A happy magical experience

June 2 is my wife's 62nd birthday. Shanghai Disneyland sent a text message saying that in order to express her birthday wishes, a Disneyland ticket for June 11 was presented. This is indeed an unexpected surprise, let us very moved, it reflects the care and warmth of the elderly from all walks of life in Shanghai.

His wife is a typical traditional woman with a good wife and mother, with strong family values, especially after retirement, working hard at home and outside the home, always keeping the happiness of her family in mind. Now three generations in the same house, happy, filial piety and grandchildren, family prosperity, she is the hero of our family. In order to make her happy, I decided to go to play with her.

Unfortunately, Wang, chief physician of Shanghai traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, whom we made an appointment a few days ago, informed us that on June 11, arrangements were made for my wife and me to see a doctor and have an examination. Doctor Wang is a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Shanghai, so it is even more difficult to register him. After thinking about it, we decided to see a doctor first and then go to Disney. On this day, we took the subway train to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. after seeing the doctor, it was nearly noon, we had a hasty lunch near the hospital and took a taxi to Disneyland.

To tell you the truth, if I hadn't accompanied my wife, I wouldn't have thought of playing Shanghai Disneyland. First, when I went to Hong Kong Disneyland more than a decade ago, I imagined that Shanghai Disneyland would probably look like that; second, in my impression, Disneyland should be a place for children to have fun and a place for young people to find exciting romance. Therefore, the fate with the elderly is not deep; third, the ticket price is not cheap. However, through most of the day's happy magical experiences and tours, I completely subverted the original concept, saw the different feelings between Shanghai and Hong Kong Disneyland, and realized the joy and happiness brought to us by human wisdom, civilization and scientific innovation.

Shanghai Disneyland, located in Chuanshaxin Town, Pudong New area, Shanghai, officially opened on June 16, 2016. It is the first Disney theme park in mainland China. The park has six theme parks: Mickey Street, Fantasy Garden, Adventure Island, Treasure Bay, tomorrow World and Dream World.

There are six Disneyland in the world, namely, Los Angeles Disneyland, Orlando Disneyland World, Tokyo Disneyland, Paris Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland.

Shanghai Disneyland is the first Disney theme park in Chinese mainland and the third Disney theme park in Asia. It covers an area of 700 hectares, nearly six times the 126 hectares of Hong Kong Disneyland, making it even more magnificent and magnificent. Due to the late establishment of the park, the content of science and technology is higher, and it is more interesting, entertaining and extensive.

Because we came out late, our son suggested that we first walk around, have a look, and take a tour of the whole park. Then choose a few key projects to experience. He suggested that Treasure Bay and flying over the horizon are two projects that you must experience when you come to Disneyland.

When I came to the gate of Disneyland, the first thing I saw was the steamboat Mickey Fountain, which was inspired to pay tribute to the animation "Steamboat Willie" created by Mr. Walt Disney in 1928. It was this animation that made people all over the world know Mickey. So this steamship has special commemorative significance.

Entering the entrance of Shanghai Disneyland is Mickey Street, which is flanked by various attics and lintels full of Western classical charm. It is the first welcome avenue in Disneyland around the world designed with Mickey and his happy buddies as the theme, where Minnie, Donald Duck, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto gather.

Walking into Shanghai Disneyland, the most shocking picture is the towering princess castle in front of you. According to Robert Iger, president and CEO of the Walt Disney Company, every Disneyland has a fairy tale castle as a landmark, but the castle in Shanghai is the tallest and largest of all Disneyland. In addition, unlike ordinary castles, there are a large number of tourist interactive activities and performances in the castles of Shanghai Disneyland.

The battle of the Pirates of the Caribbean to sink the treasure is a spectacular indoor boat rafting adventure. Led by Captain Jack, we stole Captain David Jones' most precious treasure in a joyous adventure. Treasure Bay is the first Disneyland park in the world with the theme of piracy. The Treasure Bay, specially built for Shanghai Disneyland, is home to a group of happy pirates, looking for fun and exciting adventures. Here, the fierce collision of color, vision and music blends the impetuous, frivolous and wandering personalities of the pirates into a variety of exotic cultures, showing detailed depiction and storytelling.

Where cruise ships pass, they will encounter intrepid pirates, mermaids, and even North Sea trolls. Disney's patented sound animation technology, robotic technology and the latest achievements more vividly recreate the stories of landscapes and pirates. All kinds of pirates have exaggerated shapes and dynamic expressions, which are full of humor and comedy.

Soar over the horizon, make your dream come true, and start a journey around the world that you have never seen before. Lead us to overlook the most representative landmarks in the world and visit every continent and ocean. Starting from the observatory monuments in the misty forest, we soar in the sky like seabirds, enjoying the wonders of the landscape: the surging prairie, the stormy sea, the roaring waterfalls, the camels walking in the endless desert, the pyramids, the Taj Mahal, the Shanghai skyline and the beauty of the Great Wall of China.

Flying over the Horizon (FP) is the most popular project in the park, not one of them. There is even a thrilling feeling of weightlessness during the flight, you can still smell the fragrance of grass when flying over the African prairie, and you can feel the fear and coolness of spray splashing when the waves hit you. Absolutely lifelike and spectacular, there is a sense of immersive, shocking and amazing!

Although the experience of the above two exciting projects is only a few minutes, the hard queuing takes nearly 2 hours, and it is said that the peak season lasts 3-4 hours. I inadvertently looked at the line standing in the shape of E, except for my wife and I, I really did not see the figure of the elderly. In order to get rid of the monotonous queue, like tourists, we spend every minute surfing the Internet and chatting on our mobile phones. By the time it was our turn to experience, we were already physically and mentally exhausted and sore in the back. But the bizarre and enjoyable experience is really different and makes people feel that this trip is worth it! As the saying goes: good things take a lot of time, who makes you have to go to this popular scenic spot to join the fun!

My son picked us up after work and went to the park to accompany us to visit the scenic spots and experience projects in the park again. As we walked, we explained its origin, functions and features, and then accompanied us to have a high-priced dinner. As night fell, the lights began to turn on, and the whole park was colorful and dreamy. We kept capturing the beautiful scenery and recording this unforgettable and moving moment with our mobile phone. We couldn't bear to leave the beautiful night scene of the park. My wife is very satisfied with spending her birthday in such a special way. Considering that our son had to go to work early the next morning, to send his grandchildren to kindergarten and primary school, and it would take an hour to drive home, we politely declined our son's kindness to watch the fireworks set off and insisted on returning immediately. When we walked out of the park gate, it was more than 10:00 in the evening, and the Disneyland behind was still prosperous and Huacai was still there.
