What Real Customers Are Saying about Shanghai Disneyland

4.7/5

High-tech attractions. Be sure to download the park map from the official website before visiting. Lines for the rides are long, lasting 30-90 minutes depending on the attraction, and on Mondays and weekends, the lines are even longer. We've been to Zootopia, Gnome Mines, Pirates, Soaring Over the Horizon, Tron, Peter Pan, and The Little Mermaid—all of the rides are excellent in their own way. The performances and decorations throughout the Park are worthy of the highest praise. I definitely recommend visiting.

This is amazing! The Chinese are great, of course. I can confidently say that the TRON ride is the best ride I've ever had in my life. It's absolutely fantastic. You're completely immersed in every ride. Even adults will enjoy it. Everything is clean and tidy. The service is top-notch. The show is amazing. 100 out of 100. I highly recommend it. But please keep in mind that we stayed in a hotel within the park, and early entry was included. We got to ride all the top rides. We even rode the TRON twice. We skipped some because they were too kid-friendly. The food is fast food. A one-time meal for two costs about 3,000 rubles. During the show, there are seats in the center, and the staff monitor everything to make sure no one else gets in, or goes to someone already seated. I highly recommend it.

A true children's delight, where every adult can indulge their inner child. We were particularly impressed by the unique sets for each location, all beautifully detailed, and the nighttime view of the castle was absolutely spine-tingling. We tried several rides, but our favorites are: the Throne, Zootopia, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the water ride. The nighttime fireworks display lasted about 30 minutes; it was beautiful and captivating, bringing back childhood memories as we saw our favorite characters. We recommend arriving early, before opening, to enjoy all the popular rides. The only drawback is, of course, the lines for the rides, but despite that, the experience was absolutely positive.

Disneyland was filled with a convenient shuttle from Disneyland Resort, a variety of attractions, delicious meals at Disney Town, lovely souvenir shops, and friendly staff—all of which made my 1.5 days there very happy.
