1 PlaceHow to Get to Shanghai Disneyland by Taxi / Didi?
Taking a taxi or Didi (Chinese ride-hailing app, like Uber) is the most comfortable way to get to Shanghai Disneyland, especially if you're tired, traveling in a group, or with kids.
Just keep one important thing in mind: Taxis and Didi cannot drop you off RIGHT at the park entrance.
They can only drop you at a designated area about 800 meters from the gate — on either side of the park.
You'll then need to walk 7–10 minutes to the check-in area, a little longer than walking from the metro.
How to Set Your Drop-off Spot
In Didi: search for "Shanghai Disneyland Main Entrance"
Or use the official pickup/drop-off point: Disney Resort Taxi Drop-off Area
Don't worry about the exact address — drivers all know where to go.
After getting out of the car, Just follow the signs or the crowd walking toward the big castle. You'll see the entrance soon.
