How can you miss Disney, this magical world, when visiting Shanghai! As someone who just spent a week at Disney, I've put together a super practical guide for everyone, covering food, accommodation, and transportation to help you avoid pitfalls and common mistakes. Save it quickly! ✨
🏨 Accommodation Recommendations:
1. Toy Story Hotel
• Pros: Official hotel, super close to the park, offers free shuttle service, allows early entry 1 hour before opening (saves you the early entry pass), full Toy Story theme.
• Cons: Rooms are a bit small, prices are higher during peak season.
• Address: No. 360, Shendi West Road, Chuansha New Town, Pudong New Area, Shanghai
2. Melia Shanghai Parkside
• Pros: European style, great for photos, only a 15-minute walk to Disney, excellent value for money.
• Cons: No themed atmosphere.
• Address: Lane 818, Shendi West Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai
3. Novotel Shanghai Clover
• Pros: Metro Line 11 goes directly to Disney, convenient transportation, suitable for budget-conscious travelers.
• Cons: A bit further away than the others.
• Address: No. 468, Kangxin Highway, Pudong New Area, Shanghai
🚗 Transportation Tips:
• Metro Line 11 goes directly to Disney Resort Station, Exit 1 is a 10-minute walk to the park.
• If driving, it's recommended to park at the Mickey Parking Lot (closest to the main entrance), 100 RMB maximum per day.
• Park shuttle buses operate until 1 hour after closing, so no need to worry about getting back too late.
🎢 Must-Play Attractions:
1. TRON Lightcycle Power Run (Tomorrowland): The most thrilling ride in the park, bar none.
2. Soaring Over the Horizon (Adventure Isle): A 5D world tour.
3. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (Fantasyland): A beginner-friendly roller coaster.
4. Pirates of the Caribbean – Battle for the Sunken Treasure (Treasure Cove): Stunning special effects.
5. Roaring Rapids (Adventure Isle): Remember to bring your own raincoat!
🍗 Dining Guide:
• Highly recommend the BBQ set meal at Barbossa's Bounty.
• Mickey & Pals Market Cafe has the most choices.
• You can bring unopened snacks into the park.
• Definitely buy the limited edition ice cream featuring Duffy and Friends.
🎆 Best Spot for Fireworks:
• The best spot is in front of the castle at Gardens of Imagination.
• Go 2 hours in advance to secure a spot.
• If you don't want to be crowded, you can also see them from the restaurant terraces at Disneytown.
💡 Practical Tips:
1. Make sure to download the "Shanghai Disney Resort" App to view maps, wait times, and grab FastPasses.
2. Bring a power bank! It's hard to borrow one in the park.
3. Wear comfortable shoes; walking 20,000 steps a day is no exaggeration.
4. If you go during your birthday month, you can get a birthday badge, and staff will proactively wish you a happy birthday.
Finally, a reminder that selfie sticks and tripods are prohibited at Disney. Wish you all a fun time~ Remember to wear your favorite Disney-themed outfits for photos!
