2025 Shanghai Disney Resort Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

●Things to do in Japan ・Just like in Japan, there are attractions that are closed, so check the app ・Download the app (Chinese or English settings only) ・Purchase tickets (if you buy tickets from an unofficial site, there are early bird and pair discounts) (avoid Chinese holidays and national holidays if possible) ・Scan the QR code on the ticket with the app *You need a phone number to register, so it's a good idea to do this while you're in Japan *Some tickets require a passport to enter, and you can only get the QR code after you've entered. In that case, buy an eSIM with a phone number or use a virtual phone service ・Make sure you have internet access (if you've registered your ticket in advance, we recommend the trip.com eSIM, which doesn't have a phone number but can be used for Line and Instagram. It costs about 1,100 yen for 10GB for 8 days) 　　 ●Actual experience on the day (Monday) ⭐︎Entrance edition ・Like in Japan, it opens earlier than the official opening hours ・There is strict baggage inspection, but you can bring in food and drink (alcohol shouldn't be allowed) ・Get a standby pass immediately after entering the park (Standby passes are only issued on busy days, so on the day I went, I only got tickets for one show) ⭐︎Food - Food to eat on the go was about three times more expensive than in Japan (ice cream and popcorn were about 900 yen) - We brought bottled water and drank a lot at the many water stations in the park (it was summer, so we drank a lot) - Fast food was about 2000 yen (adding a drink was an extra 100 yen). The portions were large, so we ordered three pizza and gratin sets for four people, which came to about 6000 yen ) (I ate the rice balls I brought with me during the day) ⭐︎ Attractions, shows, and greetings ・On busy days, you have to line up to get into the Zootopia area (there was no line on this day) ・The waiting lines for Zootopia attractions are cute (30 minute wait in the morning, 20 minute wait at night) ・The attractions often stop for inspection, but they start moving after a while ・My number one recommendation is Pirates of the Caribbean, which I rode twice (30 minute wait during the day, 5 minute wait at night) ・You don't have to see the daytime parade, but you should see the nighttime show (if you wait 20 minutes before, you can see it from the center near the merry-go-round) ・It's quieter at night, so on hot or cold days, it might be better to watch the show indoors during the day and ride the attractions at night ・The greetings last about 2 minutes per group ・The turnover rate for greetings is slow, and there is a break, so even if the line isn't too long, you'll have to wait 40 minutes ・Most greetings are outside, so you can see the characters without having to line up ※This is getting long, so I'll summarize the recommended attractions and how to get around separately. #AsiaTravelRecord 📍Location: Shanghai Disneyland 💰Price per person: From 10,000 yen 🗓️Itinerary management: Weekdays from morning to night are best

Hello everyone! This time, I will introduce the annual pass for Shanghai Disneyland! Currently, Shanghai Disneyland has four types of annual passes, and this time, I will talk about the lowest grade annual pass, Pearl! The price of this annual pass is less than 30,000 yen! A one-day pass for Shanghai Disneyland is about 10,000 yen, so if you visit Shanghai Disneyland more than three times a year, it will pay for itself! And that's not all! With the Pearl annual pass, you will get a discount of 30 yuan (about 600 yen) for purchases of 200 yuan (about 4,000 yen) or more, and 20 yuan (about 400 yen) for food and drink purchases of 100 yuan (about 2,000 yen) or more! ⚠️However, there are some points to note about the Pearl annual pass. The days on which you can enter the park are limited, and you can only enter on weekdays, and you must make a reservation in advance for the park. And if you purchase an annual pass for the first time, you will first need to go to the guest service on the right side of the entrance gate of Shanghai Disneyland. Although there are some points to keep in mind, if you plan to visit Shanghai Disneyland for more than 3 days a year, this is a great deal, so please give it a try! 😉 #Discount info #0 yen travel autumn #100 travel styles #Shanghai Disney

Shanghai Disneyland is a magical destination that offers a unique blend of classic Disney charm and modern attractions. To make the most of your visit, here are some essential tips and guidelines. One of the first steps in planning your trip is to download the Shanghai Disney Resort App. This app is a crucial tool for navigating the park efficiently. It provides a wealth of information, including park maps, show schedules, and dining options. After downloading the app, the next step is to link your ticket number. This process is straightforward and ensures that you can take full advantage of the app’s features. By linking your ticket, you can make reservations for shows and attractions, check wait times, and receive real-time updates about the park. One of the highlights of Shanghai Disneyland is the Mickey Storybook Show. This popular show often fully booked quickly, so it’s crucial to book your tickets in advance through the app. Without a reservation, you may not be able to get in, as the show is in high demand. Booking early ensures that you won’t miss this enchanting experience. Essential Things to Bring to Shanghai Disneyland: Disposable Raincoat: If you plan to enjoy the water rides, bringing a disposable raincoat is a smart move. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and will keep you dry without taking up much space in your bag. Comfortable Footwear: As you’ll be doing a lot of walking, so comfortable shoes are a must. Opt for sneakers or well-cushioned sandals to keep your feet happy throughout the day. Portable Charger: With all the photos you’ll be taking and the frequent use of the Shanghai Disney Resort App, your phone battery might drain quickly. A portable charger ensures you stay connected and can capture all the magical moments. Sunscreen and Hat: Protect yourself from the sun by applying sunscreen and wearing a hat. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can be strong, so it’s best to be prepared. Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is important, especially when you’re on the go. Bring a reusable water bottle that you can refill at water stations throughout the park. Snacks: While there are plenty of dining options in the park, having some snacks on hand can be convenient, especially if you have dietary restrictions. Visiting Shanghai Disneyland is a magical experience, and with the right preparation, you can make the most of your trip. Have a magical day at Shanghai Disneyland! #amusement #100waysoftravel #disneyland #shanghai

📍Chuansha New Town, Pudong New Area, Shanghai China When going to Shanghai Disneyland! Good information to know! 🔸The subway to Disneyland is well-developed. Get off at Shanghai Subway Line 11 Disney Station and walk straight to Disney Resort, so taking a taxi is a waste! 🔸You need to bring your passport and download the Disney app! The Disney app shows the waiting times for rides and parades, so it's convenient. Essential❣️ 🔸When going to Disneyland, it's cheaper to buy tickets online! Don't forget to reserve in advance💖 🔸You can get a free can badge if it's your first time or your birthday! You can get it at the customer service center on the right after checking your ticket and completing your entry :) ​🔸Shanghai Disneyland has the Cinderella Castle, which is the tallest Disneyland in the world at 60m! The pink castle is so pretty and has a great presence no matter where you look! 🔸Tron is a must-ride at Shanghai Disney! It's an attraction only found in Shanghai Disneyland and is a rapid-fire roller coaster inspired by the Disney movie 'Tron'! It's really fun...! It's so popular that the wait is long! 🔸Re-entry is possible! So you can go to Disney Town outside the land. There are restaurants, cafes, Disney stores, etc., so you can enjoy everything comfortably. 🔸 Since they have fireworks every day, playing from opening to closing is the best, so if you have the time and energy, play from opening to closing♥ I would choose Shanghai Disneyland as one of the top 3 places to visit when you go to Shanghai ❤️ #Tourist Attraction Review #China Travel #China #Shanghai #Shanghai #Shanghai Travel #Shanghai Travel #Disneyland #Shanghai Disneyland #Shanghai Disney #Shanghai Disneyland

Address - Disney World Shanghai 上海迪士尼度假区 上海市浦东新区 Ambiance/Facilities - Amusement park and hotel with the restaurants. Highlights - Castle Rollercoaster, Pirates of Caribbean show and much more. Avg. Price per Person - 397 RMB ( book your tickets in advance) Rating - 5 star

Disney Shanghai was absolutely stunning. Two days at the park is enough to explore and experience all the rides, food and fun. Lines for major rides are max a 25 minute wait. The highlight is the illumination fireworks display show at night, just make sure you're early to get a good spot in front of the castle. #happynewyear#themepark#2023travelwish#mytripvlog

Gives you the magic of Disney. For me was a great experience because there wasn’t too many people and you could enter every ride faster compared to other Disneyland’s.

#spooktaculartrip Halloween are always associated with skeleton decorations and such. Thus, when we were at one of the shops in Shanghai Disneyland, the thought of Halloween immediately came into our minds. The shop we were at was the Doubloon Market/Treasure Cove. Thus, it sold merchandise related to pirates. You can buy stuff like costumes, headwear, treasure etc. That's why we get to see the likes of skeleton merchandise over here. We also saw pluto dog trapped in a cage. Poor thing. Wish to save him out of the cage. Address: 4MV5+945, Pudong, Shanghai, China, 201205 #disneyland #disneyshanghai

I couldn’t believe it’s been a year since we came to Disney , even as pass holders the Rona has kept us away. It was great to see new changes at the park , having multiple entrance to reduce the crowd , new restaurants in Disney Town opening. It was so nice to see people and fans , from the parades and the snacks was amazing. The park wasn’t that busy , so it was perfect. If you want to visit check the mini program for packages.

Disneyland is really fun. Although it takes a while to queue for each ride, it's worth it. You can see the cartoon characters from your childhood and it will instantly bring back childhood memories.

Getting There - Subway station : Disney Resort (line 11) + about 5-7mins walk from there. Attractions -  Food & Restaurants - Disneyland:A lot of ice cream and snack options. Some “meal” options but very expensive (over 100¥ for a burger combo). Disneytown : More food options such as Cheesecake Factory and Blue Frog. Still quite expensive but the food is better. Shopping - Tons of souvenirs shops. Rides- Long lines but Tron was definitely worth it!! The dwarves mine was a lot of fun too. I went there solo and still had a fun time! I’m also not much of a Disney fan but I loved the atmosphere! There’s an option for a 2 days pass - If you’re very much into Disney it might be worth it for you so you get to explore everything. If you’re like me and just want to “go with the flow” then I’d say a day pass is enough. Enjoy your Disneyland experience! #ThisIsChina #themeparks#summervacation#urbanexplorer #disneyshanghai #disneyland #themeparks #fun #yolo #familyfun

I don't know how to use words to describe my experience with this piece of jewelry. it was amazing, unbelievable, unique, alive, etc. you won’t get tired at all. you can find food and drink. but I preferred to have snacks and water with me. recommendation: install the Disney app on your phone and purchase an online ticket to skip the queue. through the app, there is an option, fast path. you can reserve the places you wanna visit and with that, you again will skip the queue to enter the entertainment area.you can do this while you are in the resort. go early in the morning so that you can see and enjoy everything.like be there at the opening time.😉 you won’t regret it! #photo #photos #pic #socialsteeze #picture #pictures #snapshot #beautiful #instagood #picoftheday #photooftheday #color #all_shots #exposure #composition #focus #capture #moment #hdr #hdrspotters #hdrstyles_gf #hdri #hdroftheday #skiadventure#beachlife #staycation #theworldheritage #themepark #autumn #mahdie_zamankahnpour

Gouda Stadhuis (town hall was completed in 1450) It’s architecture is unique Hotels - Best Western Plus City Hotel 4*, Euro 116 with breakfast 137 Food & Restaurants - many different restaurants on Market square Shopping - definitely cheese！Gouda and Edam are the Netherlands most famous cheeses and exported to many countries

Getting There - Attractions - Hotels - Food & Restaurants - Shopping - nice , good

Getting There - Take metro Line 11 and ride all the way to the last stop (Disney Resort) Attractions - Disneyland theme park, Disneytown Hotels - IN Disney: Shanghai Disneyland Resort Hotel, Toy Story Hotel. Both are pretty overpriced and the rooms are quite small. Toiletries are all themed and cute though! Plus you also get access to the shuttle buses that pick up and drop off directly to and from Disneytown. OUT of Disney: Moonlo Hotel was a great cost/benefit hotel. Literally feels like you’re staying at a spa in Bali 😅 the rooms are huge, super spacious, clean, and the bed is out of this world - in size and comfort as well! Shower is amazing and they have very good amenities available like washing/drying machine available 24/7! Food & Restaurants - Inside the park you can find several restaurants and snack shops with a variety of options to choose from. At the Heroes Power Up Station (across from the Tron ride), you’ll get burgers, fried chicken, fries, etc. At the Pirates of the Caribbean restaurant they serve Asian dishes. The snack shops can be found all around the park and sell popcorn, icecream, sodas, etc. There are also fancier restaurants like The Royal Dining at the castle! Outside of the park but still in Disneytown, the restaurant options include The Cheesecake Factory (highly recommend!), Wolfgang Puck, Blue Frog, and other smaller restaurant chains. You can leave the park and go back in through a different gate right before Tomorrowland! Shopping - If you’re a #disneyfreak like me, going to Disney = spending big bucks because you can’t resist all their lovely merchandise 😂💸 World of Disney is the biggest store you’ll find, it’s in Disneytown right before the park entrance and absolutely full of the coolest things. You can also find a two-story Lego store, Build-A-Bear Workshop, UGGS, Pandora, Sephora, and so many other shops before entering the park. Once you’re in, you’ll see that both sides of Mickey Avenue (the main road) are just really big shops all connected to each other. Also, after each attraction you’ll end up in a little souvenir shop with the themed merchandise of that ride! #staycation #themepark #disney

Another great park by Disney, one not to be missed!! We spent a long day in here and enjoyed every second of it. If you're coming to ride the Rise of the Resistance, you need to get in the park well before it opens, and use the app to book your place. You'll only have a very short time, 20 seconds to secure your ride for the day. We did, and the ride was GREAT!! we love it. though it’s tiring but it is worth it 😊 #staycation #themepark

Getting there- Shanghai Disneyland is located out of the city Center, in Pudong. It is accessible by car or metro (using line 11 and getting off at Disney Resort) Attractions- Before you go, download the app for Shanghai Disneyland. This will give you the map location of all the rides as well as their wait time. The app will also show you what time the shows are and when the parade will take place. I recommend going on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, it is exceptional! As well as Tron (if you are a thrill seeker) What makes a day at Disney special is the atmosphere, therefore the parade is a must see! If you are able to stay til the evening for the fireworks and light display then it truly is exceptional! Food and Drink- Food and drink is accessible inside the park, it is not as expensive as Western theme parks and comes in a variety of Disney character shapes! If you are able to, i suggest you exit the park (keep your ticket to re-enter) and visit Disneytown which has a wide variety of chain restaurants available, including the Cheesecake Factory. Where to stay- If you want to get the full Disney experience you can stay at the Disney hotel itself which is walking distance from the park. However there are many more affordable options within 15 minutes drive of the park. Rating- 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have now visited Disney Shanghai 3 times, and it really is magical! #themepark

it was such an amazing experience, and the fireworks made it even better. would highly recommend visiting during the Spring#tigeryear2022 Festival season.

I recently fell in love with Disney's niuMOs dolls. The little niuMOs have the shapes of various Disney cartoon characters. They look furry, but in fact they have a "hard" skeleton to support each cute little one! Because they are small, niuMOs dolls are also very suitable for decoration in different scenes, and Disney products have a lot of cute, seasonal, and scene-rich niuMOs costumes for the little dolls to wear and dress up. Whose girl's heart will not be ignited when playing in reality? ! The red-themed Mickey and Minnie couple is perfect for Christmas Eve and New Year, and it’s so lively! The 2022 golden theme series is also gorgeous and beautiful. I really want to take home every outfit! If you also like niuMOs dolls, you might as well come to the Disney Store to check them out!
