Disney Properties in Shanghai

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!

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!
