Shanghai Disney

As luck would have it, we would be visiting Shanghai Disney on Mickey Mouse’s birthday: 88 years after his first cartoon debut in Steamboat Willie! In addition, we’re visiting in the park’s fifth month in operation.

(By the way, the castle is the largest Disney castle in the world, and it shows!)
