The wait is almost over: Another Disney park is on its way!

Shanghai Disney Resort will officially open June 16, 2016, the Disney Parks Blog announced Tuesday.

Shanghai Disney will be the second-largest Disney park worldwide, behind only Disney World, the Los Angeles Times reports. It features six themed lands, including Treasure Cove, the first Pirates of the Caribbean-themed land in a Disney park:

Shanghai Disney was supposed to open in 2015, but the date was pushed back after investors decided to pour an additional $800 million into more attractions.

In addition to hosting the tallest castle at any Disney park, the resort will also feature two hotels, including a Toy Story-themed getaway. A recreational area called Wishing Star Park will include acres of open space with a lake, walking paths and gardens for guests.

As the Star Wars mania slowly overtakes the U.S. Disney parks, this is welcome news to the o.g. Disney fans out there. We can't wait to visit!
