Surely everyone who likes Disney dreams of taking a stroll around Disneyland. But for Chinese people it is not that easy, because there is no Disney resort in mainland China. The closest ones are in Japan and Hong Kong, but Chinese netizens need a permit to go to either of these places. For Japan you need a visa, and for Hong Kong you need a Hong Kong and Macau entry permit. It’s very troublesome.<\/p>\n

Soon, however, the Chinese will not need a permit to go to Disneyland, because the Shanghai Disney Resort is about to open! This is the first Disney park on the mainland, and it will open in June 2016. Altogether the Shanghai Disney Resort will have 6 big theme lands, one of them being the popular \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d theme. The ticket price for an ordinary day will be 370 yuan, and 499 yuan for peak days.<\/p>\n

Would you like to visit Shanghai Disneyland? If you do, it would of course be helpful to know some relevant Chinese phrases. In this post we learn some useful sentences that you can use when you visit Disneyland.<\/p>\n

First of all, how do you say Shanghai Disneyland in Chinese? It\u2019s \u4e0ash\u00e0ng<\/rt>\u6d77h\u01cei<\/rt>\u8fead\u00ed<\/rt>\u58ebsh\u00ec<\/rt>\u5c3cn\u00ed<\/rt>\u4e50l\u00e8<\/rt>\u56edyu\u00e1n<\/rt><\/ruby>. Now let’s express that we want to visit Disneyland.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201c\u6211\u60f3\u53bb + Place \u201d means \u201cI want to go to\u2026\u201d. After you’ve bought your \u95e8m\u00e9n<\/rt>\u7968pi\u00e0o<\/rt><\/ruby> (ticket), and received a \u5730d\u00ec<\/rt>\u56fet\u00fa<\/rt><\/ruby> (map), you are ready to explore Disneyland. Even with a map it can be difficult to find your way around, so let’s see how we can ask the staff for directions.<\/p>\n

You can use the phrase we just learned, \u201c\u6211\u60f3\u53bb + Place \u201d, and then add \u201c \u8bf7q\u01d0ng<\/rt>\u95eew\u00e8n<\/rt>\u600ez\u011bn<\/rt>\u4e48me<\/rt>\u8d70z\u01d2u<\/rt><\/ruby>\u201d. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n
