Transit and tempo
City stay: budget the long metro (often 2+11 or through segments) and arrive before open. Leave luggage at hotel or lockers — no suitcases in park. Queue priorities first; rest indoors or shade at noon; if you stay for fireworks, accept the exit crush and last-train buffer.
Town and bans
After exit: one meal or souvenirs in Disney Town; short Wishing Star Park walk is fine. Chuansha is another half-day — it does not replace the park and does not jam into opening morning. No Bund lights or Yuyuan after close — that is an axis change, not an add-on.
