Yas Island <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Located on the shores of Abu Dhabi \u2013 just 20 minutes from downtown Abu Dhabi and 50 minutes from Dubai, the 10.5 square mile Yas Island already offers vacationing families an extraordinary range of experiences. They include award-winning theme parks such as Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, and Warner Bros. World, as well as attractions such as Yas Marina Circuit, home to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yas Island<\/a> boasts Abu Dhabi\u2019s largest mall, plus Yas Marina, Yas Bay Waterfront, Yas Links golf course, the Middle East\u2019s largest indoor entertainment venue, Etihad Arena, with a year-round line-up of spectacular musical, entertainment and family events. Visitors can choose among ten incredible hotels, including a W Hotel and The WB Abu Dhabi, the world\u2019s first Warner Bros. themed hotel, not to mention 165 dining experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE is home to the largest global airline hub in the world, and is located within a four-hour flight of one-third of the world\u2019s population, connecting travelers from the Middle East and Africa, India, Asia, Europe, and beyond. 120 million passengers travel through Abu Dhabi and Dubai each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney, Abu Dhabi-style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new Disney theme park will be at the center of one of the world\u2019s most popular and fastest-growing travel destinations. And it will reflect classic Disney fantasy with Middle Eastern influences and the UAE\u2019s signature spectacular scale and passion for landmark, innovative architecture and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney\u2019s CEO, Bob Iger, says the new Disney \u201cwill rise from this land in spectacular fashion, blending contemporary architecture with cutting-edge technology to offer guests deeply immersive entertainment experiences in unique and modern ways. Disneyland Abu Dhabi will be authentically Disney and distinctly Emirati \u2013 an oasis of extraordinary Disney entertainment at this crossroads of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no opening date has been given, upon completion, the new theme park resort will offer signature Disney entertainment, themed accommodations, unique dining and retail experiences, and storytelling in a way that celebrates both the heritage of Disney and the futuristic and cultural essence of Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new resort will be built and operated by the company that developed many of Yas Island\u2019s existing family attractions. Disney and its legendary Imagineers will lead creative design and operational oversight to provide a full Disney experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 7th Disney park and the first in the Middle East joins 6 other Disney resorts \u2013 can you name them all? Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California; Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida; Tokyo Disneyland Resort; Disneyland Paris; Hong Kong Disneyland Resort; and Shanghai Disney Resort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
