Walking Shanghai 4 Shanghai Disney Land 2

Cities, Shanghai

We’re In !!!!

Now we go through the traditional first stagesof getting into the park itself….

Just inside ticket takers….
Mickey in Flowers …
as we might expect…
Bubble machines on sale…. very big here and in Hong Kong Disneyland….
very sturdy…  blinking lights …  clouds of very nice small bubbles….
seen many places around the park….  
Bubbles Rule….
A large rather heavy looking entrance….
Doesn’t seem to be anything to see here.. just walk through…
First view of the castle…
And instead of ‘Main Street’ there is a small park in the center and store fronts on either side…
behind all these ‘stores’ is one long store inside with almost every kind of Micky Merchandise you can imagine.. 
same on the other side….
The other side of the street begins with the bank of my childhood hero… Uncle Scrooge…. I still have a box of his comics…  the super rich duck who wont spend money if he can help it…
Of course you cannot go inside and look at his money…..
In the park… you can have your photo taken with Mickey and Minnie..  preparing for spring.. and .. Easter??
It may happen when you are near this little park….
… that Mickey and Minnie and a whole troupe of characters will come out…
and perform a show just on the inside edge of the little park…
with an automatic crowd of visitors watching…
The Watchers….
And…
if you turn around….
This is only one side.. it looks different from the side..
Castles are ‘big’ in western civilization…
there were no castles of this kind in ancient China… of course…
You are now a designer….
with pencil or pen and paper
see what kind of castle you would design…
that’s the carasel to the right…

You can show your castle design to everyone when we meet here next time…..don’t miss it if you can…
