Shanghai Disneyland overview
Shanghai Disneyland at a glance
The newest Disney castle park, with the largest castle of them all.
Shanghai Disneyland is the most technologically advanced Magic Kingdom-style park Disney has built. TRON Lightcycle Power Run and Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure are best-in-class attractions, and the Enchanted Storybook Castle is the largest ever constructed.
Our editor's recommendation
Yes, if you already have a reason to be in the region. It ranks #21 of the 50 parks we score, at 7.6/10 with 30 rides and attractions and a typical visit of about 9 hours. Tickets run $66–$112 a day. The strongest reasons to go are its big-ticket thrill rides and family-friendly range. The honest catch: tickets are expensive for what you get, and queues average around 30 minutes. Best time to visit: Spring.
