It was a wonderful experience, everyone is working hard to make us happy. However, there were very few halal snacks and food. We stayed there all day and we we weren’t able to eat but the snacks we had. Every year Muslims who visit the park don’t have anything is enough for them. And the amount of them is a lot. Today I saw over 25 families from GCC countries in one day that isn’t really the season. We need a clean pizza restaurant that serves vegetarian pizza and cheese pizza. And fries as well. But any thing that includes wine or pig related is not allowed, as well as any kind of meat or chicken. Like a vegetarian restaurant. Thanks for understanding, hope to come back again in the next few years.

Things to Do at Shanghai Disneyland

Shanghai Disneyland is not just for kids. It is a full-day trip where you can enjoy rides, take photos, watch shows, meet Disney characters, and try cute themed snacks. For Filipino travelers, it is best to come early because the park is big, the popular rides can have long lines, and you will want enough time for both attractions and photos.

Here are the must-try experiences inside the park:

1. Zootopia: Hot Pursuit

Zootopia: Hot Pursuit

Located in the Zootopia area, this is one of the most exciting rides at Shanghai Disneyland. You will join Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde on a police chase through different parts of Zootopia. The ride is indoors, fast-moving, and full of fun details, so it is great even if you are not a big thrill ride person.

  • Vibe: Fun, colorful, and very immersive
  • Best for: Families, Zootopia fans, and first-time visitors
  • Tip: Ride this early because the queue can get long during the day

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure

Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure

This is not the usual Pirates ride you may know from other Disney parks. The Shanghai version feels more cinematic, with huge screens, boat movement, music, and detailed scenes that make you feel like you are part of the movie.

  • Vibe: Grand, exciting, and visually amazing
  • Best for: Almost everyone, including families and groups of friends
  • Tip: This is a good ride to try when you want something exciting but not too scary

3. TRON Lightcycle Power Run

 TRON Lightcycle Power Run

TRON Lightcycle Power Run is one of the best rides for thrill seekers. You ride like you are on a futuristic motorcycle, then launch into a dark, neon-style track with fast turns and music.

  • Vibe: Fast, futuristic, and exciting
  • Best for: Travelers who love roller coasters
  • Tip: If you can, try riding at night because the lights make the experience even better

4. Soaring Over the Horizon

Soaring Over the Horizon

Sources: shanghaidisneyresort.com

This ride is perfect if you want something beautiful and relaxing. You sit in front of a huge screen and feel like you are flying over famous places around the world, including mountains, cities, and landmarks.

  • Vibe: Calm, scenic, and family-friendly
  • Best for: Families, couples, and travelers who prefer gentle rides
  • Tip: This is a good choice if you want a break from fast rides

5. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a light roller coaster in Fantasyland. It has small drops, turns, and cute Snow White scenes. It is not too intense, so it is a nice option for families or travelers who want a beginner-friendly coaster.

  • Vibe: Cute, fun, and mildly thrilling
  • Best for: Families with kids and Disney fans
  • Tip: This is a good first coaster if you are not used to fast rides

6. Watch the Parade and Castle Show

Watch the Parade and Castle Show

Sources: shanghaidisneyresort.com

Aside from rides, don’t miss the parade and nighttime castle show. The parade is fun for photos, especially if you want to see Mickey, Minnie, Duffy, and other characters. At night, the castle show feels more magical with lights, music, and fireworks.

  • Best for: First-time visitors and families
  • Tip: Find a viewing spot early, especially at night, because many people wait in front of the castle

7. Take Photos Around the Park

Shanghai Disneyland has many nice photo spots, especially near the Enchanted Storybook Castle, Zootopia, Mickey Avenue, Toy Story Land, and Treasure Cove. If you love taking travel photos, make time to walk around instead of only rushing from ride to ride.

  • Best for: Couples, friends, and family photos
  • Tip: Take castle photos in the morning if you want fewer people in the background

8. Try Disney Snacks and Buy Souvenirs

Disney Snacks

World of Disney Store

Sources: shanghaidisneyresort.com

  • Tip: Buy souvenirs before leaving the park, but avoid the last-minute rush near closing time

Shanghai Disneyland Fireworks Timing

A perfect way to end your Shanghai Disneyland trip is by watching ILLUMINATE! A Nighttime Celebration at the Enchanted Storybook Castle. It is more than just fireworks. The show combines castle projections, Disney music, lights, fountains, lasers, fireworks, and special effects for a magical night finale. The official entertainment page lists it as a nighttime entertainment show at Gardens of Imagination.

Performance Timing

The show usually happens in the evening, often around park closing time. On some dates, it may be scheduled around 8:00 PM or 9:15 PM, depending on the park hours and crowd level. Since the schedule can change daily, always check the Shanghai Disney Resort app or official website on the morning of your visit.

The show follows a seven-part journey about dreams, courage, and finding your inner light.

  • Light Is In You: Discovering the light that guides your dreams
  • Ignite the Dream: Following your passion and wishes
  • Into the Shadows: Facing fear and challenges
  • Light the Darkness: Finding courage during hard moments

  • Light Is In You: Ending with a bright and magical finale

Tips for Filipino Travelers

  • Find a spot near Gardens of Imagination for a better castle view
  • Arrive 1 to 2 hours early if you want a clear viewing spot
  • Bring snacks or drinks while waiting
  • Save your phone battery for photos and videos
  • Bring a power bank because the show is one of the best moments to record
  • Bad weather, strong wind, fog, lightning, or poor air quality may affect the fireworks or cause schedule changes
  • Even if fireworks are adjusted, the castle lights and projections may still continue depending on the situation

Except for the price, there's nothing wrong with the hotel. It's now 30% more expensive than the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, which is crazy! The staff were all very friendly and greeted us proactively. I accidentally left my car window open in the parking lot and only realized it the next day. A staff member had covered the window securely with a black plastic bag – I was so touched! We booked the Dreamy Fantasyland Room. Since my child is over 12, we paid an extra 299 RMB (I think that was the price), which was like a rollaway bed fee, and she happily slept on the fireplace bed. For the 10th anniversary, the room came with some small gifts, and since it was my birthday, I also received a birthday badge, stickers, and a small cake. To accommodate the 'Extra Hour of Fun' event on Friday and Saturday nights in July, Mickey Avenue was open until 11:30 PM, and the Star Gazer's Cruise also ran until 11:30 PM. A big thank you to all the hard-working staff!

The resort is beautiful, giving you the feeling of having a private estate all to yourself. It's very close to Disneyland, and there's a free shuttle available all the time from the hotel lobby to the roadside entrance. The front desk staff are absolutely wonderful – so warm and attentive. As soon as they see someone approach, they immediately stand up and ask if they need assistance. The two gentlemen at the front desk, pictured here, were especially great; seeing that we had two children, they even upgraded us to a family room. The hotel blankets are very soft, and the plants in the courtyard are stunning. The only slight unpleasantness was at breakfast. The gentleman working in the breakfast area was incredibly kind, making sure no guest felt neglected, and even had his apprentice with him to train him. He was consistently enthusiastic. However, there was a 'Miss Grumpy' in the breakfast area who seemed to be in a bad mood, spoke unhappily, kept looking at her watch, and had a dismissive attitude, almost like she was looking down on people – a real 'Shanghai princess' vibe. I believe that if you're in the service industry, you need to have a service spirit and consciousness, not act as if you're superior just because you're in Shanghai. If it weren't for 'Miss Grumpy,' I would give this hotel a perfect score.

After a disappointing experience at our previous hotel, we booked this one in the middle of the night. Thankfully, our reservation was confirmed instantly, allowing us to move over immediately. From the moment we arrived, the reception team was warm, friendly, and incredibly efficient. Check-in was seamless, and we were pleasantly surprised by our beautiful room—it was spacious, spotless, and exceptionally comfortable. The amenities were excellent. We especially loved having a private in-room onsen, while the public onsen was equally relaxing. Although our room was quite a distance from the lobby, the hotel’s complimentary buggy service made getting around quick and convenient. What truly stood out was the outstanding service. The staff responded to our requests almost instantly and even went above and beyond to help coordinate my ******* food delivery. Since ******* drivers aren’t allowed to enter this area, you’ll need to pay a small additional fee for the driver to walk in. Our guest services team handled the communication with the driver and ensured the food was delivered directly to our room. We genuinely felt well looked after throughout our stay. Another huge plus is the complimentary shuttle service to Disneyland, making this hotel an excellent choice for anyone planning a Disney trip. After such a stressful start to our holiday, this hotel completely turned things around. With its exceptional service, beautiful rooms, excellent facilities, and convenient Disneyland shuttle, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended!

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.

This time, my experience was much better than last! The room had no strange smells, and the overall cleanliness was great. Even though it was still quite crowded this time (probably due to the summer holiday), everything was well-organized. Check-in was smooth, and I managed to catch the shuttle bus downstairs at 7:25 AM, though it didn't drop us off until around 7:40 AM after waiting a bit for it to depart. Still, pretty good! **Environment:** Excellent! **Round-trip shuttle bus from hotel to Disneytown:** We only left at 7:25 AM (because we were really pushing it with time, it was already quite late!). After waiting a bit, we were dropped off at the entrance at 7:40 AM. I recommend heading straight for TRON Lightcycle Power Run first – it's my favorite! However, when we got there, we already had to queue for half an hour, so if you can wake up earlier, definitely do so! **Early Park Entry (up to 1 hour before opening):** It was useful! We only rode TRON Lightcycle Power Run, which was great. But I managed to get a lot of photos with no other guests! Also, while walking from Tomorrowland towards Toy Story Land, we happened to catch Mickey and Minnie doing their thing before the park even opened. It only took 8-10 minutes to queue, which I wasn't thrilled about. But the staff told me, 'Oh my goodness, you have no idea, it usually takes two hours to queue for this!' So we waited for a bit and got to interact with them! Satisfied!

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!

After a disappointing experience at our previous hotel, we booked this one in the middle of the night. Thankfully, our reservation was confirmed instantly, allowing us to move over immediately. From the moment we arrived, the reception team was warm, friendly, and incredibly efficient. Check-in was seamless, and we were pleasantly surprised by our beautiful room—it was spacious, spotless, and exceptionally comfortable. The amenities were excellent. We especially loved having a private in-room onsen, while the public onsen was equally relaxing. Although our room was quite a distance from the lobby, the hotel’s complimentary buggy service made getting around quick and convenient. What truly stood out was the outstanding service. The staff responded to our requests almost instantly and even went above and beyond to help coordinate my ******* food delivery. Since ******* drivers aren’t allowed to enter this area, you’ll need to pay a small additional fee for the driver to walk in. Our guest services team handled the communication with the driver and ensured the food was delivered directly to our room. We genuinely felt well looked after throughout our stay. Another huge plus is the complimentary shuttle service to Disneyland, making this hotel an excellent choice for anyone planning a Disney trip. After such a stressful start to our holiday, this hotel completely turned things around. With its exceptional service, beautiful rooms, excellent facilities, and convenient Disneyland shuttle, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended!

I visited Qianyun after looking at dozens of places in the area. I wanted to be away from typical city area, have a bathtub and nice outdoor area, and with easy access to Shanghai Disneyland. Qianyun met all those requirements and more! The location was immediately very serene and surrounded by forest, but still easy to access lots of waimai food delivery options. They were also very kind and proactive about sharing information about local restaurants and activities, and provide a breakfast and evening fruit every day. They offer free car transport to Disneyland, and I was excited to use this service but I ended up enjoying my time at the hotel so much that I opted to stay and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere instead! The hotel pets are so friendly - within five minutes the little cat Banban was on my lap and purring. The room itself is decorated very nicely with all the amenities you need. The bathtub inside is very comfortable and I loved the outdoor hot spring tub as well. The attention to hygiene is very highly emphasized and I was impressed with how clean and luxurious everything felt. I will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone hoping to have a convenient getaway from the city, or who would like to be near to Disneyland Resort while also experiencing a more peaceful area and for a good economical value and high quality service! Thankyou for the wonderful stay, I felt very welcome at all times.

Except for the price, there's nothing wrong with the hotel. It's now 30% more expensive than the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, which is crazy! The staff were all very friendly and greeted us proactively. I accidentally left my car window open in the parking lot and only realized it the next day. A staff member had covered the window securely with a black plastic bag – I was so touched! We booked the Dreamy Fantasyland Room. Since my child is over 12, we paid an extra 299 RMB (I think that was the price), which was like a rollaway bed fee, and she happily slept on the fireplace bed. For the 10th anniversary, the room came with some small gifts, and since it was my birthday, I also received a birthday badge, stickers, and a small cake. To accommodate the 'Extra Hour of Fun' event on Friday and Saturday nights in July, Mickey Avenue was open until 11:30 PM, and the Star Gazer's Cruise also ran until 11:30 PM. A big thank you to all the hard-working staff!

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!).

This might be okay for camping, but not really suitable as a hotel. As soon as I turned on the exhaust fan, black debris started falling. Just after sitting on the sofa, I spotted long cobwebs. There were spiderwebs in several places. The wall-mounted air conditioner in the main double bed area blew directly onto the bed, while the bunk beds at the other end got no air circulation at all. The person sleeping on the double bed was freezing at night. The AC fan blades, even when adjusted upwards, would slowly drop down on their own. Plus, the bed was very short; my feet would hang off if I moved even a little. Directly facing the bed was a large, uncovered mirror. Although the bunk beds were single, they actually offered decent space, similar to a high-speed train. However, they were separated from the bathroom by just a board, and the automatic toilet flush would wake up anyone sleeping there. The environment itself was undeniably beautiful: lush trees, chirping insects and birds. But every time I opened the door, I had to shoo away mosquitoes. Entering required careful timing to rush in and prevent mosquitoes from flying inside with me. Throughout the night, I swatted several mosquitoes, flies, and moths. The mosquito repellent provided was the old-fashioned mosquito coil pad type. Even with it on and the window open all night, one of my companions still felt very uncomfortable and nauseous. It's about a 10-minute walk to the Disney metro station, but the actual entrance to Disney is still quite a distance away. However, that's more an issue with Disney's layout.

Fantastic! 👍 The environment is clean, and the owner even upgraded our room! 👍 Awesome! 👍👍👍 Great value for money, and it's very quiet – not noisy at all at night. The owner's service is also excellent and very welcoming. We woke up late, but they still saved breakfast for us! 👍 So thoughtful! 👍 Plus, there's a free shuttle service. The service is incredibly attentive; it's the best choice for accommodation when visiting Disneyland. We'll definitely book this place again next time we visit! 👍👍👍 Highly recommend!

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.

We booked the Frozen-themed room, and my child was so excited as soon as we entered, having a blast on the slide. The staff were incredibly friendly and thoughtful, right from their initial communication before check-in. They also gave us lots of helpful tips for our Disney trip the next day, which saved us a lot of time and made our visit really enjoyable. The free pick-up and drop-off service for a two-night stay was incredibly convenient, especially after watching the fireworks when everyone is leaving and it's hard to find a taxi. Having a driver waiting for you was a fantastic experience. Before we returned to the hotel, the front desk staff even turned on the air conditioning in our room, so it was warm and cozy when we got back – a really thoughtful touch. I highly recommend this guesthouse; I'll definitely choose to stay here again the next time we visit Disneyland.

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!

I stayed in this B&B for two consecutive days. The facilities are very complete and clean, and the soundproofing is quite good. It was very quiet at night. The toiletries are also very exquisite. The hygiene and environment inside and outside the room and the courtyard are very good. As soon as I arrived at the B&B, I felt a full Disney atmosphere. The kids loved it. The owner is very kind and the service is great. It is close to Disney and there is shuttle service. The breakfast is also clean and hygienic. This B&B is super convenient all day long, and the quality and value are good. I strongly recommend renting a stroller from the owner. It is much cheaper than inside Disney. You can also buy Disney headbands here. I think Disney headbands have a good atmosphere. I just want a cheap and beautiful one 😊
