Thank you, Instagram, for letting us creep on the new park.

An Inside Look At The New Shanghai Disney Resort

This Thursday, a new place of magic and wonder will officially open its doors to tourists and citizens of Shanghai, China. That’s right, a new Disney resort has finally reached completion and will make its debut June 16.

The park, covering over 900 acres, has been accepting visitors while in the park's trial operations stage. And thanks to social medias like Instagram, those that are interested in the new resort have been able to get a sneak peek of what the park looks like.

It has been said that somewhere around 10,000 cast members have been hired to work at the park, which may sound like a lot of people, but remember that the park covers 963 acres.

Of the many new and old additions that will carry on the Disney tradition, the biggest and tallest castle to ever grace a Disney park will take the stage.

But one thing that differs this park from some of the other American and International Disney parks is that China holds a greater stake in the park than Disney, which was an important condition during the negotiations between Disney and China. Because of this, the project coined a phrase that the park needed to be “authenticly Disney, distinctly Chinese.”

Also exciting about the Shanghai location is that it has lands, rides and shows dedicated to newer Disney films, unlike the original Disneyland park in California, which caters to many of Walt Disney’s original fantasies. There’s even a whole area dedicated to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.

There will also be some of the original lands, like Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.

And there’s even a part of the park that has an “Alice in Wonderland” theme.

But we can’t forget to mention the food. Lots of the confections and treats at the park have a familiar shape that we’ve all come to love and recognize: Mickey's ears.

While we can’t fully understand the magnitude of magic that resides at the park by creeping on Instagram, we can get a good idea. And from what it looks like, the new Shanghai Disney Resort looks like it will be nothing but successful.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
