When she said that Renminbi and Yuan are two different currencies😂😂😂😂. And in the Uk there’s two currencies too and they are both equal to each other: it can either be a pound or a quid. 😂😂😂

Great video and I really happy you had a great time in shanghai!!A little tip, there is only one currency in mainland China. Simply speaking , CNY is the international name of Chinese currency, just like USD HKD etc... But for the domestic use, we call it renminbi in Chinese and we use yuan(kind of like "buck" in English) to measure it. So, they all refer to one currency .You're so great!

Great tips, thanks Shannon! I'll be visiting SHDL very soon, and will keep the WiFi tip in mind (or I'll get a travel SIM). My home Disney is currently Hong Kong. I've been to TDR a bunch of times when I was little. TDR is a whole different story since it's operated by separate company from the Parks, can't even compare them together. It seems like the storybook show is unique to Shanghai and HK specifically. When I searched the Shanghai storybook show up, the shows are slightly different but closely resemble one another. I do have to say that the Hong Kong show seems superior as all their songs are in English, and their live performance is consistent. If you're travelling to HKDL, do keep in mind that there's no standby pass for the storybook show (unless you're a platinum annual pass holder). You will also need to queue around an hour early to get the best seats in the house. By the way, Duffy the Disney Bear is a character that flopped in Disney World or Disneyland in the early 2000s, Tokyo took the rights, revamped and made the guy pop off, and it's one of the best known characters of the Asian Disneylands! I still remember the early years of when Duffy just made his debut in TDS and met him. Happy park hopping x

Thanks for the tips! Going next month. If I get a SIM card ahead of time I don’t need to go to guest relations, right? Also, do I need the app at all once I’m in?

Yes I think you’ll be fine without going to guest relations if you already have it sorted! You don’t necessarily need the app, but I find it extremely helpful for show times, parade times, character meets, wait times on rides, any ride closures etc ☺️

Hi Shannon, so you said that the ticket you purchased was delivered to you in the form of e-ticket? then you said that we need to go to the ???? (sorry i did not catch what you said there) to turn into a paper ticket with the bar code... Can you please tell me here where should i go to turn the e-ticket into the paper ticket please... i did not get what you said in the video... Sorry... And also, do we need to determine the visit date when we purchase the ticket from KLOOK? or is it a flexi date? Thanks Shannon

@ShannonTownsend

Ай бұрын

Hi! Yes, so it’s sent via email and then if I can remember correctly, there are turnstiles just before the actual entry to the parks. That’s where you will scan the barcode on your e-ticket and you’ll be given a paper ticket. After that is when you get in the regular queue for entry to the park and you’ll scan your new paper ticket in the same way and you’ll be let through. I hope that makes more sense. Everything is sign posted and there are cast members everywhere too, so it’s not something you do completely on your own. All will become clear when you arrive ☺️

It’s yuan … Chinese renminbi … please can you say how much CNY we needed for this trip of Disney land

Hi,I would like to download the Shanghai Disneyland app before heading to Shanghai. Is it possible to download the app without a china number? Thanks!!!

@ShannonTownsend

4 ай бұрын

Hi!! Yes absolutely! You can download the app whenever and wherever you like! The only reason I couldn’t access the app until I had the WiFi was because I had no access to the internet without it. So I could access the app but I couldn’t see wait times and show times for example until I had that internet access which I got eventually through their Disney WiFi. It’s the Disney WiFi that you can’t connect to without a Chinese phone number, but the cast members at guest services fixed this for us 🫶🏻 I hope this makes more sense! Thank you for watching!!

@@ShannonTownsend Thank you very much. I am planing to visit Shanghai Disneyland end of the year and now starting to do some survey. Indeed, I found out the payment method is also the main problem there. Visa or MasterCard is not widely accepted by them. Even cash they also unlikely to accept as they less using cash for transactions so they do not have enough change if your cash value is more than the price.
