Shanghai Disneyland Release Etiquette Guide For Visitors: Uncivilized Behaviour Banned!

Shanghai Disneyland's official launch is set on June 16 in the city's Pudong district and the government has released an etiquette guide for tourists and locals who are planning to see Mickey Mouse and the gang.

Following the uncivilized behavior of the locals during the park's trial opening this month, the officials of China deemed it necessary to create six rules to make sure that the visitors will behave while in the park, South China Morning Post reported.

Tourists are warned against littering, defacing public facilities, vandalizing, cutting in line, damaging the landscape and even lying down on the ground. Proper decorum needs to be observed while in the $5.5 billion park.

Even prior to its opening, the theme park had its fair share of drama when visitors around Disneytown trampled plants, carved graffiti on lamp posts, picked flowers, left rubbish everywhere and some even urinate around the area. These people are merely peering into the buildings that aren't open yet, Mail Online reported.

Apart from that, scalpers increased the ticket prices when it was on sale in late March. Curious visitors also caused damage to the park's metro station that was opened in late April.

About 17 million crowds are expected to visit the park every year. With that, emergency crowd control drills will be conducted in order to address potential risks in the area, China Daily reported.

Shanghai Disney Resort is a joint venture between Disney and China's Shanghai Shendi Group. The park incorporates the traditional Shikumen-style architecture of China. It even re-imagined Chinese zodiac signs into 12 Disney and Pixar characters. This Disney theme park is the first to open in the last 10 years which is bigger than the Disneyland in HongKong and Tokyo.
