【Tour order】

It is recommended to play “from right to left” counterclockwise after entering the park, so you don’t have to go back.

Combine the operating hours of each project, as well as personal experience, I feel that the right half is suitable for daytime play, and the left half is suitable for evening play.

Enter the park during the day, you can take photos of the castle first, take photos with Disney characters (Qibao gets off work at 3:00 pm), and then head towards the Adventure Island project, playing counterclockwise all the way.

The Mine Cars, Embrace the Dragon, and other projects on the left side can be played in the evening to see a beautiful sunset. The Tron: Lightcycle Run, carousel, etc. are more beautiful at night.

1. Route: See Figure 3

Figure 3

2. Time: 15:45-16:30

Depending on your location, the time you see the flower car will be different. We were standing on Mickey Avenue at the time, and we saw the first car at 16:00.

If you just stand in a fixed position to watch, it will last about 15 minutes from the first car to the last car. If you follow the car all the way, it will take about 45 minutes from the starting point to the end point.

【Disney Light Fireworks Show】

1. Location: The Castle

2. Time: 20:30-20:45

3. Viewing location: See Figure 4

Figure 4

I’m a casual player, for me, the best position to watch the fireworks show is in the first flower bed after entering the park. I didn’t get there until 20:10, and no one was standing in the first row. Except for being a little further away, other aspects are good, the position is straight, no obstruction, and full view.
