There are risks: Disney still has a far way before Mickeys famous ears are recognizable by every child and parent in China. Disney CEO Robert Iger addressed the issue during the companys 4th quarter call on Nov 7, 2013. He cited the synergies of the Disney empire in addressing these risks: LEVERAGING MEDIA In CHINA: Relying more on its mobile and online platforms than TV due to national restrictions. The company is planning to increase marketing once park attractions based on cultural or media interests are announced. Chinese culture will be wedded to Mickey.

RETAIL: will also help Disney build a buzz before the 2015 opening . Were also opening or developing our first big store in China and that is actually in Shanghai, which will be used before it opens sort of a quasi visitor center to let people know more about the park itself, said Iger. Once the park opens we actually believe that well have a significant halo effect on the brand. There will be a lot more interest in and appreciation of Disney stories and characters. DISNEYS CRUISE LINE: represents another opportunity for tapping into the Chinese market. Iger says the company currently has no plans of adding to its fleet or expanding itineraries; however, it could become an option when Asia opens up to the family cruise business.
