The world's biggest children's entertainment company now also wants to play a part in educating your children too — and to be more specific, to teach them how to speak proper English. When we found an ad in the taxi we were in yesterday drawing our attention to DisneyEnglish.com, we thought this was some fake school that had ripped off Disney's name, but when we got home to check it we realised that not only was this a genuine Disney English school, this was the world's very first Disney English school. And it's right here in Shanghai, located on Maoming Lu. For some strange reason, we think this is going to be a huge success in the Chinese market. What do you think?

this is the smartest thing Disney have ever done. the finance crisis won't even affect its coming success
I am surprised that Disney didn't do this ages ago. Maybe licensing was a problem or something. Opening a chain of Disney owned schools in China has more chances of success than any Disney theme park opening here. How long before we see a Disney University in China?
It's here already - it's called the Humanistic Olympics Studies Centre, apparently located in Beijing.
