We visited Disney Shanghai on Oct 19 2026 (also a special Halloween day).
However, our day was quite efficient. We did not come via early access, but directly at official opening of the park at 08:30am and stayed until end of day (10 pm official closure).
We bought 3 DPA passes (for Zootopia, for TRON and for Soaring), and managed to do following rides. The other ones did not have queues longer than 40 minutes when we did them:
TRON (DPA)
Soaring (DPA)
Zootopia Hot Pursuit (DPA)
Pirates of the Caribbean (two times – 2nd time was directly after the first night time show, so there was only 5 mins queue)
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Roaring Rapids
Peter Pan’s Flight
Winnie the Pooh
Voyage to the Crystal Grotto
Camp Discovery – Challenge Trails
Furthermore we watched all of the parades and night time shows, and visited 3 sit-in restaurants throughout the day (plus several smaller F&B points and some souvenir shops).
Comments for Disney Park Guests Warned to Now Expect Queues of 600+ Minutes

Sorry. NOTHING at any Disney Park is worth a 10 hour wait. NOTHING. Disney is out of control.
