Last weekend, I experienced the trial operation of Shanghai Disneyland with my colleagues.

All in all, the three best-known projects, flying over the horizon, Pirates of the Caribbean and creating the fastest light year, have all been played

I've sat on the merry go round full of girlish hearts and watched the super happy float parade

In the evening, I crouch in the square in front of the castle to watch the legend of the luminous mirage show of Meimei crying. With the cooperation of the castle, water curtain and fireworks, Disney characters take turns to appear on the stage. It's so beautiful that people can't bear to blink.

Tips you need to know before you start:

1. Tickets

Shanghai Disneyland Resort is divided into three parts: theme park, disneytown and Xingyuan park.

The theme park is based on Disney tickets. It's here to play and watch performances. One area at the gate of the park is Disneyland town and Xingyuan Park, which is similar to a commercial pedestrian street and a Lakeside Park. You don't need any tickets. You can buy food and go shopping.

Disney tickets can be directly reserved on Ctrip. Com, and you can buy them two days before you visit the park. Remember to bring your ID card on the day you visit the park.

Ticket portal:

http://piao.ctrip.com/dest/t1412255.html#ctm_ref =GS TTD 290510 11 TKT 2 1412255

490 yuan for adult peak and 370 yuan for weekdays.

1.0-1.4 meter children and the elderly over 65 years old can buy preferential tickets, 375 yuan at peak and 280 yuan on weekdays.

Children under 1.0 meters are free of charge.

If you feel that one day is not enough, you can also choose two-day tickets in the link above, which is dozens of yuan cheaper than buying two one-day tickets.

The ticket terms are very long. I'll pick out the most important ones for you

* when entering the park, the registered ID card holder must be present at the time of ticket purchase and enter the park together with all the fellow tourists on the same order (for example, chestnut: dad bought tickets for a family of three with his ID card. On the day of entering the park, dad must be present, show his ID card, check the tickets and lead the other two family members to enter the park at the same time)

* with the second generation ID card (foreign customers with passport), you can enter and leave the park many times on the day of entry.

2. Transportation

#How to get to Disney#

Metro Line 11 is the most conventional and convenient mode of transportation. Sit all the way to the terminal (Disneyland Station), go out of gate 4, and walk for 5 minutes along (following) the road (people) sign (flow), which is the gate of the park. The last train to return to the city in the evening is about 22:30. After watching the night vision show, we went out of the park and took the subway to return. We didn't miss the last train.

Of course, you can also choose to take the bus and the direct Disney Holiday Express, but the closing time is earlier than that of the subway, and the range of arrival is limited.

Once you get off the subway, you can feel the Disney atmosphere

This pair of Mickey Mouse in the exit hall may take away the first group photo of you and Disney characters.

It's also good for the family to drive. The parking lot is very big, and it costs 100 yuan a day.

PS, you can buy this super cute balloon in the park, 60 yuan each. However, the little brother who sells balloons said that this kind of balloon can't be taken to the subway. You can buy it next time you drive yourself

#Transportation in the park#

There is a free shuttle bus between the two hotels in the resort and the park, which takes about 10 minutes. The rest of it is on foot. It's not very far.

3. Accommodation

There are two hotels in Disneyland Resort: Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story hotel.

The prices of these two families are 1k-2k every night. If they come to Disney from other places, it is recommended to stay for one night first, like us, and enter the park early the next day.

Disneyland Hotel tends to be a star hotel, and the toy story hotel we stayed in this time is a cute cartoon department in terms of appearance and interior details, which is very suitable for parent-child travel

If you review toy story before you move in, you may feel more brought in

The first feeling when I come to the hotel is that the color matching is very bright, and the rich red, yellow and blue make people feel good involuntarily. The ubiquitous cowboy doll woody, space force bass Lightyear and their friends are also cute

Hotel entrance

Woody the cowboy in the square

The waiting area next to the gate is the waiting time for adults to go through the formalities. Children can watch Disney animation here. It's very considerate

It's necessary to mention the elevator of the hotel. Every time it stops on one floor, a character's excited voice will suddenly sound in the very quiet elevator: "Hey! It's building X! " I was scared when I sat for the first time

It's too sudden. It's better to have some music to cushion during driving

Even the carpets in the hallway of each floor are different cartoon patterns

The room is smaller than you think. If it is a parent-child tour, it will feel more warm.

The slippers in the room are large, medium and small, suitable for a family of three

Shower gel, toothbrush cup and other toiletries in the bathroom are also customized for toy story.

There is a big bear department store in front of the hotel. I didn't have time to go in this time. It looks lovely

4. Eating

Whether it's Disney town or theme park, there are many restaurants with high quality, but much more expensive than downtown. In the park, a bottle of coke is 15 yuan, and a bottle of mineral water is 10 yuan. A hamburger set meal is 75 yuan.

Of course, you can also bring your own dry food, a bottle of unopened water and sealed food to the park.

The security check in the park is not machine scanning, but manual open package inspection.

5. Follow the app to visit Disney

Shanghai Disneyland officially launched two apps, among which "Disneyland Resort" is very effective, so it is recommended to download it before departure.

It can not only provide a detailed 3D map of the whole park, indicating the location of each amusement facility, performance, restaurant, store, service center and even toilet, but also locate your specific location, prompt the waiting time of each amusement facility and the suitable crowd.

Note: during the trial operation, the waiting time of the amusement facilities is not very accurate. Remember to pay attention to the announcements in the park. There may be surprises

6. Line up

The queuing time of each amusement project is basically 50 minutes, and the real experience time is only a few minutes, but it's strange that it makes you feel worth it.

The endless S-shaped team is similar to that of the Shanghai World Expo. In fact, only half of the popular teams have gone from outdoor to indoor.

As for the queuing environment of the three major projects, because of the thrill and excitement, chuangjiguanglun doesn't accept children below 122cm (no stroller), and needs to check their luggage (light loading). Moreover, the queuing place is airy and bright, so it feels that the time will soon pass; Pirates of the Caribbean, we didn't wait in line because we were lucky, but there were electric fans at the top of the waiting area, and there were all kinds of decorative props to see along the way, which was also very interesting; The worst queuing experience is crossing the horizon. It's not easy for you to get to a room with stars overhead and exclaim "Wow, it's beautiful". Then, you'll have to wait for one hour in this crowded and dark place. There's no staff to guide you, there's no way out, and you can't even go to the toilet. It's really hard.

So.. Be sure to go to the toilet before queuing up. If you want to leave the queue temporarily, ask the staff for a sticker in advance.

* some popular items can be reserved with fast pass, and there is no queue. However, there are more wolves and less meat. If you have something special to play with, you can enter the park around 8 o'clock, and then immediately line up to get its FP card!

Other tips

* most of the amusement facilities in the theme park have a minimum height limit. Please check before queuing. You can rent a stroller near the entrance of the park, but it may not be available when there are too many people.

Garden tour:

Day1 Disney town

We'll meet at Disney subway station around 2 p.m. on Saturday. Because it's not time for the hotel to check in (3 o'clock), we decided to go to disneytown first, choose a restaurant here for dinner, and then take a free shuttle bus to the hotel. Rest early in the evening, so as to conserve energy for the next day.

Although it is a trial operation, most of the shops in Disney town have been opened. The most important thing you can't miss here is the Disney World store. All kinds of Disney's surroundings are dazzling.

There is a Lego near the entrance of the town. At that time, I saw a queue at the door, so I didn't go in. Later I learned that this is the largest LEGO toy flagship store in the world. I'm a little sorry

There are also many restaurants in the small town, most of which have open-air seats, and all kinds of dishes can be found. If you want to eat Shanghai food, you can go to Xiaonanguo, including Cantonese food, Southeast Asian food, and Japanese food such as Yifengtang and Yinquan.

Finally, we settled the dinner in blue frog. We ordered a set meal for two people: Blue Frog fried chicken + barbecue platter + stewed beef balls and mushroom spaghetti. It's very large and full! One person ordered another glass of non-alcoholic cocktail. It's a tradition: you can have another one before 8 o'clock for free

In addition, the Walt Disney Grand Theater in the small town is the venue for the "Lion King" musical. We haven't started when we went there. We'll have a chance to see it later!

It's beautiful when the landscape lights are on at night

Day2 theme park

Originally, I planned to take the earliest bus (7:00) to the park the next day, but I failed to get up. 7: 20 to get on the shuttle bus to the park.

By the time we got to the gate, there were many people waiting in line, but the speed of entering the park was still fast, and we were there in about 20 minutes. Brush ID card ticket into the park, all at once! Remember to get a guide and schedule of the park here by the way

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see Disney's iconic castle, the band playing in the flower bed, and the small booth selling Mickey Mouse Ear headdress. It is full of the happy atmosphere of the amusement park

Catch a goofy and a Pluto by the side of the road!

First of all, we went straight to the flying horizon where we wanted to play most, and all the way to the rockery with waterfall.

Although it was only eight o'clock, the team had already reached the gate of leiming mountain rafting. The staff said they would wait for 4-6 hours. They advised us to play other games first.

But we stayed in line and it took three hours.

Make complaints about the indoor queuing area: dark sky room. Get ready to squeeze in for an hour..

There is a wall in the middle of the whole room. I thought I would arrive after passing the wall, but I didn't expect I was only half way away.. That's naive

When you get to the corridor where you can't see the stars, the staff will divide you into different small rooms and watch the video instructions, then you really arrive.

Before I read the introduction of the project, I said that it will make you soar like a Thunderbird and travel around the world. Originally thought it was a thrilling project like a cable car, but it turned out to be an indoor activity suitable for all ages. However, it can really overlook a polar bear diving into the water, the pyramids and camels in the desert, and even skim over the top of the Eiffel Tower from the air. The effect is so lifelike that it feels like it's really flying. It's amazing!

Next to the team flying over the horizon, there is a Dingman, whose humble expression is deep in my heart

In fact, it's also a bright spot to take photos with cartoon characters played by real people in the park. These guys are all masters of concave modeling, and they can perfectly interact with visitors only by body language

You can take pictures with your own camera. The photos taken by professional photographers in the park, as well as the pictures taken by cameras when participating in some projects, need to be downloaded by lepaton.

After taking the photos, we are going to see if there is any FP left in the seven dwarfs. Halfway through a consulting office, the electronic screen on the wall shows that pirates of the Caribbean are temporarily closed today.

Is disappointed, suddenly see a lot of people forward, Pirates of the Caribbean.. Unexpectedly.. It's reopened.. The little brother of the consulting office yelled "go! Don't hesitate! Wait for another 20 minutes! "

So we ran, and then trot all the way through the zigzag waiting area, sat on the boat to explore the "Sunken Treasure."..

The model plus sound and light create a wonderful effect of submarine sinking. At this moment, you are still looking up at the top of the sea and the huge water monster in the deep sea. The next second, you suddenly jump out of the sea. Facing you are two sailing pirate ships... Although it's a water activity, it's not the type of rushing forward. All the wonderful experiences are the real illusion of special effects, However, it's not too much to describe it as "on the spot".

Although there was a hint before boarding that "you may get wet!", But the whole journey down, completely will not "wet", schoolbag everything with you on board.

Pirates of the Caribbean export is a pirate themed store. But we don't have time to go more, because the float parade is about to start!

The whole float tour is about one hour, and it starts at 1 o'clock at noon.

We chose to crouch by the road near the speed light wheel. First, it's close to the starting point of the parade, which is the stage when the actors are not too tired to enter the role; Secondly, after the cruise, you can go to paichuang speed lightwheel immediately. At this time, there are still some people watching the cruise, and the number of people in the queue will be slightly less.

The parade is a big parade of Disney characters. With different theme songs, the protagonists in the story come out in turn, dancing and cheering to greet the onlookers

From Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Dumbo, ice and snow, to Hua Mulan, lion king, Tarzan, Nemo, Toy Story... I suddenly found that I have seen so many Disney works since I was young..

Create speed light wheel

Create speed light wheel is the boy's favorite!

In the words of the staff at the door, this project is to queue for 2 hours and experience for 2 minutes. But whether it's the streamlined ceiling, the futuristic waiting area, or the sour experience of lying on the motorcycle and rolling on the track... Thousands of words come together into two words: enjoy!

The whole experience is similar to a roller coaster, except that it is riding (lying) on a motorcycle. The first half is the outdoor track, and the second half will rush into the dark interior. Personally, I don't think the speed of the car is very fast. I don't feel like being thrown out when I turn the corner. Instead, the flashing red and blue lights in front of me give you the illusion of being very fast.

I heard the screams of girls all the time... Maybe I was too calm

About bag storage: before admission, bags should be stored in the lockers next to the entrance, but mobile phones are allowed. Carry small items, when the car on the "motorcycle" in front of the small grid is good.

It's almost 4 o'clock when I come out of the speed light wheel. I suddenly realize that I haven't had lunch yet.. Right next to a star Terrace Restaurant, I asked for a hamburger set meal, 75 yuan, but the hamburger's weight is super enough, and the French fries are also very delicious, so I can eat it directly... By the way, there is a children's set meal

Having enough to eat and drink, we continued to walk deep into the park to see if the seven dwarfs had any hope of playing.

As a result, a long line of two or three hours decided to give up and go around the castle

The "Alice in Wonderland labyrinth" at the foot of the castle is a surprise

You don't have to wait in line at all. You can walk around in the maze surrounded by trees. There are gadgets suitable for taking photos almost everywhere

Girls, don't miss it

Like a mirror...

Like the Queen's throne.. When there are many people, we should consciously queue up to sit..

Inside the maze, there is a small platform on a flight of stairs

If you want to take a picture with the panoramic view of the castle, and don't want passers-by to get in, just come here!

The cold young man taking a picture with the castle..

2X youth taking a picture with the castle..

The colorful table near the exit of the labyrinth also has secrets!

All kinds of delicious food on the table, twist, clap, some will make a sound, some will have fragrance. Oh, what can I do? I'm hungry again

You can also visit the castle. It seems to be the princess's room? However, there were so many people, so we only turned around in the public area outside, which was also beautiful

Strolling around, I suddenly heard a performance on the front stage of the castle, "golden fairy tale Festival"

It looks like a song and dance performance of fairy tale characters. If you are interested, you can take a seat in the Square ahead of time and have a better perspective

Passing by the little flying elephant, I wanted to play, but I queued up for 50 minutes, flew a few laps on it and came down. I felt that it was not worth it, so I watched others play a few laps in a hurry.

Then, for the first time in my life, I took a carousel at Disney.

The speed of the carousel is not fast, children who can't reach the stirrup need to wear seat belts, and parents can stand behind to protect the whole process.

It was a while before the 9 o'clock light show, so we came to Mickey street near the gate.

The shops and restaurants selling peripheral products in the park are all here. You can buy some hand mail at the end of the journey

It is said that this m Street shopping mall is the largest store in the park, and it feels that its scale is comparable to that of the Disney World store in the small town.

I feel that although there are many products, there is no clear classification. I'm dazzled when I walk around. It's not so easy to find the one I want to start with

We arrived at the square in front of the castle at 8 o'clock. It was so crowded that there was no room for our feet. All of us sat on the ground and watched the arrival of 9 o'clock.

In fact, you can wait a little earlier, and choose a position slightly behind in the middle, so that you can not only see the water curtain in front, but also take a complete picture of fireworks.

This lighting show is absolutely the finale of the whole garden. The combination of childlike innocence and fantasy, coupled with Disney's first-class special effects technology, can be described as shocking. Roughly speaking, it's worth half the ticket price.

After watching the show, we followed the crowd out of the garden and took line 11 home.
