Disneyland Lazy Guide: Enter at 10:00
☀️Great! The sun is out at Shanghai Disneyland on November 21. The weather is clear, and you can take bright photos again! November–December is the off-season at Disneyland, so there are fewer people. You don't have to get up at 5:00 and line up at 7:00. You can go at 9:00 and enter the park without lining up.
Some suggestions for first-time visitors:
Transportation:
🚗Taxi: The starting fare is CNY 16 during the day and CNY 21 after 22:00. It's really expensive, so I don't recommend taking a taxi.
🚄Subway: Line 11 goes directly to the park.
Accommodation tips:
You can choose a hotel close to Disneyland. Some hotels also offer shuttle services, which is more convenient!
✅Must-bring items: ID card, power bank, phone, thermos, snacks, nuts ❎Prohibited items: glass products, heated food, tripods, multi-section selfie sticks
Suggested itinerary (no detours):
1⃣10:30 Enter the park
2⃣11:40 Pirates of the Caribbean, line up for about 25 minutes
3⃣12:40 Mickey's Storybook Adventure, enter at around 12:20, make a reservation while lining up for Pirates of the Caribbean, highly recommended
4⃣13:30 Golden Fairytale Fanfare near the castle
5⃣14:00 Canoe, line up for about 20 minutes, my companion likes this ride, but I think you can skip it and rest or stroll around
6⃣15:00 Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, line up for about 15 minutes in the single rider line, see the picture for the single rider line
7⃣15:30 Parade, take beautiful photos of Belle, Nick, and Judy
8⃣16:00 Voyage to the Crystal Grotto, basically no line, stroll around near the castle
9⃣17:00 Soaring Over the Horizon, the longest line is about 35 minutes
🔟18:00 Jet Packs, line up for about 25 minutes
1⃣1⃣18:40 Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue, go at around 17:00, the single rider line was closed when I went, line up for 25 minutes, I don't like this ride, the weightlessness is very scary
1⃣2⃣19:15–20:15 Rest outside the park, Xinwang Restaurant in Disneytown is super delicious, the double roast meat and beef chow fun are definitely worth trying
1⃣3⃣20:50 Peter Pan's Flight, line up for 10 minutes
1⃣4⃣21:00 Get ready to watch the fireworks, if you want to take photos with the fireworks, go behind the castle, but if you want to watch the light show, go to the front of the castle.
✅In summary, I didn't go on the popular Soaring Over the Horizon and Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue in the morning. There are fewer people on these rides after 17:00. Make good use of the single rider line to save time lining up for Hot Pursuit. Don't buy dolls from vendors in the park, just check the wait time on the app. Disneytown and Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue are in the same area, so I arranged dinner there.
