What travellers say
It is an awesome trip. My kids love it so much. Looking forward to visit this place for the second time. Hope to see more discount from Pelago.
Had a great time with friends and family, unlimited ice-creams and fun activities, the kids enjoyed a lot. Booking on pelago was smooth and without any hustle
Easy to use. Remember to download Disney Shanghai app & set up an account prior. On the day itself just head straight to queue for entry, 1st queue is to queue to for security bag check clearance, after that proceed to queue for entry, everyone in the group just needs to present your passport at the entry gate to get pelago e-vouchers validated, everyone will then be given an actual disney ticket. Next is to use the Disney shanghai app to scan your tickets QR code to bind tickets w the app, after that everything can be done through the app. Tips- If you need strollers can just rent them from the locals who have set up stroller rentals outside disneyland. They belong to mainly 2 groups, the blue strollers or the light green strollers, we took the blue located immediately to the left after coming down from the pedestrian bridge before Disney entrance. These guys manning the stand were more flexible & personable. It’s convenient, reliable & best of all much cheaper than Disney's strollers. Quality of stroller is great too, comfortable, sturdy & smooth to push around. Comes w a cable lock too so can lock it to something if you prefer. Disney’s strollers are hard-shelled so not really comfortable to sit in. Pricing goes like this, Single 30rmb, double 60rmb, extra large that even adults can sit 98rmb for a whole day. Can just return them to the manned makeshift kiosk at the end of the day. The same person was still there when we returned it after 12hrs.
