KBrylczyk Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Flights are crazy cheap right now from Orlando to Shanghai for next year - well at least compared to Japan - I'm talking under $1k on Delta. Has anyone started to look into planning a trip to the park? It saves me nearly 900 bucks to fly to Shanghai vs to Tokyo so I'm thinking maybe pit-stop for Disney. But is it worth the hassle to go to China for a day or two? Holy crap! Round trip from Vegas is under $700! Now if only we had a more concrete date than "Spring 2016."

KBrylczyk Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 ^ I highly, highly doubt flights are cheap because Disney doesn't have a concrete date, guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm assuming flights are cheaper because of the Chinese economy struggling right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

window Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Ok so this isn't a exactly a Shanghai Disneyland update, but could be useful to people from the North of the UK (me). Last week the Chinese President was visiting the UK and it was announced that from July 2016 you will be able fly direct from Manchester to Beijing for the first time. http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/manchester-airport-to-beijing-new-route-with-hainan-airlines/ Previously you could fly direct from Manchester to Hong Kong, but never into China. I am planning on visiting SDL and HKDL next year and would've had to fly in and out of Hong Kong. Now I can fly into one and out of the other.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well, Shanghai is basically equidistant between Hong Kong and Beijing. Unless you wanted to go that route to begin with and see all those places, it doesn't help much for Disney. ^Did you go and see it when you were there last month? Pictures? We saw it when we flew past is on the MagLev train. We didn't have the ability to so drive around the property, or get on property. I will say its so massive to see it off in the distance from the train, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewRnR Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Holy crap! Round trip from Vegas is under $700! Now if only we had a more concrete date than "Spring 2016." Haha, exactly! I've been bugging some friends who will be going out to open the park as part of the project team and for what its worth they said they are being told they'll have a more concrete date in the coming two weeks.

Nrthwnd Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 ....Holy crap! Round trip from Vegas is under $700! Now if only we had a more concrete date than "Spring 2016." How about, the day after June 21st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any updates? Apparently I'm not the only one staring at a calendar for next year, thinking about planning a visit to the new park... the recent announcement by American Airlines raising the number of miles needed means I definitely want to book by March.

gerstlaueringvar Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The Shanghai Disney Resort subway station is getting ready for its grand opening. How do you all think about the design? Photos from Asia Attractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 It does not feel very Disney-ish but hey, it's already alot better than Marne-la-Vallée train station (DLP)! In another news, from Themeparx we got this map with future expansions, and surprise, who's there? (Themeparx via Ameworld) Expedition Everest clone! If it means a fully working Yeti, I'm so hyped!

gerstlaueringvar Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 It does not feel very Disney Yeah, I feel like Hong Kong's station is the best, it really gives a Disney vibe.

BDG Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 That's a very old map though. Part of that space has already been used by the Seven Dwarfs coaster and Pirates of the Caribbean, neither of which are on this map. And where it says future expansion on the other side of the park, TRON was built. TRON however is already on the map, but in a different location, which now has Buzz Lightyear and Stitch Encounter.

better_by_design Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Nice find! And nice station! For a station that's part of the regular metro system, this looks pretty great! It'll be interesting to see if they liven it up with lighting/projections... that main dome in particular could be very pretty. No doubt HKDL has the best train station of any Disney resort... but I'd say this one compares favorably with TDL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The station looks nice on the inside, but the entrance is quote bland and stale.... As long as it's functional, no big deal!

Jew Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 They are all underwhelming, mainly because I don't think Disney is responsible for their design in any way. But hey, as long as they get people to the park... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 ^ This pic is missing the dudes selling little Eiffel Towers, though. Um....no comment. Actually, we bought it over at the Eiffel Tower, itself. And those guys selling stuff were never to be seen, during our entire visit. (Pardon for the DLPR diversion.)
