Just an FYI.
Disney already has theme parks in Chiba, Japan; Marne-la-Vallée, France; Lantau Island, Hong Kong; and Pudong, Shanghai, China.
So to me, this really isn’t surprising.
I’ve been to the Tokyo Disneyland. Strongly recommended if only for the humor value. The “barbecue” sauce on the burgers was a 1:1 mix of soy sauce and ketchup. Had a great time.
