A Day In Shanghai Disneyland



Since 1972 until 2019 - I do not think there was a year that the Everhart’s did not visit Disneyworld or Disneyland. It is just good wholesome entertainment that makes one feel good about their family and life in general. So a trip to China would not be complete without seeing Shanghai Disneyland.

Lulu taught her Tuesday class - we then caught the 760 miles - four hour express. We arrived in Shanghai just after 10 pm - checked into out hotel. On Wednesday morning we took the subway to the end of the line - Disneyland. Admission was $42 - we were inside in no time at all. It was not crowded. There were small or no lines for the attractions. The streets were not crowed. The meals and the snacks were good and reasonably priced.

It was sunny and 60s - we stayed until the fireworks at 9:30. Cinderella’s Castle seems much bigger and it is used as a projection screen for a fabulous laser light show. there is also fireworks - but the light show dominates. It was over by 10 pm.

We headed right for the subway - thinking there would be a rush. There was no crowd - the subway left half empty. We were back in Shanghai at our hotel in about 40 minutes. If I did it again I would probably stay right at the Disney Hotel and save time.

Thursday - it was back on the bullet train to Beijing. It was foggy almost the whole 760 mile back at 217 MPH!
