With six, you get egg roll. Disney is hoping that the Chinese government will want to roll with its plan to build its sixth theme park resort in Shanghai. The Mouse confirmed that it is working with Shanghai officials on a joint application to pursue the project. According to the Wall Street Journal, the proposed $3.59-billion project would include a theme park, a hotel, and a shopping complex. If approved, the resort would be built near Shanghai's Pudong International Airport and could open as early as 2014 according to the paper. Given the price tag and the negative feedback Disney has received about the dearth of attractions at its relatively small Hong Kong park, it's likely that a Shanghai Disneyland would be closer in size to the original Disneyland Park in California.
