Hotels and park entry

Travelshorts begin their Shanghai Disneyland visit at the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund, then move to the Toy Story Hotel. They take a shuttle to the park, where a power bank issue briefly delays entry. They buy Premier Access passes for eight rides to reduce time spent in queues. Their ride list includes Soarin’, which gives them a Shanghai skyline view, Pirates of the Caribbean and Tron Lightcycle Power Run, a ride Travelshorts had wanted to try for years. The Shanghai Pirates attraction has additions that differ from versions they have experienced elsewhere. Premier Access lets them plan their eight rides around queues, while the official app helps visitors check wait times and show schedules.

The family explores Zootopia, rides Hot Pursuit and takes in details throughout the themed land. They also attend a Frozen singalong, which feels less compelling than other Disney performances to them. They encounter vendors and merchandise sellers in the resort as they move between attractions, adding another unexpected element to their park visit. They sample local snacks and have a Marvel-themed lunch, including a Wagyu burger they enjoy despite its price.

Shows, hotel and Disneytown

The family misses the Jack Sparrow show after being denied entry even though they arrived early. The vlog records their frustration and their discussion of show access. Their Toy Story Hotel room tour shows the themed design; they also note that the hotel does not have a swimming pool.

Their two-day trip includes planning rides and shows, navigating entry rules and finding places to eat. At Disneytown, outside the main park, they browse additional dining and shopping options. The family leaves after two days with favorite rides and setbacks: the power bank issue, the missed show and the hotel’s lack of a pool. They describe both Shanghai-specific attractions and practical choices involved in fitting rides, food, the hotel and Disneytown into their schedule.

The family also discusses how to use the official Disneyland app to check ride waits and showtimes, then prioritize attractions within their available time. Premier Access is an extra purchase, but they choose passes for eight rides to fit more into the two-day visit. They move between high-profile rides, themed lands, food stops and the evening shopping area, balancing the attractions they most want to see against the schedule.
