I think it's a must-see 😍 We bought tickets on trip.com the day before, arrived at 11 a.m., and got through everything without a line. The only thing is, if you don't get fast track entry to the rides, you'll have to wait for about an hour for each one, so it's better to get it. If not more. We were there on Sunday for Halloween; the parade was amazing 😍 It was a great atmosphere to spend the day with the kids.

MUST TRY. Our family had a great time at Disney Shanghai. Our daughters had best experience with the all the rides. We had low expectation because rides for younger kids mostly but adults also enjoyed all of them too. only thing is we should have had more days at the park.

A little throwback to Halloween at Shanghai Disneyland! 🎃✨ The celebration may be over, but I’m still not over how magical the whole experience was! I was lucky enough to visit during the Halloween season, when the entire park was filled with spooky decorations, festive vibes, and Disney magic. But the real highlight was definitely at night! 💜 Seeing the Disney Villains take over the parade was so much fun, and the spectacular Halloween fireworks made the night even more unforgettable! 🎆 It was one of my favorite memories from my Shanghai trip. If you’re planning to visit Shanghai Disneyland next year, I highly recommend going during Halloween. The atmosphere is completely different from a regular Disney day! 🏰✨
