The designer behind the largest redevelopment of a Disney theme park in history is one of the key figures behind the look of its upcoming outpost in Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi has been picking up steam for a host of attractions and the newly-announced Disneyland is just another feather in its cap.

Disney's seventh theme park resort destination is planned to open in the early 2030s on Yas Island. Disney is partnering with United Arab Emirates developer Miral to open the most technologically advanced Disney theme park and resort experience yet.
