South Asia's First Disneyland

A trip to Disneyland is arguably everybody's dream, for children and adults alikeWhile there is no Disneyland in any South Asian country yet, the possibility of Disneyland in Hyderabad was first reported in 2016. The Telangana tourism department had said, "The talks with Disneyland Park representatives are at a preliminary stage now. Once the terms are finalised, Telangana will have its own Disneyland with all its splendour."

A team from Disneyland was to visit Sri Lanka’s Hambantota to discuss setting up a theme park there, news agency ANI had reported in October last year. Bringing Disneyland to an Indian city would give it a boost in status and economy worldwide, making it on par with cities like Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. An X user reflected this in his post, stating, "If Disneyland comes to Hyderabad, it will be a lifetime achievement."
