Donald Trump Comments on Disney's New Abu Dhabi Theme Park
- Disney announced on May 7, 2025, plans to build its seventh global theme park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
- The park will take at least six years to open due to required design and construction phases, and Disney is partnering with local company Miral for funding and operation.
- The resort will blend Disney storytelling with Emirati cultural elements and feature innovative architecture, a modern castle, hotels, shops, rides, and restaurants.
- Following the announcement, Disney's stock rose over 10%, and President Donald Trump praised the project as "incredible" during a May 16 business roundtable in Abu Dhabi.
- Disney’s expansion into the Middle East represents a significant growth opportunity amid major regional investment agreements, but the company faces the challenge of aligning with local cultural norms and addressing criticisms related to social and ethical issues in Abu Dhabi while establishing a lasting presence.
