Shanghai Disneyland approved by China

China is getting a Disneyland. The Chinese government has approved plans for a Shanghai Disneyland.

The Shanghai Disneyland will be Disney's first theme park in mainland China, according to the BBC. The corporation has been planning its China Disneyland for more than a decade.

Disney had the approval from Shanghai's local government to develop the park, but needed consent from Beijing. The approval from central government was believed to be the biggest hurdle for Disney.

The final details for the new Disneyland have not yet been announced. However, Disney hopes to open its Shanghai park by 2014.
