Shanghai Disney Resort announced that a new housing community for Cast Members is under construction.
New Shanghai Disney Resort Cast Member Housing
The multifunctional residential community is the first development project in the south parcel of Shanghai International Resort. Construction began last year and is currently on schedule. Shanghai Disney Resort did not announce an opening timeframe.
This is the latest example of the continuous development and expansion of Shanghai Disney Resort and supporting facilities, and is one of the many ways in which Shanghai Disney Resort continues to invest in its cast experiences. As part of the resort’s long-term commitment to providing quality care and benefits to cast members, the new community is expected to provide convenient, high quality, and affordable accommodation options to support its frontline cast members and interns who create the memorable Disney magic experienced by guests at Shanghai Disney Resort.
