Based on my research and hands-on booking experience, this guide covers everything you need to know about Shanghai Disneyland’s Disney Premier Access. I’ve included details on purchase channels, pricing structures, redemption steps, eligible attractions, and whether the purchase makes sense for your visit.

Does Shanghai Disneyland Have Fastpass?

The traditional paper "Fastpass" has been replaced by Disney Premier Access (DPA) at Shanghai Disneyland. This is a paid digital upgrade that allows guests to skip the regular standby lines and enjoy priority access to the park’s most popular rides, attractions, and reserved viewing areas for entertainment shows.

With Disney Premier Access, you can maximise your magical day by drastically reducing wait times, leaving you more time to explore, dine, and enjoy the park’s unique atmosphere.

Is the Shanghai Disneyland Fastpass Worth It?

Is the Shanghai Disneyland Fast Pass Worth It?

When assessing whether this upgrade matches your travel style, I recommend looking closely at the calendar:

  • Weekends and Holidays (Highly Recommended): Standby lines for headline attractions routinely escalate to 90–180 minutes. If you are visiting on a Saturday, Sunday, or during public holidays, purchasing a pass is the most practical way to avoid spending your entire day waiting in queues.
  • Mid-Week Regular Days (Optional): On non-holiday Tuesdays through Thursdays, crowd counts drop. If you arrive early at rope drop, you can navigate the park efficiently using standard lines without the added expense.
  • Premium Experience Travellers: If budget limits are flexible, or if you are travelling with young children or elderly family members who cannot tolerate long periods of standing, investing in a Trip.com Deluxe package guarantees a smoother experience.

People's Square Shanghai|0.54km from city centre
Located in a prime downtown spot, it's convenient for getting anywhere. Downstairs is very lively with restaurants, a food street, and a shopping complex all in one. During weekdays in summer, there were many foreign guests... and quite a few elderly Chinese too. The front desk often had queues for check-in, and there were always people waiting for taxis outside. Business was really good, yet the room offered excellent value for money! Thanks for the free upgrade to a deluxe suite~ It was newly renovated. I was on a business trip and decided to bring my mom along so she could relax and enjoy herself. **Facilities** They offer a table tennis room, a swimming pool, and a gym. No robots for food delivery pick-up though. **Hygiene** Clean. **Environment** The overall environment is good. The old five-star hotel is very well maintained; it doesn't feel old or dated. The room was newly renovated, but the sense of space wasn't huge, and the bathroom was a bit small. **Service** The service attitude was excellent and professional.

Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World

9.5/10Outstanding6568 Reviews
People's Square Shanghai|0.47km from city centre
Fantastic central location, right opposite People's Square, close to 3 metro lines including Line 2 which goes almost everywhere (and to the airport in 1 hour), and connected to a huge shopping mall adjacent to the hotel. We had a late arrival due to a flight delay, but the staff was available for check-in. The breakfast was magnificent with a great selection of savory, sweet, Chinese, and continental options – something for everyone, plus superb freshly squeezed orange juice. The family suite was immense, though a bit dated, but it suited us perfectly. Housekeeping was done daily. I was able to communicate with the concierge via WeChat beforehand, and they were very kind. The only reason I'm not giving a 10/10 is that we didn't receive any information about dining at the hotel's restaurants, visiting the bar, or going to the swimming pool. For the pool, we had to find its location ourselves, and it was complicated to figure out which floor it was on relative to our building. We were on the 9th floor: we had to go down to the 8th floor, cross into the adjacent building where the 8th floor became the 6th, and then go up to the 8th floor of the new building 😛 It was hard to figure out and understand where we needed to go. The pool and jacuzzi are great and felt wonderful after a day of sightseeing. Swim caps are mandatory but provided by the lifeguard if you don't have one. There's a magnificent view from the bar located in the upper tower, even if the elevator is tricky to find for going up or down.

Okura Garden Hotel Shanghai

9.3/10Very Good5202 Reviews
Huaihai Road Area Shanghai|1.78km from city centre
Service: Before checking in, I read many reviews complaining about the check-in staff. I definitely experienced it myself. All the staff avoided eye contact; it was hard to find someone to help with check-in, and everyone seemed busy. There was a young man near the elevator entrance who suggested not standing there. He would just lower his head and walk away when he saw guests; I don't know what purpose it served to have someone standing there. The bellhop at the luggage storage was enthusiastic, but I suggest increasing the refrigerated storage space and training staff. They shouldn't advise guests to carry their refrigerated items with them when checking out, especially on such hot days; it's better to leave them in the air-conditioned hotel. The staff at the entrance who helped with luggage and opened car doors were polite, and their service was appreciated. Some of the hosts at the breakfast restaurant were very warm and friendly. Others were not, and some were only friendly towards Japanese guests. The chefs at the cooking stations were all excellent, and the food was delicious. Facilities: Older hotels always have shortcomings in their hardware. As soon as I exited the elevator on the guest floor, I smelled dust, and there was a musty smell in the room. The shower equipment was old and difficult to use, the washbasin was quite low, and the small magnifying mirror for makeup/removing makeup was broken; either you had to hold it up very high to see your face, or it would fall down and still not work. This can't be changed in the short term, so it needs renovation. During renovations, I suggest not installing mirrors facing the bed again. I slept very poorly at night. Cleanliness: The cleanliness was much better than I expected. There was no dust in the nooks and crannies, which was a pleasant surprise. Noise: The room was very close to the elevator, but surprisingly, there was not much noise, which was acceptable. However, there was a regular rumbling sound, which I suspect was the subway passing by; it was very noticeable. The sound disappeared after the subway stopped at night and reappeared in the morning. Overall, it was not a very pleasant experience, but I've tried it. I won't choose this hotel again.

Blossom House Shanghai on the Bund

9.6/10Excellent9323 Reviews
The Bund Area Shanghai|1.73km from city centre
A hidden gem in the bustling city, offering breathtaking Lujiazui night views. After comparing several Bund hotels for our family trip to Shanghai, we finally chose this Hanjin hotel. Its location, design, and service were all exceptional, far exceeding our expectations! 【Prime Location, Super Convenient for Getting Around】 The hotel is located on Renmin Road in Huangpu District, a 5-minute walk from Yu Garden and Chenghuang Temple, and a 10-minute walk to the Bund riverside promenade. Yu Garden Station on Line 10 is just 700 meters away, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the old town and enjoying the Bund night views without constant travel. It even has a free underground parking lot, perfect for those traveling by car. Despite being in a bustling commercial area, the soundproofing in the rooms is excellent. Closing the window completely blocks out street noise, offering a true oasis of tranquility. 【Public Areas Overflowing with Atmosphere, Perfect for Photos】 The entire building boasts a retro Art Deco Shanghai style, with its iconic bronze streamlined entrance being highly recognizable. The lobby is on the 7th floor, and upon entering, we were immediately struck by the giant bamboo glass chandelier. The wooden textures, warm soft lighting, velvet sofas, and brass furnishings perfectly blend with Hanjin's aesthetic, creating a gentle yet sophisticated ambiance. The 8th floor houses the quiet Hanjin Study and Tea Room, while the 11th-floor open-air rooftop garden bar is a must-visit spot. It offers an unobstructed panoramic view, perfect for enjoying the evening breeze and overlooking Lujiazui's 'three-piece suit' and the Oriental Pearl Tower. Sunsets and night views are effortlessly stunning here. The hotel is adorned with floral art everywhere, with flower design details hidden in the elevators and corridors, creating a truly immersive atmosphere. 【Exquisite and Comfortable Guest Room Amenities, River View Rooms are Heavenly】 The entire room features a gentle pink and orange Shanghai-style color scheme, with elegant ink-wash floral walls. It boasts a 65-inch TV with screen casting, a smart toilet, a wet and dry separated bathroom, and an oversized scenic bathtub, making bath time incredibly therapeutic. The bedding is soft and skin-friendly, and the corners are meticulously clean. All drinks and snacks in the mini-bar are complimentary, and free bottled water is always available by the elevators on each floor – a testament to their thoughtful details. The children especially loved it! The front desk offers free popcorn 🍿 in the afternoon, which tastes just like cinema popcorn! The amenities are comprehensive: the 7th-floor buffet breakfast offers a rich variety, covering Chinese, Western, and local specialties; there's a gym and a yoga room for light exercise during leisure time; and the hotel regularly hosts flower arrangement workshops, offering many recreational choices. 【Overall Summary】 This hotel perfectly blends old Shanghai's charm with Hanjin's elegant aesthetic, striking a balance between a bustling location and a peaceful private space. It's suitable for couples, family mini-breaks, and trips with friends. Explore Yu Garden's old streets during the day, stroll along the Bund in the evening, and then return to the hotel's terrace to enjoy the Pudong River night view – it's the top choice for a vacation in downtown Shanghai, and we'll definitely stay here again!

The room was fantastic, we were probably lucky. It had two rooms: a living room with a sofa and a magnificent view of the pedestrian street. Besides a tea set, there was also a coffee machine. There was also a large, separate bathroom. It's an ideal option for a family with a child. The breakfasts are very good, with options for both children and adults. The only thing I didn't notice was an omelet station; there were fried eggs and scrambled eggs instead. But you won't go hungry; a delicious and hearty breakfast is guaranteed.

What's especially great is the abundance of hospitals nearby, such as Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, and Zhongshan Hospital – all top-tier hospitals are close by, and you can get there quickly by car or taxi. If you're coming to Shanghai to accompany family members for medical appointments or check-ups, staying here is a huge time-saver. You don't have to wake up early and travel far; after the appointment, you can return to the hotel to rest, which is incredibly reassuring. Plus,日月光中心 (Rihui Guang Centre) and Tianzifang are within walking distance, making it convenient for shopping, dining, and sightseeing. It truly covers business, medical needs, and leisure all at once. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The room had everything, including a capsule coffee machine, an ironing board, and an iron, which is very convenient. l'd especially like to mention the eco-friendly slippers, which really stand out from the slippers in other hotels: they're very comfortable.

We stayed in a twin tatami room on the 1st floor with our child for a Disney trip, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel offers a shuttle service to the Disney metro station, but if you prefer, bus route 1 stops right outside the hotel and also goes directly to Disney. The communal bath (Gokurakuyu) was excellent. We went in the afternoon when it was practically empty, almost like having the whole place to ourselves. The water was clear and at a perfect temperature. The hotel is conveniently located directly opposite Bicester Village, so we took a stroll around, enjoyed some food, and did some shopping. While the hotel parking lot didn't have charging stations for guests, the staff went above and beyond to find a solution, and we ended up driving home with a fully charged car, which made us feel very secure. During our stay, it was our child's birthday, and the hotel provided a wonderful birthday setup. Our little one specifically wanted to praise the balloons! However, the hotel doesn't have a Western restaurant, so getting a birthday cake, whether delivered or bought, was impossible unless you brought one yourself. Also, the dining service stops after 10 PM, so for those returning late from Disney and wanting a late-night snack, you'd need to arrange for the restaurant to pack something for you in advance. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. It's a perfect base for visiting Disney, and you can avoid the crowds at the official Disney hotels.

Booked a one-night hotel stay. When placing the order, I indicated that I would have a child staying with me. The front desk on the fifth floor was very nice on the day of check-in. When checking in, I saw that the child specifically told us that the room only included two bath tickets. I said that I had seen this rule when booking and purchased additional bath tickets. However, when I was leaving, the front desk staff on the first floor had a very bad attitude. When checking out, I agreed to other expenses, but they insisted that I pay extra for the child's overnight stay. I immediately stated that the child stayed with us in the hotel room and did not stay overnight in the bathhouse. The hotel allows underage children to stay with us. The cashier said in a bad attitude that we don't care and will charge if the child is over 1.4 meters. I was too lazy to argue with him for a few dozen dollars, but the experience was very bad, and I will definitely not go there again next time.

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.

The room has a vanity table, but the smart toilet and hairdryer are a bit old-fashioned; it would be a bonus if they were updated later. The bedding is a tiny bit firm, but I still slept very comfortably. The room also has wireless charging for watches, headphones, and phones, which is very thoughtful. The bathroom is much better than the one at the Andaz next door. Since both the bathtub and shower are within the glass door, there are no strange odors. The gym is on B1.

First off, the location is truly beyond words. It's right in the heart of West Nanjing Road, with Plaza 66, the Exhibition Center, and Kerry Center just outside the door. Shopping and dining are incredibly convenient. Secondly, I specifically booked a room with Executive Lounge benefits, and as expected, The Ritz-Carlton's executive privileges were exceptional. Besides five meals a day (the evening canapés were especially good), I also made use of the luxury car pick-up and drop-off service within a 2-kilometer radius of the hotel. Finally, I must especially highlight the hotel's service. Although the hotel's facilities are showing their age and can't compare to many newly opened hotels, the overall service truly added a lot of value. I'd like to extend a special thanks to Audrey, the Assistant Front Office Manager, who was incredibly kind, efficient, and thoughtful. She perfectly arranged all the needs for our stay with a child. Coincidentally, it was Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), and she thoughtfully sent flowers, which absolutely enhanced the romantic atmosphere. In summary, great location, excellent service, and a comfortable stay. I will definitely be back!

Fairmont Peace Hotel on the Bund

9.7/10Excellent5768 Reviews
The Bund Area Shanghai|1.78km from city centre
Checked into the Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai. For standard rooms, you check in on the first floor, but if you book a Fairmont Gold room, you can go straight to the 9th-floor executive lounge to check in, which is nice as you don't have to wait in line. The Gold Lounge afternoon tea was just so-so, and dinner was average; don't expect too much. The pool and gym are free for guests and were practically empty, which made for a really enjoyable experience. Breakfast was decent and satisfying. The minibar in the room charges 55 yuan for a can of Coke or a bottle of water... honestly, a can of Coke from the shop downstairs is only 3 yuan, isn't that a much better deal? The hotel's own historical museum was a pleasant surprise and worth a visit. Overall, it's an old-school hotel that really shines with its location and ambiance.

Grand Hyatt Shanghai

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|3.12km from city centre
This was my second stay at the Grand Hyatt Jinmao, and it continues to maintain the consistent high standards of an established five-star hotel. The concierge staff proactively helped with my luggage and guided me attentively throughout the process. Check-in was very quick, so guests don't have to wait long. The room was exceptionally clean; there was no dust in the wardrobe or nightstand crevices, the bathroom was dry with no standing water, and the bedding was soft and comfortable against the skin. Sitting by the window, you get a panoramic view of Lujiazui – towering buildings by day and a dazzling cityscape by night. With convenient access to the subway and shopping malls nearby, it’s an excellent choice for accommodation in Shanghai, whether you're traveling for leisure or business.

She Shan, Songjiang University Town Shanghai|35.83km from city centre
An interesting hotel that I visited purely out of curiosity. There's an observation deck on the 14th underground floor where you can see the lake, waterfalls, and mines. Right next to the hotel is the Shimao Wonderland theme park, and the attractions there are really great for testing your courage. In the evening, there's a light and shadow show, telling ancient stories amidst dazzling lights – truly unique and beautiful. The Chinese restaurant at the hotel is delicious, and the water curtain show in the lobby is also quite unique. The rooms are spacious and very clean, with a blend of old money and modern decor. They feature smart curtains and smart sanitary facilities.

Hyatt On The Bund Shanghai

9.3/10Very Good4937 Reviews
The Bund Area Shanghai|2.48km from city centre
Check-in was a bit frustrating. The person ahead of me had an issue with their booking channel that took 20 minutes to resolve, and the front desk didn't bother to open another queue. I had to re-queue myself. Their problem-solving skills definitely need improvement. The Bund view from the hotel, however, was no joke – genuinely good. Note that the West Building only offers views of the Oriental Pearl Tower; for a view of the entire financial district, you absolutely need to book the East Building. It poured rain the day I was there, completely ruining the river view, which was a bit of a waste. The shower stall was cramped to fit a bathtub, making it even smaller than those in budget hotels. Parking is free, and you just cross the street from the underground garage to reach the riverside, which is convenient.

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|2.69km from city centre
This is my second time at the Ritz-Carlton Pudong, and the facilities are, as expected, top-notch. Since I have a flight to the UK in two days, I decided to spend both days fully enjoying the hotel experience. The concierge team thoughtfully prepared extra bottled water for me in advance, and also gifted me a little lion charm and a personalized room key. The handwritten card was a truly warm and sincere touch, showing they remembered details I had mentioned, and they even helped me with restaurant reservations. I also took the opportunity to experience the Ritz-Carlton spa. While the price might be a bit higher, the quality of service and the staff's attitude are absolutely impeccable.

Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund

9.3/10Very Good4775 Reviews
The Bund Area Shanghai|1.58km from city centre
Stepping into the room, I was immediately greeted by the towering 'Huangpu River Four-Piece Set' (referring to the iconic skyscrapers) outside the window. Sitting on the sofa, the Huangpu River unfolded before me like a dynamic scroll painting. The bedding was incredibly soft and delicate; I instinctively wrapped myself tightly in the duvet. The Aesop pine-scented amenities were elegant and long-lasting, perfectly matching the Waldorf's style. The walk-in closet was well-designed and practical. I had bought some 'Ice Beauty,' 'Goddess,' 'Pink Iron Cannon,' and 'Orange Dream' flowers, and was using the room's trash can as a makeshift vase. The thoughtful Nini noticed and kindly replaced it with a beautiful glass vase. 👍 Aaron and Katrina provided meticulous and attentive service. It was a great 4-day experience. I'll definitely be back.

This stay was absolutely perfect, a solid five stars! The hotel's location is fantastic, making it super convenient for shopping. The room was spotless, not a hint of any unpleasant smells, and the bedding was incredibly soft and comfortable – perfect for resting after a day of shopping with friends. The common areas were also impeccably clean and beautifully maintained. Bonnie at the front desk was incredibly efficient during check-in and was consistently gentle and patient. She went above and beyond, proactively offering tips on exploring the area and navigating transportation. She answered all our questions thoroughly, demonstrating both professionalism and a thoughtful approach. In fact, all the staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, truly deserving of a five-star rating. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Shanghai!

Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center Shanghai|12.35km from city centre
The location is unbeatable. It's super convenient – just take the escalator up to the second floor from the Purple Vine Road metro station exit towards MixC, and you'll see the hotel. It would be even better if there was a convenience store nearby. The hotel environment is also excellent, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that provide amazing natural light in the morning. The room itself is very tidy. The only downside is that the hallway decor is a bit peculiar, especially the wallpaper – it actually startled me the first time I stayed here. Overall, it's great value for money, and I'll likely stay here again next year when I come to Shanghai.
