Shanghai Disneyland NOT for tourists.

Spent over $700 AUD for tickets for a family of four plus another $80 AUD for travel (to and from) and another $200 AUD on food and a few overpriced souvenirs. It was a waste of time, waste of money and a complete waste of an entire day. The queues were over 150 minutes each for most rides and we spent 10 hours there for a sum of four rides (two being kiddie rides as we ran out of patience with the queues), what a waste of a day! There are supposedly 25 million Chinese living in Shanghai and 24 million of them are at Disneyland. The number of free fastpasses available are extremely limited and are all gone within one hour of Disneyland opening but the staff then try to sell you VIP / Premier ride passes (costing over $100AUD each).

Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else to have a more enjoyable and productive day. Wasting close to $1000 AUD for 4 rides for a family of 4 for 10 hours is a waste of time and money. Even going to two different guest services to complain was useless as I was directed to go to the front gate guest services which was a fair walk and only wasted more time. The front gate guest house only provided one family fast pass and only after going there twice. Shanghai Disneyland is not for tourists.

Shanghai Disneyland should provide at least 2 fast passes per family who are visiting from overseas, travelled significant distances and spent considerable money to attend. My own children (15 years and 17 years gave Shanghai a 5 out of 10 rating due to the long waiting times). I have experienced Disneyland in America (much shorter waiting times) over 20 years ago and now wanted to give my family a similar Disneyland experience but after this experience, don't bother. As a tourist, it is not worth the cost, not worth the time and is a complete waste of a day (10 hours for 4 rides) that would be better spent elsewhere.
