5/5
Disney itself was great! It was all DPA so there were no cut-offs or issues! The toilets and smoking areas were dirty. I read somewhere that English isn't spoken in China, but the shop staff and cast members spoke English, so I was able to understand and communicate! Baggage inspection wasn't strict, and even though I arrived at the park before 9am, everything went smoothly! It was fun with attractions that aren't available in Japan!

It's very convenient. Just present your passport, the staff will print your park ticket, and your Fast Pass will be sent as booked. Simply scan the ticket at the rides you purchased for and you can enter and enjoy the rides.
