The ticket price for weekdays is 370 RMB (57 USD) and 499 RMB (77 USD) for peak days, which include national holiday, weekends and student’s summer holiday (July and August).
At the entrance of Shanghai Disney resort, the Mickey Avenue is the first attraction for you. This avenue plays the role of greeting all the guests as they enter the resort. Mickey and other cartoon characters will be on the avenue to welcome you, so you can play with these lovely friends as soon as you enter.
The Mickey Fountain with his famous steamboat in front of the avenue offers an excellent photo opportunity for you. Children will clap with joy when they see Mickey piloting a steamboat towards them. The steamboat looks like the one in Walt Disney’s first cartoon film Steamboat Willie, shot in 1928. The fountain and steamboat were made to salute the great cartoon maker.
