Instead of Main Street U.S.A., you walk through Mickey Avenue — a charming street that feels uniquely Chinese yet still 100% Disney magic. It’s like stepping into a new chapter of Disney storytelling.
🏰 The Biggest Castle Ever
The Enchanted Storybook Castle is the largest Disney castle ever built. It’s massive, detailed, and honestly a showstopper from every angle.
🦊 A World’s First: Zootopia Land
This is the first Zootopia-themed land in the world — and if you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know how fun and whimsical that can be. Walking through it feels like stepping right into Judy Hopps’ city.
🎢 Next-Level Rides
The rides here are smoother, longer, and seriously more high-tech than anything I’ve experienced at other Disney parks. Think updated classics with a futuristic twist.
🍜 Disney Dining, Shanghai Style
Forget Mickey pretzels and churros — here, you’re sipping osmanthus bubble tea, slurping ramen with Mickey-shaped eggs, and biting into BBQ pork buns. And yes, it’s just as magical as it sounds.
🎭 A Multilingual Experience
Stage shows are in Mandarin, but don’t worry — many characters speak English at meet-and-greets. It’s a fun cultural twist that makes the whole experience feel even more special.
🌸 A Hero Worth Celebrating
One thing I absolutely loved: Mulan is everywhere. She’s honored in the parades, the merch, the shows, and even inside the castle. And honestly, it feels so right to see her celebrated in this park.
🏨 Stay in the Magic
If you’re planning a visit, you can stay right on property at the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel or the Toy Story Hotel. Both are immersive and keep the Disney magic going long after you leave the park.
