Shanghai Disneyland is the second Disney park in mainland China and opened in 2016 in Chuansha, on Pudong's eastern edge. The 391-hectare site centers on the Enchanted Storybook Castle — Disney's tallest, hosting all the princesses (not just Cinderella). Signature attractions unique to Shanghai include TRON Lightcycle Power Run (a fast launch coaster, copied later to Magic Kingdom), Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure (often rated the world's best dark ride), and Soaring Over the Horizon. Buy tickets in advance (Disney website or Trip.com) — same-day tickets sell out on weekends. Use Disney Premier Access (paid skip-the-line) for the top 3 rides if you only have one day. Lines are shortest after 6pm; the park is open until 8 or 9 most nights. Reach by Metro Line 11 to Disney Resort Station; allow 60–80 min from downtown.
