2024 Shanghai Disney Resort Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

A Simple Guide to Shanghai Disneyland

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

Disney Resort - The Magical Place 🏰

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

Where Magic Lives 🏰

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

Shanghai Disneyland

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.

Halloween Vibe In Shanghai Disneyland

#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

A Magical Place🪄 | One Year Visit

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.

Shanghai Disneyland!

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

a day full of joy 😄

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 -small town but worth to visit

Getting There - from Utrecht by bus 107 to Gouda Centrum (1 hour Euro 6.60) or by train to Gouda station Attractions - 1. Gouda cheese market on every Thursday from April to September and shops! great fun because you can try many different types of Gouda cheese even wasabi! I liked most the 24 and 48 months aged cheese! just delicious but there is something for everybody! It is a must 2. Church of Saint John 3. 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

this is my daughter favorite ride at disney

✨ Magic, Mickey, and more!! 🐭❤️🏰

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

Shanghai Disneyland- Where dreams come true!!

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

Once again！ A magic day in Disneyland

To be honest, Disneyland is a place that you will never get tired of it. Every time you visited, some new mysteries will be surprisingly found 😲 1 Tron This time I discovered that for Tron's roller coaster 🎢, there exsits some seats which are specifically designed for the disabled. My friend and I had a try this time (didn't affect the disabled people's experiences). That was so Niccccce!!!!!!🔥 2 Soaring over the horizon This time, I was so lucky and my 💺 was in the exact middle which provides me the extraordinary view of Earth 🌎, pretty impressive!! Plus: During the weekdays, there were not too many people in the resort, the waiting time is extremely Short!!!! Come and try !!!(with all PPE!) #dateideas #spamagic #resortstyle #zoofun #crusielife #finearts #historicplaces #christmasgiveaway #cruiselife
