Where they actually stayed
Toy Story Hotel
Actually stayed · 2 nights · Day 9 · Day 10
Travelshorts’ account: Fun, heavily themed Disney hotel with convenient complimentary shuttle bus running directly to Disneytown and park entrance. Great perk of getting one hour early theme park access, though shuttle bus queue in the morning was 35 minutes.
Observed during this stay: Disneyland shuttle bus, Food court, Sunnyside Cafe, Themed elevators, courtesy shuttle bus to Shanghai Disneyland, early park entry. These are historical observations, not a current amenities guarantee.
