Although it was a hot day, we had fun riding the rides without having to wait long thanks to the fast track, and we also ate delicious food inside Disney~~ and above all, there were so many pretty props, dolls, and toys in the gift shop that it was hard to choose and leave~~>.< It was the best place for my kids who love Zootopia so much~~~~~~~😉😉

Good, good. If you make a reservation here, it seems like they'll check your passport number when you enter, so make sure to bring your passport. I printed out my reservation receipt just in case. After showing your passport at the entrance and completing the baggage check, they'll give you a paper ticket with a QR code. Install the Shanghai Disneyland app, open the app, and there's a place to scan your ticket QR code. Once you authenticate the QR code, you'll get a 30 yuan food and beverage coupon that you can use at restaurants within Disneyland. It was so hot in August that we didn't have an open run, so we arrived late around 3 PM. As soon as we arrived, we were able to see the parade at the entrance around 3:15-30 PM, which was great. We saw Rapunzel, Eugene, Elsa, Anna, Aladdin? The princesses. And there was something like a sky spinning ride, and a motorcycle-shaped roller coaster (like Tron? It was super fun. You should definitely ride it). We used the food and beverage coupons to get a black hamburger and a Monsters, Inc. Green Friend ice cream (Melona flavor). It was a bit pricey. And on the way to Zootopia, I had a lot of fun watching the night show and fireworks. It was fantastic. The songs and videos were projected onto the castle. You should definitely visit Zootopia Park. You should definitely ride that attraction. It shows the entire Zootopia story, and it was so much fun. Since there weren't many people in the evening, I rode it twice. I was amazed by the technology. And it was cool. There was a goods shop on the way out. The night view was amazing, so I took a lot of pictures. It was great, I was satisfied. The restrooms were clean and had plenty of toilets. I also saw cosplayers. You can wear too much clothing without it looking weird, so I recommend wearing what you want. Be sure to bring your passport, ticket receipt, umbrella (for summer or rain), water, and tissues. All payments are made through Alipay.

What to eat at Shanghai Disneyland

Mickey & Pals Market Café

What to eat at Shanghai Disneyland

Source from Shanghai Disneyland Official​

Location​​: Main exit of Mickey Avenue, opposite Fantasia Carousel
​Highlights​​: Adjacent to parade route

A Mickey-themed eatery featuring decor celebrating Disney’s iconic characters – including a panoramic character mural and framed character sketches. While ideal for parade viewing (outdoor seating faces procession route), the food offers little Disney flair. Menu revolves around generic rice/noodle sets (only Mickey-shaped boiled eggs nod to theme). ​

Recommendation​​: Only dine here for parade sightlines.

​Wandering Moon Restaurant

What to eat at Shanghai Disneyland

​Source from Shanghai Disneyland Official

Location​​: Fantasy Garden near Treasure Cove
​Highlights​​: Imperial Chinese architecture / Mulan-inspired elements

A serene garden restaurant themed after a fictional Chinese poet. Its Jiangnan-style courtyards rank among the park’s most beautiful settings. Themed zones mirror China’s geography, with an "Adventure Isle-adjacent Gobi Desert" section seamlessly blending into nearby exploration aesthetics.

​Menu​​: Partnered with Master Kong – expect signature beef noodles (identical to supermarket version) and Peking duck sets. A newly added skewer counter (西北烧烤) serves grilled meat and beer (open until 2pm; winter availability unconfirmed). ​

Verdict​​: Prioritize ambiance over cuisine.

Lumière’s Kitchen​

What to eat at Shanghai Disneyland

​Source from Shanghai Disneyland Official

Location​​: Next to Roaring Rapids (Adventure Isle)
​Highlights​​: Turkey leg rice bowl / "Three Delicacies" veggie rice

A rustic wilderness-themed spot serving Adventure Isle’s coveted ​​turkey leg as a full set meal​​ (leg + multigrain rice + greens + drink) for ¥18 more than the standalone snack. Its nutty ​​multigrain rice​​ (¥10/serving) outshines standard park rice. ​

Tips​​:

  • Ideal for small groups (one set feeds two).
  • Top first-visit dining pick for unique local flavor.

​Barbossa’s Bounty​

What to eat at Shanghai Disneyland

​Source from Shanghai Disneyland Official

Location​​: Near El Teatro Fandango (Treasure Cove)
​Highlights​​: Pork rib rice / immersive pirate ambiance

Home of viral pork rib rice (¥110/set), this Pirates-integrated restaurant lets diners watch ride boats drift past while eating. Part seating overlooks Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, creating a unique "diners-as-sight" experience.

​Verdict​​: Must-try for first-timers despite premium pricing.

​Pinocchio Village Kitchen​

What to eat at Shanghai Disneyland

Source from Shanghai Disneyland Official​

Location​​: Across from "Voyage to the Crystal Grotto" (Fantasyland)
​Highlights​​: Mickey-shaped pizza

An Italian village-themed spot lined with Pinocchio story murals. Exclusive seller of ​​Instagram-famous Mickey-shaped pizzas​​ (avoid spicy chicken – excessively hot). Outshines greasy ribs/chicken for photo ops.

​Verdict​​: Optimal for family photos; story murals entertain kids.

​Tangled Tree Tavern​

What to eat at Shanghai Disneyland

​Source from Shanghai Disneyland Official

​Location​​: Near "Frozen: Sing-Along Celebration" (Fantasyland)
​Highlights​​: Rapunzel/Eugene-themed design

Faithful recreation of the Snuggly Duckling pub from Tangled, complete with wanted posters, royal crest tableware, and Rapunzel’s tower views. Menu features fried-food combos (decent but forgettable). ​

Verdict​​: Only worthwhile for Rapunzel superfans due to remote location.
