See image 18 for specific programs and showtimes (subject to daily updates). 3️⃣ The former strictly prohibits photography and video recording throughout, while the latter has no such restrictions, allowing free photography and video recording, perfect for photo-loving friends 🍠. In summary, both shows have their unique features. If you have the budget and enjoy immersive experiences, the former is recommended. If you seek high cost-performance and a lively atmosphere, the latter with its "show + park" combination advantage is recommended.
