Shanghai Disneyland FastPass Guide 2026: How Disney Premier Access Works

Author's Profile Picture
Shanghai Disneyland FastPass

Looking for a Shanghai Disneyland FastPass? The current paid priority service is Disney Premier Access (DPA), offering one-time priority access to selected attractions or entertainment areas. Filipino travelers should download the official app, buy park admission separately, and bring the original passport used for booking.

😆 Pro Tip: Book your flights from Manila to Shanghai, Shanghai hotels, and Shanghai Disneyland ticket early. Download the Shanghai Disney Resort Official App before your visit to link your ticket and check the latest Disney Premier Access options.

What Is Disney Premier Access at Shanghai Disneyland?

Shanghai Disney Resort

Disney Premier Access is a paid service that can provide:

  • One-time priority access to a selected attraction
  • Priority access to several attractions included in a DPA set
  • Entry to a reserved viewing area for selected shows or parades
  • Early Park Entry and priority entrance when included in an eligible DPA Deluxe Set

DPA does not include general park admission unless you purchase a package that specifically combines a Shanghai Disneyland ticket with DPA. Priority access can shorten the regular queue, but it does not guarantee immediate boarding or zero waiting time.

Each DPA is linked to one guest’s park ticket or Annual Pass. It cannot be shared, transferred, or resold. Guests aged three and above need their own DPA.

✈️ Pro Tip: If you are planning a trip soon, look for flights to Shanghai early so you can get better prices and more schedule options.

Check the live price displayed in the Shanghai Disney Resort Official App or another official sales channel before confirming your purchase. Filipino travelers should also check the latest RMB-to-PHP conversion through their payment provider.

How to Buy DPA Using the Official App

Step 1: Download the Official App

Shanghai Disneyland App

Download the Shanghai Disney Resort Official App before your trip. You can create an account using a mobile number or email address.

The app also provides park maps, attraction wait times, entertainment schedules, ticket management, and trip-planning tools.

Step 2: Purchase Your Park Ticket

You need valid admission for the same visit date before purchasing DPA. Enter the guest’s information exactly as shown on the passport.

DPA alone cannot be used to enter Shanghai Disneyland.

Step 3: Link Your Ticket

Sign in to the Official App and scan the QR code on your park ticket or Annual Pass. You can also link the tickets of family members or friends and create one party.

For most same-day DPA purchases through the app, every guest included in the party must have already entered the park.

Step 4: Select Disney Premier Access

How to Buy DPA Using the Official App

Choose “Buy Disney Premier Access” and select:

  • A single attraction
  • An entertainment experience
  • A Carefree or Adventure Set
  • A Deluxe Set, when available

Review the price, included experiences, designated starting times, height requirements, and validity period carefully.

Step 5: Select the Correct Guest

Each DPA must be assigned to the correct park ticket holder. The guest using DPA must match the photo and identity linked to that ticket.

The person completing the purchase must be at least 18 years old. At least one guest in the group must be aged 16 or above.

Step 6: Complete Payment

Full payment is required when booking. Available payment methods can depend on the sales channel, so check the options displayed at checkout.

Step 7: Redeem Your DPA

For attractions, visit the Priority Access entrance between the designated starting time and the attraction’s closing time.

For entertainment, arrive at the reserved viewing area during the return window shown in the app.

Show either:

  • The DPA QR code under “My Plan” in the Official App
  • The QR code on the linked park ticket or Annual Pass

Each DPA can only be used once for its selected attraction or entertainment experience.

Can You Book DPA Before Entering Shanghai Disneyland?

Some DPA products can be booked in advance after you have valid park admission for the same date. The available advance-purchase dates, products, prices, and inventory are displayed through the official sales channels.

However, guests purchasing Carefree Sets, Adventure Sets, entertainment experiences, or single experiences through the Official App on the visit date must generally enter the park first.

Download the app and prepare your account before visiting so you can check the available options quickly.

When Is the Best Time to Buy DPA?

Shanghai Disney Resort

There is no official guaranteed sell-out time. Availability changes according to the visit date, attraction status, and demand.

Consider checking DPA as soon as possible when:

  • You only have one day at Shanghai Disneyland
  • You have several must-try attractions
  • You are visiting with young children
  • Regular wait times are already long
  • You want a reserved area for a specific show

On a quieter day, compare the live standby wait time with the DPA price before purchasing. You may be able to use regular queues first and buy DPA later, but availability is not guaranteed.

Who would've thought of such a magical design where touching Mickey on the headboard makes him light up? This stay with my child at the Disneyland Hotel has truly won me over! From the moment we stepped into the lobby, I was captivated by the elegant, luxurious, and comfortable American-style design – giant fresh floral arrangements and vintage wooden furniture, every snap looked like it was straight out of a magazine. My top three delightful surprises were: 1. Every detail in the room hides a fairytale surprise! That light-up Mickey headboard gave my 12-year-old an unexpected and amazing experience, the emotional value alone was worth it! 2. Disneyland Hotel offers a ferry service to and from the park, a lifesaver for tired feet! If you get tired in the afternoon, you can head back to the hotel to rest, with ferries every 20 minutes, it's super convenient. Then you can go back to the park in the evening without any stress. 3. Every staff member is like a walking Disney map, even the cleaning staff can accurately help with directions. My tried and tested magical tips: Go for check-in at 8 AM sharp! If you don't specify a floor, I found you can get your room key and check in early. The combo of a half-day ticket on the first day and an early entry pass for the second day is a great deal: enter the park at 3 PM to scout things out, and then during the evening fireworks, you can ride attractions without any queues. Bring an empty water bottle! There's a water dispenser on every floor of the hotel, and it's super convenient to refill with drinking water in the park. The only downside... probably feeling a bit reluctant to check out and wanting to stay longer 😂

This hotel near Disney is truly stunning, with a great ambiance and unique architecture. It's so peaceful compared to the hustle and bustle of Disney. It's only a 10-minute walk to Disneyland, and there's a shuttle buggy that runs between the hotel's gate and the lobby, which is quite convenient. The hotel's dinner and breakfast selection is limited, and the restaurant is small and has mosquitoes. The concierge at the front desk has mosquito repellent if you need it. The service, however, was quite average. For example, when I asked the restaurant about mosquito repellent, they said they didn't have any, but when I asked the front desk myself, they did. The restaurant is right across from the front desk, so they could practically hear our conversation. The restaurant staff seemed indifferent. What was even more outrageous was when I felt breathless and anxious at night and called to ask if they had a blood pressure monitor or oximeter. They said no. I then asked if they could call an ambulance, and they replied that the nearest hospital was about a 30-minute drive away. When I asked if they could help arrange a taxi, I was told that wasn't possible and I'd have to hail one myself to the hospital. This isn't the kind of response you'd expect from a five-star hotel; they seemed completely unconcerned about the guest's safety. Luckily, after resting for a bit, my discomfort subsided. I've had similar experiences at other five-star hotels where the staff were incredibly caring, constantly calling to check on my condition. The difference between dedicated and unhelpful service is stark.

Everything else was fine, but they made me wait an hour and a half to check in. The platform clearly states check-in is at 2 PM, but we didn't get into our room until 3:40 PM! That's an hour and a half wasted! I asked if I could do laundry, and the front desk said yes. After paying and dropping it off, I was told it would take 5 hours, and they said they'd deliver it to my room, but they didn't. I had to call several times to finally get it! Overall, it was decent, but the check-in wait was way too long! It feels like they're misleading customers. Plus, there's a clear no-smoking policy in the room, so I don't know how that burn mark got on the side of the bed!

To start off, service and cleanliness is exceptional, there’s no place where I have been to with this level of service and cleanliness. They take care of you as an individual (for example, they give advice and tips on where we want to go). They provide absolutely delicious home cook breakfast. Location is perfect if you want to go Disney. 100% will recommend anyone who travels to Shanghai for Disneyland to choose this wonderful home stay.

Booked this hotel through Trip.com, and it was the Toy Story Hotel at Disneyland. The location is excellent, with very convenient transportation; there's a continuous shuttle bus to the park. The hotel faces the sea, and the lobby has a strong artistic and luxurious style, really emphasizing a 'family-friendly' vibe, making you feel like you're already in the park. The hotel offers a wealth of free family and children's facilities, including a fun family space. The room layout is well-designed and cozy, immersing you in a technological fantasy world. They provided various complimentary drinks and slippers, which made my child incredibly happy – they didn't want to leave the room! The bed was very comfortable, and the bedding and linens were pristine, giving a sense of peace of mind. The front desk staff were highly professional and exceptionally service-oriented, attentive and caring like family. It was my birthday month, and they even gave me a small gift, which I deeply appreciated! Every other staff member greeted us warmly. The entire hotel staff, from top to bottom, were incredibly enthusiastic, meticulous, and thoughtful, making us feel at home and very warm. It provided the absolute best stay experience. The entire hotel was exceptionally clean, with no hidden corners, and the bathroom was super clean with excellent water pressure for a very comfortable shower. Check-out was simple and quick, with no need to wait for room inspection. WiFi coverage was seamless throughout the hotel. Breakfast was incredibly rich with delicious food, making it a top choice for a family vacation with kids. I'll definitely stay here again next time and highly recommend it to friends.

This Disney homestay really won me over! 🎀 For my recent trip to Disney, I discovered an amazing guesthouse that I absolutely have to recommend to everyone! 🏠 Guesthouse Name: Shanghai Ruyi Pavilion Special Guesthouse 📍 Location: Super close to Disney, about a 10-minute drive. The owner offers shuttle service, which is incredibly convenient! 🌳 Environment: The room is decorated very warmly, the bedding is comfortable, and the hygiene is really well-maintained. 💁♀️ Service: The owner is so enthusiastic and thoughtful! 🍽 Dining: The breakfast selection is good, and everything tastes great. 💰 Value for money: Among guesthouses around Disney, the price is genuinely fair. It's hard to find such good facilities and service at a similar price point. Staying at this guesthouse really added a lot to my Disney trip. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Disney!

The B&B is relatively close to Disneyland. In the morning, the store is responsible for sending us to the entrance of the scenic area. It is very convenient to take the bus directly to the hotel when we come back. It is very convenient to go back to the city and the store helps to send us to the subway station. After a day of playing, they turned on the air conditioner in advance and the room was not cold. The children like the bunk beds and find it interesting. The hot water shower has a strong water pressure. There is a simple breakfast. I am satisfied 😀

The location was great and easy to find, though it was a bit of a walk from the subway station. We even caught the Disney fireworks display right as we were approaching! The inn had little lights on its roof that were visible from afar. Check-in was smooth, and we were escorted to our room. Breakfast was delivered to our room the next morning and had such a wide variety of dishes that my child and I couldn't even finish it all! 😄 They also offer a shuttle service to Disney, which was incredibly convenient. I'd definitely consider staying at this guesthouse again on our next trip!

Very close to Disneyland, with shuttle service to the park. The B&B is simple and the service is good. The room I booked is smaller and on the north side. The boss waited for the room to be vacant and changed it to a room on the south side. He paid the difference, which was very good. The backrest is thin, and it fits the air conditioner just right. I thought it was too thin and asked for a quilt, but I didn't use it. Everyone should also refine their requirements when booking. I also asked the boss in advance to help turn on the air conditioner before returning at night, and pick me up when I return from the park at night. The service is very good.

【High-Value Family B&B Experience Near Disney】A Perfect Holiday Home for Two Adults and Two Children. Parents bringing their kids to Disney, listen up! This original B&B by Mr. Gao & Ms. Feng is definitely worth saving! As first-time Disney visitors, our whole family had an unexpectedly wonderful experience: **Space Magician**: The 40+ sqm space is incredibly well-utilized. The slide in the room made the kids scream with delight the moment they walked in! My 6-year-old and 4-year-old immediately turned the slide area into their secret base. Sleeping on the 1.8-meter main bed with mom was completely comfortable for both kids, and dad got plenty of rest on the bottom bunk of the 1.2-meter bunk bed. **Parent-Child Detail Obsessive's Dream**: Corner protectors and outlet covers are fully equipped. The children's showerhead is at just the right height, and a thoughtful step stool is provided at the washbasin. Details truly matter here. **Behind-the-Scenes Dedication**: The owner personally cleans all rooms and public areas. All linens are washed in-house, not outsourced. Toiletries, drinking water, and snacks are all high-quality brands, often the same ones the owners or their children use. So, features like a wet/dry separation bathroom, Laifen hairdryer, and JmGO projector, which would be praised elsewhere, almost go unnoticed here. **Hidden Disney Tips**: The owner provided many practical tips for our park visit, saving us a lot of trouble! At checkout, my daughter was given a small drink, which she said tasted great, and kept asking her mom to buy more on the way home. **Suggestions for Improvement**: I hope a detachable bed rail can be added to the side of the bed (for more peace of mind when sleeping with younger children). Providing stroller rental would be even better. Although slightly more expensive than surrounding B&Bs, enjoying private butler-style service for 200 RMB per person is incredibly good value! We didn't get to experience the large lawn in the yard, the mini-pool in the backyard, or the rooftop terrace this time, but they've left us plenty to look forward to. It looks like our accommodation for our second Disney trip in a few years has already been pre-booked!

Originally, I booked the Bell but got upgraded to the Ayesha. The Bell is that single red house with glass windows on the outside, which can get a bit damp on rainy days. The staff were all very warm, polite, and friendly. If you're a family of two adults and two children, it offers good value for money. The only downside is that getting a taxi can be a hassle; after leaving Disney, you have to walk to the ride-hailing pick-up/drop-off point. The hotel only provides one complimentary transfer. When taking a taxi back, be sure to pay attention to your location, as the buildings are quite spread out. I got dropped off at the wrong one and wasted 16 yuan unnecessarily. The disposable amenities were excellent; I specifically wanted to mention them as I hadn't seen others post about them, so you can pack a little lighter.

The location is located in the forest but there's no light surrounding during night . There are 3 pet dogs who live nearby (one of them is friendly). During winters the place is almost empty. Best for solo or couple travels. Sauna in winter is a must try. Overall the room needs a little repairing but it's not that noticable. The rooms are pretty large and provide all amenities. Each room is calm a provides a retreat for a peaceful vacation. The Breakfast lady is nice and hospitable. Breakfast included milk, croissant , a pastry an egg and a bowl of wontons. All snacks and fruits provided in room are complimentary. Overall a nice place for short weekend trip. In morning one can have a morning walk around forest or bike ( during winters the bike become a bit rusty though). The place also provides Kayaking in the nearby lake for 100 RMB / 3 hrs . It's best to enjoy kayaking in summers. Will visit here again. Also the place doesn't provide dinner but there are 2 nearby places providing good food. Make sure to take a torch along the way to restaurants at night as it gets quite dark.

Pros: 1. This is probably the closest well-known brand hotel to Disney. The shuttle service is excellent, with frequent trips covering Disney, the airport, and the train station (Image 1). 2. The room was clean and the staff were friendly! The minibar offered free chips and drinks, though unfortunately, it was a fixed selection of only two cans per day (Image 7). There was plenty of complimentary bottled water. Cons: 1. The room lighting was too dim, especially in the bathroom. I suggest increasing the wattage of the lights. 2. The bathroom lacked hooks or other facilities to hang clothes or towels. I highly recommend adding hooks. 3. The showerhead needs to be replaced; the spray area is too small. I suggest checking out the Courtyard by Marriott Puxi for reference. 4. The closet was narrow and long, with very little hanging space, so it couldn't accommodate many coats (Image 6). 5. It would be perfect if they could add a FamilyMart convenience store at the entrance, similar to the nearby Novotel (which even shares the same airport shuttle bus!).

The room was a bit dated, but the bathroom fixtures seemed to have been updated. The faucets, showerhead, and toilet were all Kohler, which was excellent; the shower pressure was great and very refreshing. Though, the toilet lid didn't have a soft-close feature, so it made a loud noise when closed.

This was my first time staying in an RV, and it was a really unique experience! The owner even upgraded our room for free, which made our stay very comfortable. The location is quite close to Disneyland, about a 15 to 20-minute walk. This was great because after the park closed in the evening, we didn't have to deal with the peak crowds on the subway or queue for a taxi. The breakfast was also pretty good, and they even had two stir-fried dishes, which changed daily.

I stayed at Qing Shu Homestay many years ago, and I've chosen it again without hesitation after comparing it to other newly opened hotels recently. It's so convenient with its pickup and drop-off service, which is a great personal touch, and breakfast is included. It's very close to Disneyland and quiet at night. I booked a twin room, which was very spacious, equipped with hangers and a dehumidifier. Everything was great, except for the showerhead in the bathroom, which could use an upgrade. I'd suggest adding some Disney-themed fabric sofas and maybe some Zootopia stickers on the walls to enhance the atmosphere. I hope this great value-for-money homestay continues to improve and thrive!

Extremely satisfied with my guesthouse stay! The room was spacious and well-soundproofed, and everything was clean and tidy. The amenities were even more comprehensive than a hotel's, they even provided disposable bathtub liners! Breakfast was plentiful too. The owner is the 'gets things done, no-nonsense' type – doesn't chat much or ask too many questions, but all your needs are perfectly taken care of. Since there's no elevator, the owner helped carry our luggage upstairs, and they arranged pick-up and drop-off to both the subway station and Disneyland. It's less than a ten-minute drive to Disneyland, and they even have strollers for rent through a partner, which was great value for money. A very satisfying experience overall. I imagine the small courtyard would be even more beautiful in summer. I'd definitely come back if I have the chance!

The room was spacious and very clean. The owner was incredibly kind and helped us immediately whenever we encountered any issues. There's a shuttle service once in the morning and once in the evening, which is very convenient for getting to and from Disneyland since it's so close. The 'wedding candy' and 'love letter' were in the same spot, which was a nice touch.

The room was incredibly clean! The owner, a lovely lady, was also super nice. She even prepared breakfast for us early in the morning and gave us directions. She's really easy to talk to, and the guesthouse is close to the subway, making it very convenient for getting around! I'll definitely choose Shiguang Xiaoyuan again next time I'm in Shanghai!

The lady is super friendly and helpful, but only speak Mandarin. no worries if you don't speak Mandarin as she will use the translator machine to translate it. She assisted me with the food delivery service and offered plenty of help whenever i needed it. The room was clean and comfy, with everything we needed. Free transportation to/from Disneyland , just a 5-minute ride. With this, we took our time to watch the fabulous fireworks at Disneyland without rushing to MRT or didi/ taxi back to our homestay

I met a heart-warming B&B on this quiet path. The room is decorated in a picturesque way, as if every step you take steps into the owner's artistic realm. The considerate and considerate service will make the fatigue of the journey disappear instantly. The delicious food is intoxicating, and the starry sky at night is particularly bright and peaceful. This is not only a place to rest, but also a spiritual home. Recommended to everyone who wants to find a moment of peace! 🌟🏠✨

DPA Refund and Date-Change Rules

Disney Premier Access is generally:

  • Non-transferable
  • Not for resale
  • Non-refundable unless otherwise required by law
  • Valid only for the guest and ticket linked to the product
  • Valid once during the stated validity period

Under the current official terms, an eligible DPA product may be changed to a new date up to two times. The replacement must have the same value, remain subject to availability, and be completed at least 48 hours before 00:00 on the original entitlement date.

If an experience in a DPA set closes because of maintenance or another unforeseen situation, the set price does not automatically decrease. Shanghai Disney Resort may provide an alternative attraction according to its terms.

🥳 Pro Tip: Getting a China eSIM can help you stay connected while traveling in China.

Tips for Using DPA Efficiently

  • Link everyone’s park ticket to one account if one person will manage the group.
  • Check the designated starting time for every experience in a DPA set.
  • Do not assume all attractions in one set begin at the same time.
  • Check the park map before booking experiences located far apart.
  • Review height restrictions before buying DPA for children.
  • Keep your phone charged and have the DPA QR code ready.
  • Monitor the Official App for attraction closures and schedule changes.
  • Bring the original passport used for the park ticket booking.
  • Guests under seven must be accompanied by someone aged 16 or above when experiencing attractions.
