Before your visit, I recommend getting a queue tracking app and using it on the day of your visit. Also, check the attractions online and plan the ones you're interested in beforehand so you can ride them, as it's impossible to see them all and ride them all in one day.

Coming to Shanghai with kids and not visiting Disneyland is a crime. It's absolutely beautiful and spectacular! The 20-minute fireworks display before closing is worth it!

With all due respect, there's little information about this service. We weren't able to use it. We couldn't create an account in the Disneyland app installed on our iPhone. There were problems sending the code. Consequently, we couldn't link it. Money was wasted. Before purchasing, make sure you're not being logged out of your Disneyland app account and that you can download tickets and link them to early entry, but only on the day of your entry. It's a real shame. Everyone else watched the early entry process with paid early entry, but we didn't. Buy only if you're sure you have the app installed and your account.

A wonderful place. It was like stepping back into childhood. We were lucky – there weren't many people. The longest we waited in line was 60 minutes. We even went on some of the popular rides twice. We arrived at the park at 10 a.m.
