Under the plan, three new theme areas will be added. The world's smallest Disneyland theme park will grow by nearly a quarter. More than 30 entertainment facilities will also be added.

Disney says despite the global financial crisis, the number of visitors is stable, although individual consumption has dropped. Disneyland has boosted the Special Administrative Region's economy by one billion Hong Kong dollars in the past three years. It has raised the local per capita GDP by 0.2 percent each year.
