NEWS: Priority Entrance and Advance FastPass Reservation for Hotel Guests at Shanghai Disney Resort

Recently, Shanghai Disneyland added two new benefits for guests staying at a Disney Hotel. The Shanghai Disney Resort has two: the Toy Story Hotel and the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. Both hotels already offered many ‘Disney’ benefits, but now advance reservation of Disney FastPass and priority entrance to Shanghai Disneyland are added to the list.

The first benefit for guests who stay at the hotels is the advance FastPass reservation. Earlier, Shanghai Disneyland only worked with in-park reservations of the FastPass. Now, hotel guests booking park tickets or a Disney hotel and park tickets bundle package via specified channels are eligible to reserve one Disney Fastpass in advance for their upcoming park visit when checking in.

The second benefit is the early and easy access to the park. The entrance is located at Disneytown and is open earlier than the park’s main entrance. Guests can take the Shanghai Disney Resort shuttle to Disneytown in the morning period to enter Shanghai Disneyland through the Disneytown priority entrance with the credential provided by the hotel, their park tickets and the personal ID/travel document used to purchase the tickets.

These new benefits are a nice way to draw more guests to the Shanghai Disney Resort Hotels. Shanghai Disneyland recently opened Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land, its first expansion. This land features three rides: Slinky Dog Spin, Rex’s Racer and Woody’s Roundup.

Guests can interact Woody and Jessie at a meeting point, shop in Al’s Toy Barn, or have a quick snack in the Toy Box Café.

The land seems very nice, so extra time in the park for Hotel Guests might be useful! Have you already planned a trip to the Shanghai Disney Resort?

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
