Booking tickets is easy through the trip.com app. Scanning and redeeming tickets was very simple. Getting there is convenient by MRT or Didi. Spending the whole day at the park is well worth it. There are zones exclusive to this park that are very fun. Some zones don't have long queues. There are many Disneyland shops and also many restaurants and shops in Disney Town.

Everything is great in terms of decorations and attractions. But there's one thing: half of the attractions in Marvel weren't working. There were navigation issues; there wasn't enough of a map to understand where everything was. Or someone who could have explained everything at the beginning.

5/5
If you're stuck in bad weather, stock up on groceries. Get noodles, instant coffee, and tea. There are two heated areas with a vending machine for hot water. You'll be really hungry, and not all the kiosks even have coffee (it costs 30, while cafes sell it for 58). Other hot items included some soup and a leg of some kind of bird for 80. If you want a hat, go to Miniso in town, they have some of those hats. They're half the price. At Disney itself, hats start at 219. Tron and Pirates are great rides! There are several parades. While everyone's at the parade, try going on one of the rides. It'll be less crowded. There are also lines for photos with the characters, but you can sign up and go to the cafe or restroom, for example. But in general, it was really strange to me that they take breaks every 15 minutes. There's a crowd of people waiting for them, freezing. And for some reason, they're taking a break in their warm suits. It's incredibly weird and really ruins the experience. Definitely download the app! It'll make things much easier!
