The Shanghai Disney Resort offers two official hotels :
- Shanghai Disneyland Hotel
- Toy Story Hotel.
Special Perks for Hotel Guests
If you’re staying at one of the Disney hotels, you’ll enjoy a magical early entry—you can enter the park one hour before the official opening time on the day your ticket is valid. This exclusive access is available through a priority entrance located at Disneytown.
Guests can take the Disney Resort Shuttle Bus to Disneytown before 11:00 AM and enter the park through the special priority entrance by presenting the hotel-issued verification card and a valid ID.
Shanghai Disneyland Hotel
Enjoy fairy-tale views of the Enchanted Storybook Castle right from your room! The hotel features an indoor pool and a small outdoor play area for kids.
On-site restaurants include:
-
Lumière’s Kitchen – buffet-style dining in a Beauty and the Beast–themed setting
-
Aurora – elegant Chinese cuisine with stunning views
Toy Story Hotel
Inspired by Andy’s bedroom from the Toy Story films, this hotel is bursting with childlike fun! It includes:
-
A playroom filled with brain-teasing toys
-
Meet-and-greet opportunities with Woody and Jessie
-
A family-friendly restaurant called Sunnyside Café
Why We Recommend Toy Story Hotel
While both hotels offer excellent experiences, Toy Story Hotel is our top pick , and here’s why:
-
It’s full of playful details — from the moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve stepped into a toy world. Perfect for kids!
-
Attentive service — thoughtful touches like kids’ bath kits packed in souvenir travel boxes are a sweet bonus.
-
Better value — the rooms are similar in size to those at the other hotel, but come at a more budget-friendly price. Plus, the corn dogs here are amazing—you'll find yourself grabbing one every time you pass the restaurant.
-
Kid-friendly lobby — there’s a spacious viewing area playing children’s movies throughout the day, making it a fun waiting and relaxation zone.
