HKDL CEO, Andrew Kam "we'll complete the expansion as soon as possible"

Mr. Kam says he is not worried about the New Disney Park at Shanghai cannibalizing the attendance numbers at HKDL. "We'll take an international positioning strategy for HKDL as the world's local theme park".

As far as HKDL's expansion is concerned, originally scheduled to be completed in 2014, the same year for the opening of Disney Shanghai. He said they would speed up the design, start early and complete the expansion earlier. He added that HKDL is only in operation for four years, has a lot of room for growth, and land has been set aside for further expansion.

He added that Hong Kong has been experiencing tremendous growth in Tourism, over the past 10 years, visitors number almost doubles, increased from 10 million plus per year to nearly 30 million per year, he is very confident with the development of Hong Kong Tourism.

That's a positive spin on things. The good thing about Shanghai Disney opening is that its speeding up development of Hong Kong Disney.

That's good news!
I also like the fact they talk about "He added that HKDL is only in operation for four years, has a lot of room for growth, and land has been set aside for further expansion"
I only hope that with all the speeding up they don't cut down there final products.
