Zootopia 2 is dominating the box office, and Disney is celebrating in the best way possible — by expanding the world of the film inside Shanghai Disney Resort’s Zootopia land. This synergy has never been stronger. Fans first spotted Marsh Market in Walt Disney World’s new Zootopia: Better Zoogether attraction, and now those same film-to-park-to-film connections are shaping Shanghai’s version too. With more than 30 new Easter eggs inspired by the sequel, the land is evolving right alongside the franchise.
Marsh Market Arrives in Shanghai
The sequel introduced audiences to Marsh Market, a bustling coastal district designed for semi-aquatic mammals. Now the land features nods to this new location everywhere: updated maps, clever signposts, and even a rotating billboard forecasting Marsh Market’s weather.
Updates in the Hot Pursuit Queue
The queue for Zootopia: Hot Pursuit is packed with new details. Marsh Market now sits among Zootopia’s district banners, and guests will spot a new mayor — Mayor Winddancer — whose official portrait has replaced Lionheart’s. Judy Hopps’ desk includes sunglasses, classified snake files, and a book on semi-aquatic mammals. Nick Wilde has a new tie, Nibbles’ crafted key, and an updated photo of him and Judy. Even the magazines and signage reflect the sequel’s world.
Reptile Representation: Gary De’Snake
Fan-favorite newcomer Gary De’Snake is now part of the land’s visual identity. The marquee has updated animal patterns featuring a subtle reptile print inspired by him.
Dr. Fuzzby Joins the City
A new counseling studio — Dr. Fuzzby’s — now sits above the iconic Lemmings’ workplace entrance. This new location adds charm and even more narrative depth.
From Park to Film and Back Again
Some locations Imagineering designed exclusively for Shanghai — like the sheep barber shop and Zootopia Fitness — appear in Zootopia 2. Now, those film versions inspire updated visuals inside the land. It’s a full-circle creative loop.
A Finale with New Music
For a limited time, the finale of Hot Pursuit features Gazelle’s new hit song “Zoo” from the sequel. The update runs through January 27, 2026.
Zootennial Gala Fashions
Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde greet guests in their shimmering Zootennial Gala outfits straight from the film. These limited-time meet-and-greets continue through January 27, 2026.
With so many new details woven into every corner of the land, Zootopia at Shanghai Disney Resort continues to evolve right alongside the franchise. These updates show how Imagineering and Disney Animation can build a world that grows with each new story. If you’re planning a visit, now is the perfect time to explore, compare, and spot every new connection — both the obvious ones and the hidden gems.
