Dear Sean,

We thank you for your email and sharing your concerns with us.

During the past weeks, we have also heard the opinions and comments made
by the conservation community and various different groups. We have
given careful consideration to this matter.

Hong Kong Disneyland takes environmental stewardship very seriously. We
are also equally sensitive to local cultures.

As the dish is considered an integral part of a Chinese wedding banquet
, it is customary for Chinese restaurants and five-star hotels to serve
shark’s fin soup in Hong Kong. Since Hong Kong Disneyland is located in
Asia, we believe that we have the obligation to offer choices to all of
our guests.

With this in mind, we feel that it is very important to balance between
environmental concerns and respect for the local culture, so therefore
we are taking the following proactive measures:

- Hong Kong Disneyland is committed to source from reliable and
responsible suppliers that adhere to International Treaties such as, the
Official Journal of the European Union Council Regulation, the US Shark
Finning Prohibition Act and the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

- We will work with our Guests to ensure that they are aware of many
other menu alternatives that could be incorporated into their banquets.
The dish will only be served to guests at private functions upon their
special request.

- We also believe that it is important to provide potential guests with
an informed choice. We are working with a local environmental group to
present informative material to all guests requesting shark’s fin soup
so they can make an informed decision and are aware of related
environmental concerns.

On behalf of Hong Kong Disneyland, I would like to thank you once again
for sharing your concerns with us.

Yours Sincerely,

Guest Communications
Hong Kong Disneyland
