Get ready for some serious magic, Busan! Imagine strolling along the waterfront near the stunning Gwangalli Beach and Gwangan Bridge, and stumbling upon Korea's very FIRST official Disney experience! That dream could soon become a reality!
For years, a prime piece of land (a whopping 6,105㎡ right next to Millak Waterside Park!) has been waiting for its moment to shine. After 27 long years and a few false starts, this spot is finally poised for an EPIC transformation into a major cultural and entertainment hub! This isn't just any project; it's set to supercharge Busan's already awesome appeal as a must-visit destination, and we cannot wait!
Big news dropped on March 19th when the Busan City Council gave the green light to sell the former Cheonggu Mart site in Millak-dong. And guess who's leading the charge? A proposal to build a dazzling FIVE-STORY Disney experience facility packed with HUGE media art exhibitions and super fun interactive entertainment featuring all those global stories we love!
Busan City has even adjusted the land rules to make this magic happen, designating it for cultural gatherings (70%) and some retail (30%). The city is gearing up for a public bidding process, and you bet Disney's incredible concept is a major frontrunner! The official land appraisal is kicking off soon, with bidding expected in May or June. It's going to be a competitive race to see who gets to bring this vision to life!
But hold on, there are some important rules in place to make sure everything goes smoothly. The City Council has made it clear that whoever wins the bid has to keep the land use as planned for at least 10 years, make sure there's plenty of parking, and stick to the contract terms. This is all about creating something amazing and sustainable for Busan!
The news of a potential Disney-themed experience in Busan has ignited excitement among Disney enthusiasts and the Korean public alike. For many, this represents a long-awaited opportunity to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Disney without having to travel overseas. The prospect of a unique entertainment destination blending global IPs with Korea's vibrant culture is generating considerable buzz and anticipation for what could become a landmark attraction in the years to come!
