How to go to Shanghai Disneyland Shanghai Disneyland Travel Guide 2018

The following is a guide about Shanghai Disney. Many friends definitely want to go to Shanghai Disney, but they don’t know how to go. The editor will tell you what to do when going to Shanghai Disney. It’s more fun to play.

Ps: This guide is more suitable for young people, couples or good friends. Book your tickets and hotel before going.

How to book tickets?

There are many channels for booking tickets. The ticket price on the official website is 370 yuan/person/day on weekdays and 499 yuan/person/day on holidays. I recommend going Book on Taobao or Fliggy. The top store on Taobao and Fliggy can buy it for 300 yuan on working days, and around 360-400 on holidays. Occasionally there are some discount tickets, such as the previous Ctrip event tickets for 260 yuan on working days, but those online Discount tickets that are much lower than the market price are not recommended because they are risky. There are also scalpers selling so-called discount tickets at the entrance of Disney, so they are not recommended for the same reason. After buying the ticket, you will receive a text message that the reservation has been successful

You just need to swipe your ID card when entering the park on the same day.

How to book a hotel?

There are three options for booking a hotel:

1. If you have more money, you can book the "Toy Story Hotel" near Disneyland " and "Disneyland Hotel", these two hotels are right next to Disneyland, very close to each other, which is very advantageous. The room rate is 80 for Toy Story and 150 for Disneyland. It is best to book in advance. I personally think The price-performance ratio is average, but the environmental services are pretty good.

2. B&B: The advantage of B&B is that it is cheap and very close to Disneyland, usually within 1-3KM nearby. Moreover, B&B owners generally provide free Disney pick-up and drop-off services, which is very convenient. This time I booked a Japanese tatami-style room on Airbnb. For two nights on the 23rd and 24th, I spent a total of 520 yuan (new Airbnb users can get a coupon, and you can get 200 yuan off when you spend 500 yuan or more. If you are New users, I strongly recommend you use Airbnb to book B&Bs). Below are two pictures I took of myself. The real scene is exactly the same as what I saw online, and they also provide free breakfast in the morning. After breakfast, take their car to Disneyland. , it’s simply not too fun, so I highly recommend B&Bs. Not only are they cost-effective, but the overall experience is also very good. However, there is also a chance that B&Bs will encounter houses with poor service.

Many people have sent me private messages about the B&B where I am staying. I will give you a unified answer:

My Japanese-style tatami room can be booked through Airbnb. Select the time on Airbnb and search for Shanghai Disney. , select the number of people 2 people, and filter the price from 200 to 500, you can find this room in "Youying Inn". They also have many other room types. Their house is not bad, and the owner is also very good. They have just opened, So I also help them promote it for free. The service is really good. If you want to stay in a B&B, you can consider their home. I am not familiar with other B&Bs, so I will not recommend them to avoid misleading.

3. Hotels near Disney: The hotels near Disney cost about 300-500, or they can be hotels near the subway station near Line 11. Generally, hotels have shuttle buses to Disney in the morning, but I I have never stayed in a nearby hotel, so I don’t know what time the earliest shuttle bus is. In fact, I personally think that at this price, it is better to consider a B&B. A B&B is much more comfortable and cleaner than an express hotel. Tips you need to know before entering the park

1. If you have time, it is best to go to Disney Town one night in advance. The town is just outside the park. There is no need for tickets. Get familiar with the area where tickets are queued up. , you can also visit the "Disney World Store" in Disney Town, which has many Disney peripheral products.

2. Be sure to arrive early the next morning. I think the time period of 7:00-7:30 is OK. If it is earlier, the time advantage will be greater. I will discuss the details later. Let me tell you in detail, so the time advantage is very obvious when I go to line up in the morning when I live nearby.

3. Disney currently does not allow food and selfie sticks to be brought in. Drinks and water exceeding 600ml cannot be brought in. They will check the bags when entering the park and throw them away if they find any. Therefore, my suggestion is to carry some energy-supplementing items like Snickers bars with you, and then put small snacks in the pockets of your clothes and bring them in. I have seen many people bring ham sausages.

Also remember to bring coins, which will be used to store bags, and a power bank. If you bring a suitcase, there is paid storage in the park, and the price seems to be 50 per day.

4. Important: Download the "Disney Resort" App in advance, and then register an account. The most important function of this App is to grab FP (Fast Pass). Some popular items may be ranked 2- 3 hours. After using FP, you can take the express lane and only need to queue for 10-30 minutes, which greatly shortens the queuing time.

Let’s start with the key points and read them carefully:

1. Arrive at the park early in the morning. If there is a shuttle bus early, take the shuttle bus. If there is no shuttle bus, take a taxi. Anyway, the earlier you get to the queue, The better, the queue is divided into two sides, and you can line up on whichever side there are fewer people. The red box I marked is basically the queuing area. Just come out of Exit 1 of the subway station and go straight forward. Ps: I started queuing at 7am.

2. After you line up, a scalper will appear at this time. The best thing about a scalper is that he dares to jump in the queue at will, and sometimes even leads others to jump in the queue, and no one will say anything. them. (Because someone else is in a group, you know) Usually someone books a tour guide service online in advance, and then scalpers bring them in to play, charging about 100-200 per person. In fact, I don’t recommend this kind of service. You can handle it yourself. You can still have fun playing if you know the skills.

3. There are two ticket gates at Disney. The first one is bag inspection. You have to line up one by one to open your bag and check whether there are snacks or the like inside. If you have brought food, Just remember to keep it on your body and don't let them see it. We checked in early that day, starting at the first gate at 7:15. After checking in, we jogged to the second gate, continued to line up, and waited for the official opening of the park.

4. At the second gate, you swipe your ID card, and the staff will print your ticket for you, and then you will officially enter the park. It opens relatively early during peak periods, and it is 7.30 on December 24th. Opened on time.

Ps: I think Disney’s most distinctive projects are: Tron Light Wheel, Beyond the Horizon, Pirates of the Caribbean - Battle for the Sunken Treasure, float parades, stage plays, and fireworks shows, so my tour The order is based on this basis. I will not introduce the map and geographical location of Disneyland. You can download an official app and see the distribution areas and geographical locations of different projects in Disneyland at home. After entering the park

1. After entering the park, don’t run away yet, immediately open the App “Disney Resort”, log in to your account and click “My Tickets”, then associate the tickets. If the number of you is ≤ 5, then Only one person needs to log in to the account, and then scan the QR code on each person's ticket to create a play group, and then immediately grab the FP of "Flying Over the Horizon". After grabbing it, everyone in the group can There is FP, and the APP can also view the current queue time and positioning map of each project, which will be used later.

Here I would like to explain the rules of FP to you: some popular projects in the park can receive FP, but the daily FP has a time period, such as 9:30-10:30, 11:30- At 12:30, the early FP grabs are for the previous time period. Once this time period is finished, it will be postponed until the latest FP is grabbed. All FPs for this project will be gone, such as flying over the horizon. For projects that take more than 2 hours to queue up, if you arrive late, you will not be able to get the FP for this project on your mobile phone. You can only wait in line for 2-3 hours. As shown below, the queue will last for 4 hours. And after receiving FP for the first time, you can receive the second FP two hours later.

2. The FP I grabbed for Flying Over the Horizon was between 11:30 and 12:30. After entering the door, I ran directly to the left to go to Tron. There were a lot of people going to the right. I arrived. The time for Tron should be around 7:45. After saving the package, there was no one around, so I went straight in to play for the first time. Don’t be afraid of the Tron project. The whole process is really fun. The visual effects and excitement are 10 times better than that of a roller coaster. After playing the first time, I went straight in to play the second time without picking up the bag. Because there were very few people, there was still no need to queue (this That’s the advantage of going early) Then after the second time, people queued up for only 5 minutes, so I continued to swipe three times. After finishing swiping, the time was around 8:20. By this time, Tron’s queuing time had become 90 minutes.

3. After clearing Tron three times, I think it is more appropriate to go to Pirates of the Caribbean - Battle for the Sunken Treasure. Generally, there are several popular projects at this time: Tron, Beyond the Horizon, Mine Cart, Thunder Mountain Rafting, and Heritage Exploration Camp. People should queue for at least 60 minutes. The queue time for Treasure Battle should be 30-50 minutes. You can also check which of these popular items has the shortest queue time and go for it according to the actual situation. I went to the Caribbean and queued for 30 minutes. If there is a single channel, be sure to queue up for a single channel. The time will be faster, but there is no difference in playing. A group of people can also sit together without affecting it.

For the Battle of Sunken Treasures, it is best to sit in the first row, as the visual effect will be better. If there is no first row, you can ask the staff to wait for the next batch, and they will usually agree. This project is the most expensive project in Shanghai Disneyland. The visual effects are explosive. I suggest not to take photos or videos during the process, as this will divert your attention, and then devote yourself to following the boat to enjoy it. I can only say that there is a scene in the middle of the boat. From the bottom of the sea to the surface, it's as if you are there in person. It's so cool. You can experience it yourself slowly. Words can't express that feeling. I didn’t take any pictures but found a picture online

4. After playing this project, the queue time for several popular projects is relatively long. This time period is about 9:30-10 o’clock, so you can grab it. It’s the second FP, so grab whichever project still has FP. Generally, Tron and Over the Horizon’s FP are gone at this time, so just grab Thunder Mountain Drifting or Dwarf Mine Cart. If there is none, you can grab Peter Pan and Little Bear. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Buzz Lightyear is the most boring one. If you don’t have it, grab it. I grabbed the Thunder Mountain Rafting at 3-4 pm.

5. After receiving the second FP, around 10 o'clock, my suggestion is to go to the castle in the middle and take a photo of the license plate in front of the castle. At this time, there are not many people and the sun is better. , you can take more pictures.

6. After the shooting, it will be around 10:30. My suggestion is to go to the Marvel Heroes Headquarters. There are Spider-Man and Captain America (played by actors). You can go there and take photos with him. , as well as Iron Man models and Iron Man games, as well as some peripheral souvenirs. Trust me, even if you are not a Marvel fan, you can still go and check it out.

7. After coming out of Marvel, you can see people standing on the road next to it, all waiting for the float parade at noon. When I went there, it started around 11:30. You can see the specific starting time of the parade on the day in the app. Don’t miss this event, but it is not recommended to wait too long. Walk around first. When the parade convoys arrive, you can find the railing behind and put your feet up to see it.

After watching this project, you can go to have lunch. There is lunch in Disney. The price of a single set meal is about 70-100 yuan. If you think it is expensive, you can go to Disney Town to eat. As for what to eat The items and specific prices can be found on Dianping.com, so I won’t introduce them in detail. There are both Chinese and Western food, both cheap and expensive.

8. We ate two Snickers bars without eating, and then went to Flying Horizon. The queue for Flying Horizon was 3 hours, but we only queued for 10 minutes using FP. This project is Sit on the seat and fly up, and then travel around some well-known attractions around the world. The visual effects are still explosive. What’s interesting is that when you fly to the grassland in the middle, there is the smell of grass, and when you fly to the ocean, there is the smell of water and ocean. , quite realistic. This project is also the project with the largest queue in Disney. I think this project is a must-play, but it is not necessary to play it twice, in my personal opinion.

9. After playing Over the Horizon, it was basically around 1 o'clock. There are many people at this time, and basically all the popular items have long queues, so here I recommend going to the "Alice in Wonderland Maze" Take a look, there is something interesting inside. The important thing is that there is basically no queue for this project. The entrance is near the castle and can be found on the App.

10. In the afternoon, from 1:00 to 4:00, there are actually a lot of people in popular projects. At this time, you can queue up for your favorite popular projects, or choose some interesting small projects, my choice It is to watch a stage play. You can see the schedule of the stage play in the app, and then just queue up to enter the venue. The queue for a stage play usually takes 20-30 minutes, and the performance is about 30 minutes, which lasts an hour.

I chose to watch the stage play of Tarzan. I have to say that the actors are very dedicated and professional, and the stage layout is also good. I think you must choose a stage play to watch, such as Frozen and Tarzan. , Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.

11. After reading it, I walked around for a while. It was already around 3 o'clock. At this time, I used the Leiming Mountain Rafting FP I picked up in the morning to go to Leiming Mountain. I arrived in about 10 minutes, and I arrived at Leiming Mountain. A raincoat is a must for the project. If you don’t bring one, there are Disney staff selling disposable ones at the entrance queue for 10 yuan/piece. If you want to use it twice, don’t throw away the raincoat. Thunder Mountain is a good project, not very exciting, but there will be water splashing on the body, and my shoes got wet a few times. There are a few slopes in the middle which are quite interesting. Overall, it is okay, but not necessary. Just for fun, because similar projects are available in many places.

12. After playing Thunder Mountain, it was almost four o'clock. We chose to go to dinner at this time, because there were many people going to eat at 5 o'clock. We wanted to stagger the time, so we went to the Disney subway station to buy FamilyMart first. I bought some water and yogurt, and then went to Disney Town to eat. I bought a wonton + soup bag for 35 yuan, with a discount of 31 yuan.

Ps: There are many stores in Disney Town. You can get a 10% discount by showing your Disney ticket for the day when paying. Don’t forget it.

13. It was almost 5 o'clock when we entered the park after dinner. One of the popular attractions at this time was "Pirates of the Caribbean - Battle for the Sunken Treasure" which only took 30 minutes, so we ran there immediately. You can queue for the single channel, which is said to be 30 minutes. In fact, it took me 10 minutes to play Caribbean again. Generally speaking, the second time was not as exciting as the first time, but in the process, I also had more time and energy to pay attention to it. The scene layout and details are also very cool.

14. After playing Caribbean, it was getting dark. At this time, I saw that Thunder Mountain only required 30 minutes of queuing on the APP, so I decisively went to queue, but it only took less than 20 minutes to play. , Facts have proved that there is still a difference in the stimulation level of this project in the dark and during the day. The vision is better during the day and the stimulation level is high at night. Each has its own merits.

15. It was past 6 o'clock after passing Thunder Mountain. Because it was Sunday plus Christmas Eve, the queue time for other popular activities was more than 90 minutes, so we couldn't get in line at all, so we chose to go to the small park. For the project, I played Spin Bee and Buzz Lightyear Rescue in turn, and waited in line for about 20 minutes. Then I went shopping at Marvel. It was basically after 7 o'clock, and I found a relatively front seat to wait for 8.30. Fireworks show. Final summary

1. Tron's Speedy Light Wheel, Soaring Over the Horizon, Pirates of the Caribbean - Battle for the Sunken Treasure, float parades, stage plays, and fireworks shows are events you must not miss. If you are willing to queue up, just queue up. If you don’t want to, just wander around and take more photos.

2. Be sure to arrive early. Although there were a lot of people on the day I went, I could still get 3 credits for the Tron project if I arrived early in the morning. If I arrived late, not only would I have to queue up, but the popular project FP would also be gone. In addition, if you go there on weekdays, you will have priority because there are not many people and the tickets are cheap.

3. Be sure to read more in the App. You can see the current queuing time and location routes of various popular items, including toilets, performances, and business hours. With this software, you can also find them in the app. No other maps are needed.

4. There will be Internet celebrity drinks, hot dogs, and turkey legs for sale in the park. The prices are not cheap. I think you can buy them or not, it depends on you.

5. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I am not able to play all the projects, but I believe that following this idea, you should be able to play as many interesting projects as possible when there are few people.

6. If you have money in Disney, you can directly spend money to buy the exclusive card FP, or you can spend money to buy the official tour guide service for 16,000 yuan, but I estimate that people who can afford it will not read my article. Great article, haha~
