Hello, bee bee.
If financial conditions permit, it is recommended to stay at a Disney-owned hotel. There are two types of hotels under Disney, you can choose according to your needs.
Stay at a Disney hotel
The biggest advantage of staying at a Disney-owned hotel is that the hotel is within the resort area, close to the hotel, and there is a free shuttle bus to and from the hotel. If you purchase tickets for the next day from the hotel front desk, you can get an exclusive card for a project for free, which is great value. Moreover, you can form a group directly after purchasing the tickets. You do not need to spend time to form a group after entering the park, which saves a lot of time for grabbing exclusive cards and making reservations and waiting cards.
Hotel guests are eligible to enter the park in advance with their room card. They can enter the park up to 1 hour to 1.5 hours in advance without purchasing an early access card. Enter the park 1-1.5 hours in advance. You can enjoy 2-3 more popular activities. It is worth it. Especially during the May Day peak season, the number of tourists is very large. Early access cards and exclusive cards are very expensive, which is even more prominent. The advantages of staying at our hotels.
【Shanghai Disneyland Hotel】
The Park Hotel is the first choice for staying in Disney-owned hotels. If the financial strength allows, it is recommended that this hotel be the first choice. The atmosphere in the hotel is very strong, and dolls come out every hour to interact with tourists. The hotel rooms will provide Disney-style decorations and supplies, and there will be magic on the bedside waiting for you to discover~
If you are staying with children, the hotel will also provide a magic cabinet~which is very cool.
From the hotel room, you can overlook Disneyland on the other side. In addition, in addition to the shuttle bus, the Disneyland Hotel also has an exclusive water passage for hotel guests. Use your room card to take a boat at the back door of the hotel, and you can reach Disneyland on the other side in about 5 minutes.
The disadvantage is that the price of the paradise hotel is relatively expensive, and the price/performance ratio is not very high.
【Toy Story Hotel】
If you are pursuing relatively cost-effectiveness, you must choose the Toy Story Hotel. The hotel is not small in size. The most important thing is that the price is much cheaper than the Paradise Hotel, but the services you enjoy are the same as the Paradise Hotel.
The disadvantage is that, relatively speaking, it does not have as strong an atmosphere as the Disneyland Hotel. There is no view of Disneyland from the hotel room. But in fact, these two small shortcomings are nothing. After all, I mainly play in the park and spend relatively little time in the hotel.
Stay at nearby B&Bs or other hotels
In addition to the two hotels owned by Disney, there are many hotels around the Disney Resort. You can choose based on the ratings.
When choosing, please pay attention to: 1. Whether free shuttle bus can be provided to and from the park, and what is the shuttle bus time and frequency. 2. How long does it take to get to and from the park?
If you choose to stay at a non-affiliated hotel, it is recommended that you purchase early admission or fast-track services during the May Day period.
【Early Card】
Early access cards can be purchased in advance. Using early access cards has the same access as hotel check-in and early entry. You can enter the park 1 hour to 1.5 hours in advance. This way, you can not only play more popular activities, but most importantly, you can grab them in advance. Appointment waiting card and privilege card.
【Exclusive Card】
May Day is the peak holiday season, so it is recommended to purchase an exclusive card after entering the park. This is recommended regardless of whether you are staying at a Disney-owned hotel or not. The privilege card is valid within a relatively wide time range, and you can go at any time within the valid time range. Usually the price of a package is much more cost-effective than the price of a single item, so you can check which packages you want to buy a day in advance, and you can purchase them directly after entering the park and confirming them.
The price of the exclusive card can only be displayed and determined on the day, and the price one day in advance is only for reference. In addition to purchasing packages, you can also purchase exclusive cards for some popular items individually. Although the exclusive card is not cheap, it is really fun to use, especially for those items that require queuing for two or three hours.

Above, I wish you a happy trip!
