Disney Yas Island theme park resort marks a historic milestone in Abu Dhabi, blending storytelling with Arabian culture. This called for a celebration.
History was made recently as Miral and The Walt Disney Company celebrated the official announcement of the Middle East and Africa’s first-ever Disney theme park resort destination with a record-breaking 9,000 drone show and fireworks spectacle. The show, which took place at Yas Links, also featured a live performance of world-renowned pianist Lang Lang alongside iconic Emirati singer Rashed Alnuaimi, queen of the West End, Kerry Ellis and classical sensation, Sonya Balsara.
This new Disney Yas Island theme park intends to be ready by 2030, before the Universal theme park project in the UK opens. However, only time will tell if that happens.
This glittering celebration of this announcement also attracted global celebrities including Tyrese Gibson, Naomi Campbell, Nancy Ajram, Chiara Ferragni, and Ed Westwick, dignitaries, entertainment industry leaders and media powerhouses, all converging to witness the unveiling of what promises to be a game-changing chapter in Disney’s legacy, and the evolution of Yas Island as a global destination for entertainment.
