Rain or Shine: You’re Good to Go

Shanghai’s climate shifts throughout the year, with temperatures ranging from hot and humid in the summer months to chilly winter weather that may require warmer clothing.

Spring

Mild temperatures and a flurry of cherry blossoms make this one of the most beautiful times of year in China’s largest city.

Fall

Inclement Weather Arrangements During Your Trip

Shanghai Disneyland has been purpose-built with the best possible Guest experience in mind. Though Shanghai’s climate shifts throughout the year, the theme park’s many attractions, entertainment, restaurants and shops will continue to remain open—rain or shine, hot or cold.

On select occasions, the theme park may be forced to close or operate under a limited range of offerings and park hours due to extreme cases of inclement weather. For more information on storm warnings and potential cases for park closure, please check back in the near future!
