Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it's pretty obvious that issues between our countries tensions have an impact on business not just Disney's but on other companies as well.

I really hate that park with a passion it's my least favorite Disney park in the world.

The one thing that would make me go back is that one ride Peter Pan's flight.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the transit visa for Shanghai if you're coming from an Asian country on the list and departing to another Asian country.

✓Print out all your bookings, park tickets, and dining reservations for customs in China.

✓If you're vegan, be aware that options may be limited in Hong Kong and Shanghai Disney parks.

Getting a visa for China — Use the transit visa if eligible; otherwise, check for consulate locations and be prepared for a potentially cumbersome process.
