Just over a month to go...

Postby KeithS » Thu May 12, 2016 1:25 pm

Shanghai Disneyland opens in less than a month and already they are busy hosting test runs of guests throughout the park.  Cast members and their families have been enjoying the park for the last week or so as operations cast members learn how to control large crowds and operate rides.

Of course - one of the side effects of having large numbers of people ride the attractions is that there is no way to stop videos of attraction ride-throughs from being posted online.

I'm not going to post any of them here as I don't want to tempt our intrepid opening-day club members into clicking and spoiling the surprises; however for those of you not going (e.g. me!), then you can take the chance to look at some of the attractions coming soon to Shanghai Disneyland (hint: Pirates looks amazing...)

Can't wait to hear the trip reports from those going. Especially in regard to the behavior of the Chinese.

me too...
and I am also guilty of having sat through a few of the hour long walk throughs that have been posted on youtube.  I'm really keen to go and try out the pirates and tron rides.  I think I'll leave it a year or so before I go there so that all the kinks are ironed out first though.

A special "Shanghai Disney" visa would be handy. Chinese is an expensive visa to get if you only want to go for a couple of days.

Me either - how much are they Greg?  I've never bothered to look into it.  Maybe someone going on the trip can let us know what it cost them and how they applied?

I remember paying about $100 for mine but that was a while ago. There are special circumstances if you are doing a stopover in Shanghai but i have a feeling it has to be part of a trip and not just a return. 

I'd be interested in hearing the latest from someone going as well.

It looks amazing.

Hey, do you know if anybody is still looking for a ticket to the opening day?  A friend of mine is unable to convince one of her teens that she NEEDS to go so has a ticket she would like to sell.

Only one week to go!  Some of our club members have already left on the big Shanghai Opening Club Trip, with most of the others heading off this weekend.

To all the travellers out there - don't forget us and let us know what you are doing!

Shanghai Disneyland has now been opened for 13 minutes and we still haven't gotten a trip report?  What are they doing over there?

hahahaha

Haven't any of them heard of twitter, this is exactly what it's designed for.

I was thinking the same... where's the update :lol:  actually, twitter is the only one I don't bother with anymore.  I was hoping someone might be periscoping or doing something swish on stellar.  Although, the great firewall of China might be tough to get that kind of social media out.

Oh, hadn't thought of that. There may be some radio silence then for a while.
