Take my advice: Shanghai Disneyland will punish those who don't plan ahead.

To make the most of your trip to Shanghai Disneyland, we highly recommend visiting during off-peak times. Holidays and weekends are very crowded, and you may spend a long time waiting in line. Visiting during off-peak times can help solve this problem. It's winter now, so there are fewer people on weekdays, and you don't have to get up early to line up at the security check! Here's a detailed guide: ✅ Entry time: There's no need to line up at 7:00! We entered the park at 10:00 and didn't have to line up at all. It was very smooth. 🍫 ✅ Head straight to Zootopia to play Zootopia: Hot Pursuit. 👮 ✅ After that, go straight to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (this is a very popular ride, and we waited in line for an hour in the hot sun). ✅ The third ride is Soaring Over the Horizon (this is also very popular, and the wait time was over an hour all day, so try to go early). ✅ We had a chicken wrap for lunch 🫔 and took a break on the Fantasia Carousel. 🎠 ✅ At around 14:30, we watched a performance for a while, then wandered around the park and took photos. 📷 ✅ After the parade, we went on Roaring Rapids. You don't really need to buy a raincoat, as you don't get very wet (raincoats cost CNY 10 on site). ✅ The parade starts at 15:30. Find a shady spot to wait about 10 minutes in advance (unless you want to interact, in which case you should get a spot at the front). ✅ Then we lined up for TRON Lightcycle Power Run, which is the most exciting ride. You have to try it! 🎢 ✅ Finally, we watched the sunset over Disneyland from the Jet Packs. It was beautiful! ✅ At around 18:00, you can go to Disneytown for dinner. The portions at Cheesefield 🍕 are huge, which is great for families. ✅ You can check the time of the fireworks show in advance and find a good spot in the park about an hour before it starts. 🎆🎆 🚦 A day at Disneyland is exhausting. We took it easy, playing for a while and then resting, but we were still very tired! Be sure to wear comfortable shoes! This is very important. Notes: 1️⃣ ID card: Required! You need to scan your ID card to exchange your ticket and enter the park. 2️⃣ Power bank: Required! You'll definitely want to take lots of photos. 3️⃣ Bottled water: Required! Water is expensive in the park, so bring a water bottle or bottle of water. There are free water dispensers in the park. 4️⃣ Snacks: You can bring a few snacks to pass the time while waiting in line.
