Money-Saving Tips for Shanghai Disneyland

At Shanghai Disneyland Resort, a few budget-friendly tips can help you make the most of your experience without overspending. Here are some useful ways to save:

  • Purchase Early Bird Tickets If you’re able to plan your trip in advance, Early Bird tickets are an excellent way to save money. Booking at least 10 days ahead earns you a discount of 60 RMB, approximately 13% off the standard price. Be sure to check the park’s peak and low season dates for even more savings during the off-season.
  • Take the Metro to Disneyland The metro is the most convenient and cost-effective way to reach Disneyland. Simply take Line 11, which goes directly to the Disneyland Station; from there, it’s just a short walk to the park. With a one-way fare of only 6 RMB, you’ll save compared to a taxi, avoid potential traffic delays, and maximize your travel budget.
  • Travel Light to Avoid Locker Fees If possible, travel light and skip the suitcase. Avoiding large luggage means you won’t need to pay locker fees, which can range from 60 to 80 RMB. Instead, bring a small backpack or shoulder bag for essentials, making it easier to get around the park.
  • Bring Your Own Snacks The park allows simple snacks, like packaged cookies or beef jerky, which can help reduce meal costs. However, avoid bringing strong-smelling foods, such as instant noodles or durian, as these may disturb other guests.
  • Carry a Water Bottle Bottled water in the park costs about 10 RMB, so bringing your own water bottle can save money. Refill stations are available throughout the park, allowing you to stay hydrated without spending extra on drinks.
  • Bring a Power Bank The park offers power bank rentals for 5 RMB per hour. To save this cost, bring your own power bank so you can charge your phone on the go and capture every memorable moment.
  • Dine at Disneytown Meals inside the park can be pricey, but Disneytown, located right next to the park, offers a variety of reasonably priced food options. Dining here not only lets you save but also gives you the chance to enjoy a range of international cuisines in a relaxed setting.
