Disneyland Abu Dhabi is likely to open by 2030, possibly a year before Universal’s new park in the UK.
Recently, Disney’s CEO Bob Iger announced during a glamorous event that the company will build its seventh resort in Abu Dhabi. While an official opening date hasn’t been set, Josh D’Amaro, Disney’s Theme Parks Chairman, estimates the project may take 1-2 years for design and 4-6 years for construction.
Abu Dhabi has rapidly become a theme park hub over the past 15 years. The city already features parks like SeaWorld, Warner Bros., and Ferrari, with a Harry Potter land in development. Thanks to the hot climate, all parks are indoor and praised for their quality. These parks are on Yas Island, where Disney’s new resort will also be located. Unlike others, concept art shows it will be a hybrid of indoor and outdoor attractions.
Disney will be the treasure of Yas Island, playing a key role in the UAE’s economic diversification. With fewer fossil fuels, tourism and entertainment are becoming vital for the country’s future.

The UAE is investing heavily in leisure and entertainment using profits from oil. In 2024, the country’s GDP grew by 3.9%, driven mainly by its non-oil economy, which expanded by 4.6% last year. It’s projected to increase by 5.1% in 2025.

Yas Island has available land equivalent to around six times the footprint of Hong Kong Disneyland. Perhaps alluding to Walt Disney World in Orlando, which is home to four theme parks and two waterparks, Miral’s chairman, His Excellency Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, said «what we are creating with Disney in Abu Dhabi is a whole new world of imagination – an experience that will inspire generations across the region and the world, creating magical moments and memories that families will treasure forever. Through the development of unique attractions and experiences, Abu Dhabi continues to reinforce its position as a leading global destination for cultural and family tourism.»
The announcement follows the debut of the first Disney Stores in Abu Dhabi and Dubai over the past few months despite the bricks and mortar shops closing in most regions around the world.
Miral is already making the most of its partnership with Disney as it is tonight hosting largest fireworks display in Yas Island’s history with a drone show and fountains dancing in time to classic Disney tunes which will be played by renowned pianist Lang Lang. Even for an experienced operator like Miral, it will be a whole new world.
