On January 28, 2018, despite the cold winds, Shanghai Disney still has a lot of people. Ms. Chen and the children lined up for two hours at the gate of the "dwarf minecart", and it turned out that it was their turn. It was found that a group of people came in from the exit and plugged in front of them. She and other tourists were a little annoyed. After coming forward and questioning the service staff, she learned that this is a VIP group, and she can skip the line and play on the go.

Afterwards, Ms. Chen reflected to the Legal Daily that the VIP group was actually a cut-off group, and Shanghai Disney charged a sky-high cut-in fee for this. She believed that this approach violated the legitimate rights and interests of other tourists and violated the service contract.

Zhong Gang, associate professor of East China University of Political Science and Law, said that VIP and ordinary tourists should set up two systems. If there is only one system, they should be clearly informed in the agreement between the two parties. If two parallel contracts are directly crossed, they must be agreed and informed in advance. And informed that those who directly sacrifice the interests of ordinary tourists to meet the special requirements of VIP tourists, and seek benefits, are suspected of contract breach. ^[27]

On June 16, 2017, the Shanghai Disney Resort ushered in its first anniversary. Robert Walter, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company. Iger announced that Shanghai Disneyland, a theme park located in the resort area, has received more than 11 million tourists.

In 2016, Wang Jianlin once vowed, "With Wanda in, Shanghai Disneyland will not be profitable within 20 years." However, Shanghai Disney achieved financial balance in the first operating year, which is the first time in a theme park of the same size. ^[28]

It is worth noting that many foreign large IPs have become dissatisfied after entering the Chinese market. Some insiders revealed to reporters: "Communicating a large IP often takes a lot of time and costs. Investors pursue investment returns and value for money. If the IP side asks investors to increase marketing costs to expand the impact, sometimes it will cause disputes. On the other hand What if the IP is acquired? For example, DreamWorks was acquired by Global and Paramount was acquired by Viacom Group. How can the original IP cooperation continue? In fact, there are not many big IPs that can be used as theme parks. "

So, the gap between domestic theme parks and Disney is really only one big IP? An industry insider who asked not to be named gave an example to the reporter of China Economic Weekly: A theme park investor wanted to build a roller coaster and asked him to make a material steel quote, which made him cried. "Disney has billions of patents in each of its billions of devices. Just researching paint coloring has two Dr. Yale. The scenery is divided into 13 sections. Each section has a team of lawyers to see if it violates other families. The intellectual property rights of the roller coaster may be similar to those of other theme parks, but if you are not a professional, it is difficult to see the efforts behind the Disney team. "

The industry personage believes that the introduction of high-quality theme parks abroad will promote the development of theme parks in China. "After the introduction of theme parks such as Disney and Lego into China, we have trained a lot of talents. When these talents are flowing in the market, Will spread advanced ideas. "

Dongfang Securities analysts pointed out that IP's status as the soul element of theme parks has gradually been recognized by the market, and the importance of technology as an important medium and means of connecting IP and theme parks has often been ignored by the market. In the future, the theme park competition will not only be a contest of the uniqueness and attractiveness of IP, but also the innovative means of implementation driven by technology will also become one of the core competitiveness. The fidelity, immersion and experientiality brought about by high-tech means have a natural fit with the theme park, and it will become an important means for the theme park to be rich in content and attractive in the future.

On January 30, 2019, Xiao Wang, a junior of East China University of Political Science and Law, went to Shanghai Disneyland to play, but before entering the park, Xiao Wang spent more than 40 yuan to buy cookies and other snacks were forced to check by the park staff. And stop it. On March 5, she brought Shanghai Disneyland to court. Regarding the "no food in the park" rule, Shanghai Disney Resort replied on the afternoon of August 11: the provisions on takeaway food and beverages are consistent with most theme parks in China and other Disney destinations in Asia; If visitors bring their own food or drinks, they can enjoy it in the lounge area outside the park. However, the lawyer stated that this provision of Shanghai Disneyland violates the Consumer Rights Protection Law, and Article 26 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law stipulates that the operator shall not make exclusions by means of format clauses, notices, statements, store notices, etc. Or restrict consumer rights, reduce or exempt the operator's responsibility, increase consumer liability, and other provisions, as well as other mandatory legal provisions ^[4] .

On August 15, 2019, during the on-site visit of "Emergency Call", it was discovered that security personnel had tacitly allowed food to enter the park. In response, Disney responded that "perhaps security personnel are out of human consideration." ^[29] On September 6, Shanghai Disney said visitors would bring their own food to the park. ^[5]

In September 2019, the takeaway food policy will be adjusted. In addition to food that needs further processing, thermal storage and pungent odors, tourists will be able to bring food for their own consumption into the park. Alcoholic beverages will still be prohibited from being brought into the park. ^[30]
