Mid-Autumn Parent-Child Trip Recommendation: Shanghai Disneyland
The three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is relatively short, so we recommend choosing a parent-child trip destination that’s convenient to get to. This year’s newly opened Disneyland is especially suitable. As China’s megacity, Shanghai boasts convenient transportation, many cultural attractions, and plenty of delicious food. The dreamy cartoon world is also the fairy-tale realm every child imagines—what are you waiting for?
1. How to Get to Disneyland
Disneyland is a 30-minute drive from Shanghai Pudong Airport (during normal hours), costing around 50 yuan. It’s not very easy to hail a taxi at the airport. With the opening of Line 2, getting there will become even more convenient. However, taking a taxi from Hongqiao Airport Station to Disneyland costs about 150 yuan, and the travel time is hard to predict due to heavy traffic.
2. Recommended to Stay at a Hotel Inside Disneyland
If you really want to fully enjoy Disneyland and experience its culture, it’s best to stay overnight inside the park. This not only gives you more time to enjoy all the attractions but also saves you the trouble of travel fatigue and the need to find food and rest elsewhere.
3. Ticket Booking Tips
It’s recommended that you buy tickets for weekdays (of course, you’ll need to ask your boss for leave in advance), and purchase a two-day pass. This way, you can get a 5% discount on the total price. There’s just no way to see and do everything in just one day.
4. Attraction Visit Tips
Remember to go early and queue up. Don’t wait until you’re feeling lazy around noon to head in—get to the park as soon as it opens. Head straight to the most popular attractions and plan a few key rides in advance, then go directly to those spots. After experiencing the main rides, you can then try the ones with shorter queues.Also, the evening shows and night-time experiences are great too.
5. Mid-Autumn Parent-Child Trip Ticket Prices Have Increased
Typically, ticket prices for hotels and attractions rise during popular holidays. At Shanghai Disneyland, the Mid-Autumn Festival ticket prices are 499 yuan for adults and 375 yuan for children. That’s about 100 yuan higher than usual.
