Things to know before booking Shanghai Disneyland tickets

  • Shanghai Disneyland tickets are not sold at the park entrance, so booking online in advance is essential. Tickets, especially for peak days and holidays, sell out quickly.
  • To avoid disappointment, secure your tickets at least 2 weeks ahead. Online booking ensures your preferred date, ticket type, and any Premier Access options are guaranteed.
  • All standard tickets include full-day access to all eight themed zones, rides, attractions, parades, and shows.
  • If you’re on a tight schedule and want only the highlights, the 1-day Ticket is ideal. For a more relaxed pace that allows you to experience every ride, show, and parade, the 2-day Ticket is recommended. Both options give full access to the park but vary in how much you can comfortably cover.
  • Premier Access tickets let you skip long queues at select rides, with options for 3, 6, 8, or 14 attractions. They are perfect if you want to maximize your day and avoid waiting, especially during peak seasons. These passes are linked to your standard ticket and cannot be used independently.
  • Adult 1-Day tickets range from CN¥475 (Regular days) to CN¥799 (Peak Plus). Child (under 1.4 m) and senior tickets are about 25% less. Children under 1.0 m enter free.
  • Tickets are non-transferable and linked to your passport or ID. You must present the same ID used at purchase to enter the park. This ensures a smooth entry and prevents any confusion or invalid ticket issues.
  • Get the Shanghai Disney Resort app to plan your itinerary ahead of time so you don’t have to wait in long queues or miss your favorite attractions.
