This place is definitely worth a visit, even if you don't like rides. I don't like rides, but even I was very captivated. At the beginning, you find yourself in a fairytale atmosphere, it really is. Fabulous music, a beautiful atmosphere, and a huge crowd))). We were there on Friday, July 3rd, and it was raining cats and dogs. We got soaked through twice, but that didn't stop us, although an umbrella didn't help at all. It's better to take waterproof shoes or flip-flops. We decided not to go in the morning, as we know there are a lot of people in the morning. We went around 1:30 PM for lunch. The wait for the rides was up to 150 minutes. We managed to do three rides in three hours on the fast track. But because of the rain, many people started leaving after 7 PM, and after 8 PM, the wait for some rides was from 5 to 20 minutes. The evening show was at 9:15 PM; it was cool, but without drones. In Hong Kong, the show was even better, in my opinion. Otherwise, you don't even notice how time flies. After the first day, you really want to go to the second one; it's so addictive.

If my husband and I were traveling alone, we would never have gone to Disneyland, assuming it was for kids. But we were sorely mistaken – Disneyland is for everyone!!! We relived our childhood for a day and felt so young.))) All the reviews recommend visiting on a weekday, but that wasn't our option. We went on a Saturday. Yes, there were a lot of people, but I have nothing to compare it to. We had to stand for 60-90 minutes to see all the coolest performances and rides, our legs were sore from exhaustion. But after the rides, everything was instantly forgotten, and we were overwhelmed with emotion. The only thing we couldn't wait for was the fireworks display, as we arrived just before they opened and it rained most of the day, leaving us very wet and tired. A must-see in Shanghai.
