berjimba di disneyland shanghai

assalamualaiakum

kembali lagi ke entry berbaur travel di blog ini. setelah sekian lama tak berupdate. i ni kan pernah travel ke 3 negara overseas je yakni thailand, itu pun di zaman kegemilangan super junior, seterunya ke dubai untuk pertandingan debat dan china -- the real living experience ecehh. so kehadapan suamiku, silalah ambil perenggan pendahuluan ini sebagai hint untuk bawa binimu melencong ke negara lain sebelum kaki kita dipanjat oleh anak anak ahahaha.

okay let's get back on track. so as mentioned before, i am a freak when it comes to theme parks because i love roller coasters and extreme rides. maka bila i tahu sahaja di benua china ada 2 disneylands, i pun memang merancang untuk pergi kedua duanya. last time i dah cover my experience visiting disneyland hong kong, so today i nak cover my trip to disneyland shanghai.

trip kami to disneyland shanghai ni berlansung dekat dekat nak graduate di china. i think it was in april or may of 2019. so selain daripada niat nak jalan jalan sebab dah alang2 shanghai is only 2 hours away from our campus, we also decided to take our pre-graduation photos kat sana. so we brought along our convocation robes and of course we attracted a lot of people bila kami sarungkan robes kami and posing dekat entrance disneyland tu. baguslah korang stare kat kitorang, kitorang boleh minta tolong korang ambilkan gambar ahaks!

setelah dah ambil gambar pre-convo kat depan ni barulah proses berjimba bermula. kenalah ambil gambar dulu sebelum tudung ronyok ronyok kan hihi.

waktu i pergi disneylang shanghai ni, i ada buat story dkt instagram, my review. my feedback is this place was packed walaupun pergi weekdays, i don't know why. i didn't even get to cover 30% of the rides sebab queue sangat panjang dan everywhere got people. this was even more congested than my first visit to disneyland hong kong and that was on a weekend tau! sumpah tak paham.

another thing is, in disneyland shanghai, almost everything is in mandarin, even the acts and the songs. so for me, it did took a bit out of my childhood bila lagu2 legend pon dinyanyikan dalam bahasa cina. nothing against the language tho, i just thought all disneyland would be using a universal language.

so since it was super-packed, i tak dapat pun naik semua rides. jangankan semua, most of the famous rides pun tak dapat nak naik sebab queue terlalu panjang and waiting time terlalu lama. dia mcm, beratur pun dah penat sampai tak ada mood nak main. penat berdiri je kat line. nasib baik tak panas kalau tak berkicap nak tunggu hahaha.

we did take a lot of photos tho haha

despite all the languages and acts performed in mandarin, the parade was awesome. the costumes were on point so i would still say that i enjoyed the parades.

some of the attractions that we managed to visit is the enchanted storybook castle. it's just a castle and not a ride, good for photography jelah. tapi mcm castle castle ni of course la kena masuk kan bila dah sampai disneyland. 

would say that the castle is beautiful tapi tak ada apa sgt pun for me on the inside so kitorang jalan jalan je dalam ni. perhaps there are some interesting stuff yang kami tak betul2 discover pun.

the castle

the view on the inside. jangan pening, i saja acah cool take video terbalik haha

bila i belek belek gambar gambar kan, mcm sedih gila rupanya less than 5 rides/experiences yang i dapat lalui sepanjang trip tu. sedeyh mak haha. tapi i'm glad i got to ride the TRON lightcycle power run. best gila ride ni! mcm roller coaster tapi atas motor tron tu la kan. cumanya wait time dia lamaaaaa sangat. i think i queued for more than 45 mins, nasib baik worth it tau. the ride tho? laju nakmampos.

untuk orang2 pendek mcm i, akan rasa sakit kaki sikit lepas naik tron ride ni sbb mcm naik motor kan, kalau taknak kaki berhayun hayun kena kentalkan position kaki dkt tempat dia tu. agak lenguh la tapi i would say it's 10/10 so worth it!

the design is sooo cool tau! i'm amazed la dgn disneyland punya setup ni. wish i could open a theme park as good as this.

then we also rode the pirates of the caribbean battle for the sunken treasure. ini sumpah 1000/10 mmg gempak sangat. the animations, screens, movements semua perfect and super realistic. mcm betul2 jumpa johnny depp wey! ini mmg unforgettable punya experience. try to not be like me and capture the whole thing on camera, instead, focus on absorbing the experience sbb mmg best gila!!! i would totally say that this should be the main attraction haha!! i really really recommend this one if you guys visit disneyland shanghai!

the last one ni tak sure sgt what the name of the attraction is or even where is it tapi we watched a performance of frozen. it's in mandarin though so as a non-native speaker, i didn't get everything out of it. but the act is cute and amazing la with the snowflakes falling semua. 

the final fireworks show dia however, a bit disappointing sbb dia bukan mcm light show dkt main street of disneyland hongkong where kita duduk tepi2 jalan and the parade was all through the street. instead, dia buat dekat dekat dgn castle so orang berpenuh mcm tengok concert gitu. if you're close enough, you'll get the bets view, and i didn't even get to see most of them. dah la masa i tgh nak tengok tu ada orang kentut, terus tak dapat nak enjoy hahaha hauk!!

all and all, i would say that disneyland shanghai is okay. kalau tak packed sgt, maybe ada banyak rides lagi yang boleh explore and leaving me satisfied. tapi sebab packed, tak larat nak beratur, so jadi mcm tak enjoy gituuh. cuba la baca2 review apa waktu terbaik nak pergi okay. masa i pergi tu bukannya cuti sekolah ke apa, weekday lagi, tetaplah sardine dalam disneyland tu. tak puas macam pergi hongkong. tp rides dia semua nampak best2. however i still don't feel like repeating the trip just to get on more rides maybe sbb i rasa the first time is enough kot.
