• A closer look at the Enchanted Storybook Castle in the distance.
• Just before 7am went upstairs for breakfast at the Magic Kingdom Club.
• My first plate this morning a variety of character waffles and some bacon (it was a challenge to find crisp or even sometimes cooked bacon).
• From my table at breakfast I could look I toward Tron and beyond it downtown Shanghai was sort of visible.
• To the right the rest of Shanghai Disneyland.
• Back to the room to get ready for the day. A random picture of the air vent design.
• Arrived at the Disneytown entrance to the park which was open only for Hotel guests 10 minutes before park opening and this line greeted me.

• Some Disneytown signs from the queue as I waited.

• 8:18am and in the park heading to Mickey Avenue.
• Found a spot for Zao Shang Hao, Mickey. With about 10 minutes to spare. Then a cast member came over and told me they had cancelled the show (about the same time the announcement was made)
• Mickey and Minnie arriving for pictures.
• So I set off into the park. First stop Dumbo the Flying Elephant which is located in front of the castle in the Garden of Imagination in this park, not Fantasyland. I have experienced the attraction in the other five castle parks so I had to do it in this one too.
• The queue signage features both Chinese and English.
• On the next flight.
• Dumbo looks the same as the other current styles (Tokyo is the lone park with the older style).
• Onboard and ready to soar.
• Controls, instructions, and safety info.
