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.

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.

It truly feels like living in a fairytale; nobody could possibly dislike this hotel. Cleanliness: Although it has been open for quite a while, the facilities and equipment are exceptionally well-maintained, and the rooms are very clean. They even provide complimentary little gifts—who doesn't love receiving gifts 🎁? It instantly puts you in a great mood~ Environment: The landscaping and greenery are gorgeous, and security is top-notch since only hotel guests are allowed into the area. Getting to Disneyland by boat or dedicated shuttle is super convenient. The shuttles run frequently, and neither boats nor buses are crowded. Service: Every single staff member has a strong sense of service, and their smiles are genuinely heartfelt—it doesn't feel like they're forced to work at all, haha! But of course, the service is bound to be exceptional since this is the best hotel at Disneyland. Its activities, atmosphere, and price are simply unmatched by any other hotel.

The hotel's location is truly fantastic, very close to Disney, making it super convenient for getting around and sightseeing ✨. The room's color scheme design is stylish, with a strong retro vibe. The color matching is high-end and comfortable, and the hardware facilities are complete, with spacious bathrooms. The common areas are very unique, and the giant bookshelf in the lobby is perfect for photos. The hotel grounds are beautiful, and you can even see cute alpacas. The overall experience was great, full of a resort feel, and very suitable for a Disney trip.

This is a Japanese-style ryokan where rooms are spread across individual two-story buildings, offering a relatively private and quiet environment. The rooms are spacious, and each comes with its own independent entrance. The hotel provides a shuttle bus that takes about 5 minutes to reach Disneyland, and morning and evening transfers can be reserved. In the morning, you generally only need to wait about 10 minutes to board the 7-seater van. For the evening, booking two hours in advance is usually sufficient to get on the bus on time, and the driver will also call to coordinate. The drop-off and pick-up point is located right next to the Disneyland metro and bus lines, and it takes about a 10-minute walk to get to Disneyland. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Especially considering that most surrounding hotels cost over 1,000 RMB (4 digits), we managed to snag a special rate under 1,000 RMB, making it very good value for money. Highly recommended for a stay.

Before the New Year, we went on a spontaneous trip with one child and one adult. The experience was beyond our expectations when we stayed at Xianshe Villa for our visit to Shanghai Disneyland. The environment was clean and tidy, the housekeeper service was warm and considerate, the auntie's breakfast was nutritious, and the driver picked us up at Disneyland safely and on time. The villa provided both the warmth of home and the services and supporting facilities of a five-star hotel. The experience was perfect. My child is already looking forward to staying at Xianshe Villa for the next Disney trip with her classmates and bestie.

We stayed for 2 nights for our disneyland trip. Totally worth it! All staff are very friendly and supporting. Explained well about the perks and shuttle bus, hotel guests got special discount at lotso shop too. Location wise very good, got early pass (special gate entry) from others who did not stay at disney hotels. For families, they got connecting room so it would be easier for us to communicate as family. Love it, will repeat tbh Amenities are great, they gave whatever we requested! Room are clean and cute, got small gifts and some disney stickers. Honestly 2 nights arent enough

The room is very clean and tidy. The children like this kind of loft room very much. They were very excited when they arrived. The B&B is very close to Disney. It takes less than five minutes to drive there. The boss will pick you up personally and will pick you up on time no matter what time it is. It is very close to the subway station, and the boss is also responsible for picking up and dropping off, so it is very convenient to travel. The boss also shared the Disney travel guide with us, which was very helpful. It saved a lot of time for our trip to Disney and improved our trip to Disney. Provided meticulous service and had a satisfying rest. The breakfast is also very rich, and everyone likes it, especially the scallion noodles with coriander freshly picked from the fields. There is a rice field at the door, and you can drink fresh organic rice porridge, which is delicious. The tiredness of visiting Disneyland is gone with the aroma of rice porridge. The owner and his family are very kind, considerate and thoughtful. I will choose here again next time I come to Disneyland.

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!

FULL EXPERIENCE OF STAYING!! We stayed for 3 nights, (Visited Disneyland and Shanghai Wild animal zoo) From airport you can take airport line and take off at the next stop which is “Shanghai International Resort” and call a taxi from there. Its way more cheaper. They have driving services for your itinerary. Like Disneyland. Both pick up and drive! So convenient! And its free, you can just tell them your time and location, and they will come and pick up or take you there. For their complementary breakfast, ITS SO GOOD. I am picky eater, and never enjoy eating Chinese food, but it really doesn’t have any Chinese taste. They also have drinking water fountains in the kitchen lobby area. And they also said free coffee (but I don’t drink coffee so didn’t try or ask it) For location, nearby environment is literally empty. Only highway road. NO CONVENIENCE STORE! Nearest is 20min walk from the hostel. (One way) If you are planning to buy that China Mainland esim, you can’t deliver food. So if you get hungry, you can go to their reception and order some finger foods or buy something from their vending machine thing? (But machine needs phone number, so basically you still need to ask a help from the owner to buy you first and transfer him later) Staffs has great communication and hospitality. But no english. So use translator to communicate. And I don’t have to talk about their rooms and cleanness. Its just so good everything smells great and super clean. They also will change the bed sheets and refill everything during your stay! Overall its really great hostel with pretty good price and facilities. I would say you won’t regret at all! Have a wonderful stay yall~ Photos of breakfast and outside area are included.

My daughter and I arrived at Disneyland and stayed in a guesthouse. The hosts were very friendly. Everything was clean, and they cooked their own breakfasts – delicious. The room was large and had everything we needed. The host drove us to and picked us up from Disneyland himself. On the day of our departure, he accompanied us to the transfer and carried our suitcase. They were very kind, I highly recommend them! Thank you! 🫶

【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!

I can highly recommend this Forest Resort. The hotel is located in a small forest/park surrounded by villages making it a very calm and quiet place. The hotel provides free bikes for forest exploration, tasty breakfast, ice machine, coffee, and so much more. The biggest highlight is the staff. Everyone is kind and welcoming. We are especially grateful to Kelvin, who knows English and has a lot of knowledge about tea and more. The room was very clean and spacious. The bed is comfortable. Hot spring is big enough, and very relaxing. In top, there is also a bath pub. Perfect for those who enjoy relaxing in hot water. The atmosphere is very relaxing and friendly, partly due to the dog XiǎoQī who is a huge fan of belly rubbing. Also, I highly recommend doing the tea ceremony.

Excellent for families. If you’re looking for somewhere close to Disneyland than this is your spot. Rooms are spacious enough for a family of four. We were lucky to get an upgrade to a themed room. It meant our youngest sleep in the tent which the themed rooms have. Otherwise, I think it would have been a squeeze on the two double beds. The shuttle bus is a breeze, Just needs to be booked the day before. We were here during golden week and it wasn’t a problem. The breakfast buffet is probably one of the best I’ve seen in my travels.  There is a kids play area plus a craft workshop that the kids spent a couple of hours in. Also recommend checking out Guansha Ancient village close by.

The hotel environment is great, and the room facilities are very complete. The most outstanding aspect is the service—the attitude and attention to detail are superb. This is the first time I've experienced a handwritten welcome card in a non-butler-style hotel. I particularly want to praise the front desk staff, who were incredibly enthusiastic and had an amazing attitude. I've never encountered such excellent service outside of five-star chain hotels. Also, a big thumbs up to the hotel staff who helped move my belongings and luggage directly to my new room when I switched. Plus, they offer late-night snacks after a day at Disneyland, which really helps relieve the day's fatigue. I will definitely book this hotel again next time I visit Disneyland!

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!

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.

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.
