    Shanghai - staying @TS- advantage/disadvantage to buying tickets w hotel ressie?

    The extra FPs are not for staying on site, but if you purchase your park tickets from the hotel as a hotel guest. I believe you can do this when you book your hotel room online. But if you miss it this step, you can't go back in and just buy park tickets online - you won't receive the extra...

    Shanghai - Courtyard Marriott vs. Toy Story Land

    The early entry pass wasn't offered yet when I went in Nov 2018. But perhaps others can comment. The main issue about the main gates is the getting through security. So perhaps those who have used it can comment if the early entry pass helps with this that line up. Does this pass use the...

    Shanghai - Courtyard Marriott vs. Toy Story Land

    Would you consider a split stay as a compromise? I haven't stayed off property, but when we did our planning, everything pointed towards huge quality of life improvements of staying on site allowing you to start your day off right, regardless of crowd levels, and thus having a more enjoyable...

    Which park first HKDL or SDL for easier travel?

    I'd recommend trying to avoid SDL on the weekend if you can. HK is a smaller park and there will be less "adjusting" to the culture...

    Shanghai Advice

    1. We took a taxi and has no issue, we arrived around 9pm and the cab ride took about 30min to the Toy Story hotel. We lined up at the official taxi line. I've seen others on the forum use a service called Mr. Orange that they seemed happy with. 4. Regarding Tron, it's a short ride so even...

    Shanghai DL Review from Last Year

    Thanks for sharing your experience. It seems like crowd levels is the biggest challenge with any park but even moreso for SHDL. When we visited last year, I expected the worst, and tried by best to avoid the main gates at opening. My wife and I ended up having a wonderful time at SHDL, the...

    Shanghai Annual Pass Questions and AP Hotel Discount?

    We waited to get the AP (1/2 year pass at the time) till we got to the park. There was a discount offered online, but I had trouble using the online system that asked for ID numbers etc as it was targeted towards locals and was sold through Fliggy Flagship Store ... Not wanting to risk issues...

    144 hour China transit visa?

    I put in my gmail address in the contact form and didn't have any trouble. I contacted multiple times for different questions. The only thing I would add is I only had success using the online form - when I had a follow up question and replied to their response, I didn't hear back. All the...

    144 hour China transit visa?

    You can also email using the contact form on the website. Include your reservation details. It might be easier that way. Usually takes a couple days to get the reply though.

    144 hour China transit visa?

    I don't see why you wouldn't qualify. Shanghai is a middle destination between two different countires and you are not staying beyond 144 hours. Do you have accommodations booked?

    Shanghai Disneyland Annual Pass.... worth it ?

    I would wait to purchase the pass when you are there. As either way you will need to go to the main gates to pick up your pass as this cannot be done at the hotel conciege. That way you will avoid any redemption issues trying to "claim" an already paid for pass.

    Shanghai Disneyland Annual Pass.... worth it ?

    We did the 1/2 year pass (the annual pass didn't exist yet when we went last November)... But I imagine it works the same... I'll paste what I wrote in a previous post - ½ Year Pass We ended up going with the ½ year pass as it made the most financial sense given the number of days we were...

    Alaska - Pixar Pals Party & Dressing Up?

    Thanks everyone! Responses have me thinking it might be wiser to save the luggage space and not stand out like a sore thumb being in adult onsies.

    Hi Everyone, I've seen videos online of the Pixar Pals Party for Alaska cruises. But most of those are pointing at what's going on. For those that have been, did you find people, adults included, dressed up for it? My wife and I have Monsters Inc Mike & Sully onsies, and I'm deciding if...

    Park Popcorn Buckets refilled on DCL

    I have a bucket from DisneySea in Tokyo I was planning on using. I'm guessing this probably won't work for refills? https://media.karousell.com/media/photos/products/2017/12/15/tokyo_disneyland_mickey_mouse_popcorn_carrier_1513342659_80d9c597.jpg
