A day well spent at Disneyland! The kiddos had so much fun despite the light drizzle. Lots of rides, fast-moving queues, and much shorter waiting times compared to back home. Definitely worth the visit! 🎢🏰💕

A really cool park! I highly recommend visiting the Zootopia zones, the Tron slide, Rex's Race, and the Pixar Adventurous Journey zone. These were the coolest places! 8 hours were enough for us to see everything, but you can come for the whole day. It's definitely worth a visit! We were there on Monday, and there were people, but relatively few.

Hooray! My personal hit parade of fairy tales opened in Shanghai, and it was magical! I'm so happy it happened here. It's a huge, modern, and incredibly atmospheric park. My goal is to visit all the others, because one Disney park isn't enough in life—there must be many 🫶🏻😭❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

No matter your age, the moment you enter Disneyland, you'll be transported back to your childhood. I haven't had so many experiences in one day in a long time! Yes, the lines are 1-2 hours long, but they're worth it (you can also track the line times in the app, but it's only available in the Chinese App Store region). The atmosphere is incredible, especially during the evening show, where people were either smiling or crying. I highly recommend it! Coming to Shanghai and not visiting Disneyland is a huge mistake!
