Good evening from Shanghai! Two Aussies here!
My son and I have done every Disney in the world and have just redone Shanghai and Hong Kong this trip! Here are some tips…
Does Shanghai Disneyland have a DAS disability pass?
1. My son has the DAS pass as he has brain cancer that also took most of his vision – so this really helped with wait times. You get this from guest relations when you first enter the park.
Is English spoken at Shanghai Disneyland?
2. English isn’t really spoken, so ensure you have Google Translator
How long are Shanghai Disneyland ride queues?
3. Times were very very long, up to 3 hrs!
How much is the Shanghai Disneyland ride Express Pass?
We purchased the express pass for 2 days, which was $500 Aus for two people each day. It gave us 8 rides each day. Totally worth it if your budget allows it.
Does Apple Pay work at Shanghai Disneyland?
4. Apple Pay doesn’t work, so make sure you have the physical card or Ali Pay
Do you need to take your passport to Shanghai Disney?
5. You need your passport to get in each day at the gates
What hotels are at Shanghai Disneyland?
6. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel which had a shuttle bus which took minutes to get there – really nice hotel (we stay at the park hotels everywhere else)
Is Shanghai Disneyland big?
7. It’s a very big park and we did 20km walking plus each day
Are the Shanghai Disneyland shows in Chinese?
8. All the shows are in Chinese but still a lot of fun
9. When you come into the park, there are many people selling illegal merchandise, which I don’t remember happening years ago. It’s odd that Disney allow this! But you just walk on!
Is there a Downtown Disney at Shanghai Disneyland?
10. Downtown Disney has the Cheese cake factory which is the best place to eat!
It’s an amazing park – some odd things were seen such as grown men urinating in bottles in lines, but other than that, it was pure magic!!!
What are some good rides at Shanghai Disneyland?
11. Tron and Pirates are our all time fav rides
Should I buy an eSIM for Shanghai Disneyland?
13. We use Holafly eSIM which has a vpn, so all apps on my phone worked inc Facebook! Worth it as you need a lot of data for this park!!!!
Have a magical day
