SHANGHAI/HONG KONG (Reuters) - The Shanghai government may soon give
preliminary details on plans for a new Disney theme park it hopes to

reveal the latest developments concerning the proposed park.

"This project will surely go forward, but first it must be approved by the
central government," said the government source on condition of anonymity.
