Shanghai Disneyland Tickets and Hotels: Prices, Metro and Tips

Short answer: a one-day ticket to Shanghai Disneyland started at about 475 yuan (about US$71) when I last checked, and the price depends on the date. Buy through the official Shanghai Disney Resort app or website, or through Trip.com, and bring the original passport you booked with. The park is at the end of Metro Line 11 (Disney Resort station). With a ticket, metro, food and one souvenir, plan on about 650–800 yuan (US$97–120) per person for the day.

How to get to Shanghai Disneyland

Take Metro Line 11 to Disney Resort station, the last stop on that branch. Use exit 1 or 4 and follow the signs, it’s a short walk to the gates. From People’s Square, count on about an hour.

Arrive 45–60 minutes before opening. Security and passport checks take time, and the first hour is the quietest time for the big rides.

What to do first

Rides worth heading to first: Zootopia, TRON Lightcycle Power Run and Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure. Head to one of them as soon as you’re in, then use the official app for wait times. Stay for ILLUMINATE! A Nighttime Celebration at the castle.

Hotels near Shanghai Disneyland

If you want an early start or plan two days, stay near the park.

Hotel	Why stay here

Note: the Wishing Star Ferry between the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and the park is closed from 4 to 30 November 2026. A free shuttle runs instead, according to the resort.

For one day at the park, staying in the city is fine. See where to stay in Shanghai.
