SHANGHAI Disney Resort will hold the world’s longest parade everyday, its management said yesterday.

　　The daytime parade has been named, “Mickey’s Storybook Express.” It will stretch 1.16 square kilometer after the Shanghai Disneyland opens in the spring of 2016. The parade will be led by a whimsical locomotive, followed by a line of train cars carrying characters, story and music from a favorite Disney film.

　　The Shanghai Disneyland Band along the Mickey Avenue, one of the six theme parks at the resort, will be the other highlight.

　　The Disney musical, The Lion King, will come to Disneytown for its global premiere in Mandarin. It will be performed at the 1,200-seat Walt Disney Grand Theatre, which is outside the gates of Shanghai Disneyland. It however requires a separate ticket.

　　The stage shows “Eye of the Storm: Captain Jack’s Stunt Spectacular” will be held at Treasure Cove, another theme park. “Tarzan: Call of the Jungle” at the Adventure Isle will tell the story about a boy who is raised by apes and becomes the King of the Jungle.
