The theme park of the Shanghai Disney Resort, set to open in June, began internal operational testing today. Live-streamed by local media online, the parade was met with enthusiasm as the crowd cheered, waved, and some even danced along to the music.
Shanghai Disneyland started internal operational testing today, but it is only open to cast members and invited guests, and not all attractions are being tested. According to official information, invitees will experience selected rides, entertainment shows, and dining services on designated dates.
Live footage from the Shanghai News Morning Post on Weibo showed that many visitors entered shops as soon as they opened in the morning. Popular spots such as the castle, princess area, and Mickey Club all drew crowds. The "Frozen" theater also received continuous applause.

Jiemian News also provided a live photo and text broadcast. It showed that the "Mad Tea Party" spinning teacups were very popular, with both adults and children taking turns. Other guests queued up to take photos with Winnie the Pooh. The Disney Dream Passport contains information and an index, guiding visitors to locations where they can collect stamps.
