Disney aired the live broadcast of the grand opening show on its Facebook and the Disney TV stations on the night of June 15, 2016. Bob Iger, the chairman and chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company, was joined by nearly 3,000 distinguished guests and celebrities for a showcase of choreography, acrobatics, costumes, and technology on grand scale, with dazzling lights, Disney music, pageantry, special effects, and fireworks.

Adventure Isle is the park's counterpart to Adventureland. Focused around a mysterious lost world full of hidden treasures, the land features Roaring Rapids, a river rapids ride through the land's towering Roaring Mountain and Soaring Over the Horizon, a hang gliding flight experience across the world. Additionally, the land features Tarzan: Call of the Jungle, a live acrobatic stage show (which was permanently closed to make way for The Adventure of Rhythm) in Storyhouse Stage, and Camp Discovery.{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}

{{main|Tomorrowland (Disney Parks)}}

Tomorrowland is the park's futuristic-themed land. Unlike the other Tomorrowlands, this version does not have Space Mountain and instead is home to TRON Lightcycle Power Run, an indoor Tron-themed roller coaster. Similarly, instead of an Astro Orbiter attraction, Shanghai's park includes a spinning Jet Packs ride. Other attractions include Tomorrowland Pavilion (home to Star Wars Launch Bay, which is permanently closed to make way for Avatar: Explorer Pandora), Stitch Encounter, and Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue, a variant of previous Buzz Lightyear dark rides.{{cite web|url=https://unveilthemagic.shanghaidisneyresort.com.cn/?ref=officialwebsite#mrsj|title=上海迪士尼度假区|language=zh|trans-title=Shanghai Disney Resort|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151011011337/https://unveilthemagic.shanghaidisneyresort.com.cn/?ref=officialwebsite#mrsj|archive-date=October 11, 2015}}
