Don’t get me wrong, it is a visually stunning park, but in terms of the package, we preferred HK and Shanghai. Crowds played a big part here too. Plus JTTCOTE was closed, maybe that could have swayed it?!

Thank you for writing your report, I e thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
We were in China in September , spent a couple of days in Shanghai. Beautiful city, highly recommend doing some sightseeing , apart from Disney. We use Express VPN, in China, think it’s about $14 a month, works really well, didn’t drop out very much, routed through HK, or London. |

Thank you for reading along!
It was Express VPN which we used and had problems with, I've since read that people recommend having a backup...hindsight and all that! And yes, agree that when visiting the Disney Parks, it's definitely worth visiting the sights and cities too! |

I have just binge read your report in a day! Absolutely loved it. Brilliant idea to visit all the parks and great to know how they all compare.
I was totally expecting Tokyo to come out on top, given all the fan fare about it, so genuine food for thought on the other parks which have also seemed to be side lined. Would you recommend staying at Disney and venturing out or would you rather have stayed in the cities themselves on reflection? It didn’t seem like you did too badly, aside from a couple of lost moments. The snacks look fab - both inside and outside of Disney. Finally congrats on completing your parks challenge - really is so fun to be able to say you’ve done that! Xx

Aww thank you for reading along.
We had an amazing time and are so glad we did it the way we did, even though people warned against it. Tokyo was definitely amazing, we just had a personal preference for the vibes, relative quietness, and technology of the newer parks. Tokyo was just so busy and more expensive! No we definitely are glad we did it the way we did - staying in Disney and going to the cities. Firstly, Disney hotels are something else. Secondly, the Disneyland Hotel in HK and Toy Story Hotel in Shanghai were a dream come true. Thirdly, the Disney days are so much longer and more tiring, so we'd rather be close to those hotels. Fourthly, we spent more time in Disney than in the cities so it was more efficient. What I might have done differently is split our Tokyo stay but equally it was nice to get there and unpack for a 6 nights as the moving around was tiresome. The train only took 40 mins so it was no big deal! Thanks again for reading along! |

Lovely trip report (as always). Good to see your list of highs was way longer than the lows.
