Magical Staycay at Shanghai Disney!

We purposely stayed in the hotel for access to the park and having stayed in Disney hotels in Florida and Paris had high expectations. The hotel did not disappoint in any aspect! Right from getting out of our taxi from the airport the hotel staff were there to collect our luggage and make sure the driver did not overcharge for our journey. Check in was easy and all staff were very helpful. There is a slight language barrier but this was resolved by just talking slower however the English of staff was generally very good and if they struggled they would get a colleague over to help. From first walking into the reception the lobby was immaculate, not a single thing out of place, no dirt or signs of uncleanliness which remained the case at all hours we were there. Our room was great, the beds were very comfortable as were the pillows, everything was tidy, cute slippers are left which were nice to take home. There were also Disney cups in the room I assume for children which staff said we were welcome to take with us. We didn’t hear any noise from outside in our room despite facing the car park. The room itself is a lovely design, there is a button near the bed that sets off a mini light show in the headboard of the beds, a small but beautiful touch. Hidden mickeys in the bed linen and when pulling out the bed from underneath the tv there is a cute little painting of Mickey sleeping underneath. The bath robes provided were also cosy. We did get out and explore the grounds which had a lot of hidden details, including Cinderella carriage and statue along with a glass slipper on the stairs. The swimming pool is very well decorated, it is little mermaid themed, subtle understated and very very clean. We did look at the gym but didn’t go for a work out. Kids club looked nice for kids to go to and they could make Mickey themed crafts. There were also character meet and greets in the main lobby which characters seemed to change frequently. Overall we were highly impressed #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
