Shanghai Disneyland has been making headlines since it opened in 2016, with people reportedly waiting for up to FIVE hours to get on a single attraction. (Crazy!!!)

If you’re going to be lucky enough to visit, we want to help you make the most magic out of your trip. So here are the five things you have to do at Shanghai Disney Resort:

1. TRON Lightcycle Power Run

You might think you know roller coasters, but have you ever been on one that has replaced the traditional seats with motorcycle-style seats? That’s right, Tron Lightcycle is more like riding a motorbike than sitting on a ride.

Honoring the TRON franchise (which started with a film in 1982) with one of the coolest and fastest indoor roller coasters in any Disney theme park!

Does TRON measure up to Space Mountain? It most certainly does!

Insider Tip: Ride TRON during the day, and then return for an amazing light-blur sensation at night.

2. Wishing Star Park

With all the fun in the parks, it’s easy to miss the peaceful scenery and lush greenery of the Wishing Star Park located along the shoreline of a beautiful lake, near Disneytown. 

Whether you explore the park’s woodlands, gaze upon a garden combining both Chinese and Western rose natives and cultivars, or marvel at a colorful space called home by a mix of tile birds and butterflies, you’re sure to find a setting that will bring your inner child to life — as only the magic of Disney can!

3. Enchanted Storybook Castle 

Disney castles in Anaheim, Paris, and Hong Kong belong to Sleeping Beauty. Cinderella-inspired the castles in Orlando and Tokyo. So who’s castle is this?

Shanghai Disneyland built this castle as a tribute to all the Princesses. It is as impressive as it is massive.No two sides are alike.
