Level 2 “the lobbyyyyyy”! I’m gonna miss that!🥺 loved your Shanghai series thank you thank you and thank you for sharing this amazing experience with all of us❤️

[@jessier2015]

We found the exact same with the cultural differences when we went to Hong Kong Disney. We had really grown to love the park by the end of our two days, although it is very small, but the interactions with other guests did dampen our experience somewhat.

Chucking it down. Raining? Cute.

[@zoestephens1318]

Only just discovered your vlogs but I'm so glad I did! Enjoy California. I've been lucky to go twice, California Adventure is definitely my favourite Disney park x

[@stephaniedickson4947]

Have loved watching these with my son. He is not desperate to go to Disney now lol. Gonna be lost until we can watch your California and Hawaii vlogs. Cannot wait to watch them.

[@disneyfun2938]

So much fun watching you guys in a new park! Excited to watch your next adventure!

[@saffroncadedemaine333]

Loved this series. You look like you had an awesome time! ❤️ you’ve helped me through a hard time your videos have cheered me up tonnes.

[@irishinusa1615]

Loving Revisiting them all, longing to get back to the New Norm. Miss traveling with you both ❤

[@CheersEars]

We have loved this series..such fun and so well put together. This has prompted a serious family discussion now !! Brilliant guys xx

[@laurielargent9045]

I liked seeing your perspective compared to people who only went when they first opened. As far as Disneyland, Storybook Land at night time is pure magic. They close for fireworks, but do reopen. It is my home park so I hope you have a wonderful time.

[@avgeekdannisadventures7023]

I’m loving re watching all of your old Vlogs!! I also want to say that I have a Stoma due to an Inflammatory Bowel Disease, mine is like Crohn’s and I know how we have to be so so careful with what we eat. Even with my Stoma it hasn’t cured my condition. Hope you’re both doing okay. Looking forward to seeing future trip Vlogs! ❤️

[@AndreaSHG]

I just came back to London from Disneyland Paris (it was the most amazing trip ever - we got upgraded to the Cinderella Suite) and now I already have my eye on Shanghai Disney!!!! The Toy Story Hotel ------ it is so ADORABLE!!!!

[@erikagholston6610]

Thanks for all the useful tips.

[@carolinepeters323]

Loved this series! We did a trip to China two years ago and stayed at the Toy Story Hotel. Quite a few good things seem to have been added since then as the fast passes were crazy when we were there, with no app! Glad you had such a fun time!

[@abbielp23]

I just burst out laughing at weeing in the bin 😂 excellent honest review! Would not have expected the queuing/spitting/urinating, can’t believe how different it it with Tokyo! Tokyo we found people so respectful and everyone was wearing matching outfits 😂

[@joanna2627]

Hi guys, just came across your Shanghai vlogs yesterday. Got to say, I think you pair are great, the love & excitement you have for Disney is so apparent & joyful to see. Definitely going to check your older vlogs out & look forward to new ones. Subscriber 22,100 😂 - Mickey is our favourite too :)

[@caroleflynn761]

I have no idea how I ended up here, but had to tell you both how delightful you are. I live 10 minutes from WDW and will follow you on your adventures. Thank you.

[@gzlzdesign]

I'm actually going to Disney Shanghai in a few weeks and I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel! I'm obsessed!

[@MrsArmenian26]

The summary review is really helpful!! Thank you for taking us on this in depth journey it was great!! Now onto the next adventure Cannot wait to see what you guys think of Disneyland and DCA I am hoping you get the same feeling I got when I first walk onto the original Main Street i do not how else to express it but I literally felt Walt’s grand presence I had goosebumps especially when I laid eyes on the lit lamp in his apartment It is a feeling that I have never felt honestly, such an amazing feeling

[@kerricksasaki]

I love the inclusion of your review/tips & advice! Thank you!

[@GelliesJourneys]

There was a hidden Mickey on the moon under the Pizza Planet rocket! Great series, I really enjoyed it, looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@pchy99]

Oh my..this trip went by so fast, but I can tell you both had a really good time. I can’t wait to ride Tron at WDW. It’s gonna be so awesome!! You too will already be seasoned pros by the time it opens at WDW. Thanks again a 1000x for sharing your adventures!!!

[@markusstapf9855]

Great vlog series, really enjoyed watching! Takes me back to our trip in 2016, we also stayed at the TSH. I’m not a big fan of thrill rides but Tron absolutely blew our minds!!! So cool that it’s coming to WDW. Keep sharing your adventures with us, lots of love Markus

[@debbierooker4930]

Thank you Luke & Rich, this Shanghai Disney series has been truly amazing 😚 Loved it so much. And so interesting to hear your thoughts on the experience. Food wise I think I'd struggle in the park too. I'm really not very adventurous with food & would have probably eaten in Cheesecake Factory all the time too! Sorry to hear that the merch wasn't as good as you hoped for. But glad that you still had lots of treats & looking forward to the haul. x

[@suexx3905]

Thank you Luke & Rich, such a great vlog! What a fabulous park 🥰 As much as I’d love to see it and ride those amazing rides it’s not a place I’d be able to enjoy as my tolerance levels are no where near as good as yours 😂, people coughing on me and touching me would not go down well. Thankfully tron is coming to Florida ( my ♥️ place), that ride looks incredible! xx

[@amymeetsnes2993]

Grape Hi-Chew my fave!

[@steveb1086]

Seemed like u had a fun time. They dont seem to have as much there as WDW very 'samey' . The weather must have spoilt it a bit though. I loved that lift and the aliens oooooo level 2 lobby

[@alexasanz73]

I really enjoyed watching this series of vlogs. Thanks for sharing!

[@10saroja]

Loved all the Shanghai vlogs, looks like you had an amazing time! I hope I can visit one day xx

[@Chieftracyhorse]

Thank you for sharing your trip! ❤️Your ‘honest’ review was great!

[@jonny5777]

What a great series guys! Took me ages to watch but it was worth it. I agree some Chinese people can be...invasive but I just act like them and push back.

[@denisederbyshire1957]

Thanks so much for sharing these awesome Vlogs xxx cannot wait for the next instalment, his time, California & Hawaii 💕

[@rockpeacelove365]

Loved the review! So helpful you saying about allergies to! Enjoy your next one I’m excited to see the vlogs

[@kazrob8946]

Brilliant vlog series. Absolutely loved it. I feel like I've been on this trip with you. Thankyou for all the smiles you have given us. X

[@maddycorrasa]

Great hotel you both stayed in

[@sociadade2864]

Hi Luke and Rich, I am new here but loved the series. Only have a question do you pre book your taxi or not?

[@stormcamper2101]

That was very diplomatically put about the cultural differences and I’m glad you do mention them. I have Aspergers and have been to Beijing before and found the lack of queuing etiquette and invasion of personal space to be completely intolerable. I love Disney and would love to see the park but absolutely cannot face being in that environment again and find the cultural differences to be completely at odds with what I hold Disney to embody. It may be Disney in name but the spirit looks lacking as Disney is more, to me, than just the rides. I once remember getting to the front of a queue there and having hands coming over my shoulder with people ordering from behind me and the tellers doing absolutely nothing to acknowledge me or take my order despite being right in front of them. I’ve also experienced all you mention in relation to people doing the toilet in places we’d never dream and also the spitting. Sorry but it’s disgusting and I’m glad you do mention these things as to some this could really ruin their holiday...especially others like me who are on the spectrum and where queue jumping and the invasion of personal space can quickly become a flash point. Thanks for the honest review and it was good to see you both there. I’m insanely jealous of the Tron ride and can’t wait until it comes to Florida. I’m luckily getting to take my wife and kids there for their first time this year. Cannot wait to see their faces! :) Thanks for all your videos. They’ve been a big help as well as thoroughly entertaining.

[@shazzied5922]

I saw the hidden Mickey!! 🤗

[@GollyNTed]

Thanks for sharing all the fun and info. I am now desperate to visit 😀

[@02jacjes]

loved all the videos thank you . I love how you tell the good and the bad . I have watched other people reviews and they only tell the good and I think if I went some where and had the some of the things happen to me that happened to you I would be wondering why no one said it, you guys always give a great review good or bad. thank you . have a great time on your next trip I will be waiting for your next vlogs

[@hanahbananas2300]

Such a great series of vlogs. I haven’t really thought of going to Shanghai Disney but after watching your vlogs, I think I’d like to go! 😀 thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@ParcNews]

Hello, thanks for sharing with us your nice trip at Shanghai Disneyland ! why you did'nt take videos about their nice show (Entrance, line, room of the Tarzan show, Frozen show and Pirates show) ?

[@darrenepton1247]

Loved your Shanghai vlogs thanks for sharing them. ❤️👍

[@kathleenmary1000]

So interesting to see the contrasts between Shanghai and Tokyo. I don't remember you having as many cultural challenges in Japan if I'm correct? Glad you were able to navigate 😏 Looking forward to Disneyland trip!

[@carolwhittlesea7683]

So both had a great time. Nice place in Chinese town,

[@fishlawyer1]

Thanks for all of these. I’m about to go to Shanghai soon and these are so helpful!!!!

[@PocketJournal]

Absolutely loved your series guys! Can't wait to experience Shanghai Disney myself in a few months time! So excited to see what you get up to on your Californian and Hawaiian adventures! Safe travels :)

[@rebeccawright2718]

Loved all these vlogs , well done to you both ! 👍😀

[@carolinemunro1557]

Bye bye Shanghai its been wonderful 🙂 Hello Califonia & Hawaii cant wait for the blogs x Caroline Aberdeen Scotland x

[@samsterrooney5950]

I’ve really enjoyed watching these daily. Going to miss the daily vlogs 🦄💖

[@Andy65SHO]

Who gave this a thumbs down and why??? Lovely series again guys👍

[@donald1949]

Hello from the west coast of the USA near Long Beach and Disneyland-former Cast member here-retired to a lovely little village called Seal Beach-I think you're both adorable and wish you were down the block so I could pop round for tea and a Bikkie-love your vids-have subscrived so will be following your adventures-Cheers

[@SENSATIONALBISCUIT]

Lovely review ao honest... my family and I went to Hong Kong Disneyland and loved it but only thing to us which was a shame was the pushing through and adults running past children to get on rides first : ( Def want need to visit Shanghai and Tokyo tho x

[@joannakomoroczy5016]

Never give up vlogging....I love your adventures! 😍

[@Pirate-Scorcher-1998]

I really enjoyed watching this series since episode 1 ^^ I’m glad u 2 had a great time there

[@bonjouritsizzy3405]

its probably not as bad, but people in California, in the original disney park I am an AP holder and people do not understand personal space and do try and cut if you don't watch out for it. I cant stand it and I say something when I go to the parks because no not fair. that sucks that you experienced that, I am glad you did have fun :) I cant wait to go myself with my family, especially Pirates!

[@janecook8546]

Loved this vlog series! Thank you so much for sharing. PS you would have had to drag me away from the pandas, lol. X

[@D90-BELL]

Disneyland all👍👍

[@MISSLEONAJB]

🙌🏽 I have binge watched your Shanghai vlogs since last night and today and I’ve loved every minute. Thank you do much for taking us along with you and for sharing your honest opinion with us. One of the things I hate is spitting so I am surprised and disgusted at the thought of that 😱 I am going to watch your haul now which I’m excited to watch and then onto your California vlogs - love you both 🤗💕 xxx

[@lisbyers]

Thanks so much for this vlog series. So sad it is over! But can't wait till the next ones. Any plans for Hong Kong next to close the loop? :)

[@Amelia081208]

Thank you so much for sharing your Shanghai experience have been binge watching all your previous vlogs, they are amazing! Will you be going to Hong Kong Disneyland? Went there over one year ago and loved it. Hoping to get to Shanghai by the end of the year xox

[@Liezjeuh]

Nooooo it's over already? :( But living for your Instastories right now :) Shanghai I think is still somewhat last on my wishlist, the only thing that really attracts me there is Tron... I've heard a lot of those disgusting stories already so... not too keen on that haha :p And oh my goodness, I NEED my personal space so....If I have to safe for a Disney trip besides DLP and WDW, Shanghai will not come first I'm afraid. But Tokyo intrigued me. But first things first: Try to make it to DLR and WDW :)

[@nickybellis5960]

Hmmm spitting would be a deal breaker for me...absolutely disgusting... and invasion of personal space a no no..thanks for your honesty.. have an amazing trip to Hawaii...cannot wait to see those vlogs ❤️

[@mcali187]

Okay this trip has convinced me I need to do Shanghai, maybe I can do that next year 😂 Also it is one of my closest parks with only a 10 hour flight.

[@vanessabergamin1260]

Went to Hong King Disney where a lot of main land Chinese go and wow were they rude. Saw one use her kid as a battering ram to push her way to the front of the line! You can tell who is from Ho g King and who isn’t as most speak Cantonese in Hong Kong where main land China speaks mandarin. Often wondered if the Shanghai Disney would have more of that kind of behaviour so thanks for being honest!

[@Sarahsparkles83]

I’ve loved these vlogs! Have you ever been to New York?

[@reyjusuf]

Ill be there in June ^^

[@joanshehh7650]

I ❤ SH

[@braninburdette]

Yeah, we won't be going to Shanghai simply due to the cultural differences. The first time someone coughed on the back of my neck, arm or in front of me and my family would be, "lets catch the next flight home." Especially now with COVID19 .

[@tcraigg4563]

The spitting and coughing on you, invasion of personal space, pushing in front of people, and peeing in the trash cans are a deal breaker for me. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

[@007Natty007]

Western toilets = westies....Asian toilets (found throughout China and SE Asia) = squatties.
