Hong Kong Disneyland will open in about a year. Disney is taking into account Chinese sensibilities when designing the park:

"We know if we're too U.S.-centric, the products won't be too relevant to those markets," Mr. Iger said. "That's particularly true as it relates to Hong Kong Disneyland."

Esther Wong, a spokeswoman for Hong Kong Disneyland, said that the company had rotated the orientation of the entire park by several degrees in the early design phase after consulting a master of feng shui, a Chinese practice of seeking harmony with spiritual forces. "This is essentially an American product, but it's a question of how we tailor it to an audience in this part of the world," Ms. Wong said. "Disney is an American brand, and our guests, our potential guests, believe in this product.""
