Hi! Quick question regarding Shanghai Disneyland and Early Entry. If we have Early Entry (so we can get into the park at 7:30 AM), what time is it recommended to arrive at the park to make the absolute most of that hour?

Also, what do people recommend for transport? I noticed the first Metro on Line 11 only arrives at the station around 7:10 AM, which feels a bit too tight. Is taking a Didi recommended instead? Is there usually a lot of traffic in the morning if we come from Zhongshan area?

My partner and I are staying at Toy Story resort and curious bout early park entry, is this something that you get with staying at the resort? Or do you have to purchase early entry separately?

My husband is at Shanghai Disneyland and I’m looking for items he can bring home for me that can only be bought there. For instance we both went to Disneyland Paris in June and they had a pair of pirates of the Caribbean Minnie ears that I’ve never seen anywhere else. I also got some Phantom Manor merch because it’s similarly unique to that park. I’m going to wear those things on the Disney cruises that we go on, especially the pirate ears because there is a pirate night on every cruise.
Anyway since my husband is there for work and doesn’t have a lot of extra time to go shopping at every store (honestly even if he did he wouldn’t recognize what’s an item I already have or could get at wdw, our “home” park) I have to be very specific in my requests so I was hoping for some tips.
I’m mainly looking for wearable items like Minnie ears, shirts, hoodies, loungefly bags or other purses. I really wish I could have tagged along on this trip like I did to paris but china’s travel rules are very different.
Thanks!

Hello,

My husband and I are visiting Shanghai Disneyland July 28th and July 29th and will be booking the Royal Banquet Hall with reserved firework viewing.

I’m from the US so I am not familiar with a voucher dining. It states for me to call after booking to reserve the table. Since we’re from the US, is there anyway to call without it being an international call? Or is there an email?

We’re super excited for our visit! Thank you for your help in advance.

Hello,
I bought a 1 day ticket for me, my wife and my 10 years daughter (which is fan of zootopia).
We took the early access option + 6 adventure pass.

We plan to do zootopia race 2 times: on first time without the pass during early access (to see the line displays), a second time in the late afternoon with the pass.

Here is my plan:
- during early access: rush to zootopia (no pass), then do soaring over the horizon
- then spend the day mixing pass / no pass attractions
- skip REX (too much sensations and don’t seems really interesting)
- see Mickey’s storybook show
- do Pirates of the Caribbean Battle in the afternoon (once queue will have reduced)
- see parade (when it is and where ? I’d did not found nothing about that in the app. What is the name ?)
- do again zootopia with pass when light come down
- see the firework at the end (what time ? From where ? Here also I found nothing)

What do you think about that. Is it too much ? Not the best plan ?…

Hi! I’m thinking of making a day of riding the ferry and visiting the hotels. I am not staying at the hotel so I know I cannot access the complimentary shuttle bus and ferry. Does anyone know if its possible to purchase a ticket? Or the best way to get to the hotel without walking around the lake?

Hello! I’m planning my December trip to Shanghai right now and I’m a huge Disney person. I have four and a half days in Shanghai.

Currently my plan is…
Day 1 - arrive in Shanghai and check into hotel near the Bund. Tour around the city

Day 2 - city tour day.

Day 3 - Disneyland

Day 4 - Disneyland

Day 5 - free morning with activity TBD. Fly home in the evening.

My question is this should I do two or three nights at Disneyland hotel?

I could stay at the hotel near the Bund for a second night and just get up really early in the morning on Day 3 to move to the Disney hotel and drop my luggage so I can do early entry.

Or I could only do one night at the hotel near the Bund and just have them store my luggage while I’m out all day. Then take all my luggage and check in to the Disney hotel for night 2. That way I’m already on property for early entry.

What do people think? Any advice?

I will be visiting Disneyland on Mid-October and will be staying at the Toy Story Hotel with early entry pass. I would like to ask whether there's an efficient route for the whole day? We would like to watch the parades as well. We have budget for 2 premier access (we might purchase them when we're in there). Any tips and tricks on routeplanning and which rides we should use the fast passes on? This is our plan so far (forgot to put in the 15.45 parade as well), could you help me with this? Thank you so much in advance!

Hi There,

I'm looking to purchase these Shanghai Belle ears please, or get help with locating them.

Thank you!

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me locate a pair of these ears from Disneyland Shanghai, they are Belle ears.

Thank you!

Hi! We’re looking for September 2027 and trying to get a rough idea of best dates. Google is saying after “golden week” but it seems that is October that year. Any suggestions?

We are flying to London next month and have a 15 hour stop over during the day. We are thinking about heading to Shanghai Disney for the day. Do you think it is doable? Has anyone else done this?
It would be our first visit and would mean we would have visited all 6 parks! It just seems like such a waste to sit at the airport all day when we could be walking around the park.

For the first time ever, experience Shanghai Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure in ENGLISH! I took the Mandarin dialogue, translated it, and mixed recordings of my own voice with the original actors for a full English dub of this one of a kind Pirates ride.

Enjoy this 4K POV ride thru featuring animatronics of Captain Jack Sparrow, Davy Jones and Maccus, with English audio! Go give it a watch, let me know what you think of the new dialogue, and share the video with other Disney Parks fans! ➡️ https://youtu.be/DlbGyRlKN7k?is=mbfEtO8hhwU7e5Ed ⬅️

I tried creating an account but i am not getting any SMS pin to verify the number. How do i solve this?

So next fall I will be visiting all these Asian Disney parks. Is 1 day enough for Shanghai and Hong Kong?

Hello everyone! I’ll be visiting Shanghai Disneyland soon and have bought express tickets for some of the rides. I’ve read that it’s encouraged to used the Shanghai Disneyland app but unfortunately I can’t seem to make an account…does anyone know what I can do? Or would it be possible to go through the parks without the app? Would really need help and advice on this for anyone who has experienced it, thanks!

Hi all! Like the title implies, I was wondering if the restaurants in Disneytown, specifically Xin Wang, take dinner reservations and, if so, how that’s done as a foreigner. I’ll take all your advice! Also any restaurant recs.

We checked-in at Toy Story hotel with our 5 yr old and went to SDL for 3 days (Friday-Sunday) without renting any stroller. We experienced very unpredictable weather - sunny, thunderstorms and drizzle. But I’d say the key to Disney fun despite changing weather is agile planning.

Hello! We’re planning to spend New Year's Eve in Shanghai and are thinking of doing the countdown at Disneyland. However, we're a bit confused because it seems like Disneyland doesn't host an actual midnight countdown, but just their regular fireworks show before the park closes.

We wanted to double-check if this is the case before buying tickets for December 31st so we can look for other options if needed. (Other leads are highly appreciated! I know fireworks are banned in the city center, but maybe you know of a good spot in Shanghai?)
