It was my first time at Disneyland, and everyone has heard of it. I really wanted to go, and finally, I did. You need to go there either with express passes or for a few days. If you've been to Universal before, this park won't seem as impressive, which is exactly what happened to me. It seemed more like a kid's park. I noticed that a new ride is coming soon. I liked the Tron and Pirates of the Caribbean rides, and the water slide was a bit of a highlight. The park has Wi-Fi, but for some reason it kept crashing, and I had to reconnect several times. I went to the illuminations and fireworks, and I liked them. The parade was also good. But standing in the scorching sun wasn't so great. Overall, my impressions are mixed. I kind of liked it, but having been to Universal before, I had high expectations. Therefore, I recommend going to Disneyland first, and then to Universal.

We visited Disneyland on 25th June 2026, which was a weekday, yet the popular attractions had almost 2 hours of que. At the end of the day, it was painful to have stood 6 hours for only 3 rides! Except the standing in que part, it was a great experience and enjoyment at Disneyland Shanghai. How you have a great one too!

It's definitely worth a visit! The kids really enjoyed it, especially the evening performance. Of course, I'd like to see more of the characters and their involvement with the crowd. And I also want children to be able to watch the parade! Not the adult Chinese fans who obscured everything! It's a bit overwhelming for a European mindset. After all, children should be the center of attention at this festival, watching the parade, not the adults' backs...
