This is the third Disneyland that I visited. The first was Orlando, followed by Hong Kong and finally Shanghai. The newly opened Disneyland Shanghai, located in the complex Disneyland Resort Shanghai in Shanghai, China, is really impressive. More than 7 km² area with more than 30 different attractions spread across Adventure Isle, Fantasyland, Gardens of Imagination, Mickey Avenue, Tomorrowland and Treasure Cove!

How to get there?
There are several ways to reach Disneyland Shanghai: car, bus or subway. I ended up going by car. The best option is by subway, dropping right on Disney’s doorstep. Everything is very well signposted in English and of course Mandarin!

The complex Disneyland in Shanghai, as well as Orlando, has Disney Town, the famous Disney City with many shops, restaurants and even a theater with the musical “The Lion King.” The good part? You do not need to enter Disneyland to buy all the amazing park merchandising, just go to the giant store located in the center of Disney Town.

Prices:
Compared to other Disney parks around the world, Shanghai is CHEAPER! The entrance in high season costs about U$D 70 and U$D 55 in low season! Besides that, all the goodies are really cheap and unique (completely different from other Disneylands). In contrast, the price of the food was a little higher than the other parks in the complex.

Attractions:
No doubt, the two best attractions are Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure and Tron Lightcycle Power Run. As the park was very crowded, we got only in Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure. And what can we say? There are no words to describe this attraction! The attraction has a 360º screen in high quality that makes you feel inside the movie!
