A survey studying the attraction of Shanghai Disneyland, which is scheduled to open on June 16 , has shown that people above 45 years old are the most interested in visiting the amusement park.

Conducted by Shanghai Consumer Council, the survey randomly interviewed 1,880 local respondents and received 3,500 valid responses from residents in other cities and towns.

The survey found that more than 60 percent of the respondents older than 45 years showed strong enthusiasm to visit Shanghai Disneyland (DIS, quote). Meanwhile people with lower incomes were more willing to pay a visit to the first Disney theme park on the Chinese mainland (FXI, quote).

About 40 percent of Shanghai residents said they will definitely visit the Disneyland slated to open soon, and 63 percent of residents living outside Shanghai have made up their minds to pay a visit with 13 percent of them having already booked their tickets, costing 370 yuan (US$56.8) a person during the week.

Nearly 70 percent of local consumers plan to visit the Disneyland with their spouses or children, and 70 percent visitors from other places intended to take the trips with their spouses, children and parents.

A calculation of the survey shows that tourists from other parts of the country may spend about 4,215 yuan on average per person during their stay in Shanghai. And the expenditure does not include the cost of round trip travel fees.
