Shanghai Disneyland Travel Tips
1. Carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. There are water fountains available where you can refill your bottle. Alternatively, you can purchase bottled water from various food stalls and shops within the park.
2. Consider making dining reservations in advance, especially for popular restaurants or character dining experiences.
3. Arriving early can help you beat the crowds and enjoy popular attractions with shorter wait times.
4. Take advantage of the FastPass system to minimize wait times for some of the most popular rides.
5. Try visiting the park on weekdays when it tends to be less crowded compared to weekends.
6. Shanghai Disneyland offers discounted tickets for children based on height. Children below a certain height (usually around 1.4 meters or 4' 7") are eligible for child-priced tickets.
7. If traveling with children of different heights or ages, take advantage of the Rider Swap program. This allows one adult to wait with a child who can't ride, while others in the party experience the attraction. Then, the adults can switch roles without waiting in line again.
