Summary

It's Shanghai Disney Resort's fifth anniversary, so we're taking it back to their Grand Opening celebration — and discussing everything you never saw. Reporters Keith Sharon, Arthur Levine and myself flew overseas to see Shanghai Disneyland before it opened to the public, and well, we've got some stories. From TRON rides with Bob Iger to the challenge of interviewing the *very first guest* in Shanghai Disney Resort's new theme park, here's what it was like to be there, five years ago, when it all began.
