia and Africa.
