In recent days, friends who went to Shanghai Disneyland were a little surprised. Originally, unopened food could be brought into the park, but why can’t it be brought into the park now? Could it be that I remembered it wrong?

It’s not that everyone’s memory is confused. Previously, Shanghai Disney did allow unopened food to enter the park. However, since November 15, 2017, the "Shanghai Disneyland Visitor Instructions" has been adjusted as follows. :

1. The following items are not allowed to be brought into the park: food; alcoholic beverages; non-alcoholic drinks exceeding 600 ml;

2. In the park, no selling, exchanging items or Services, or the display of any items or services for the purpose of sale or exchange, including but not limited to guided tours of any kind.

Visitors who bring food can enjoy their own food and drinks outside the park, or they can dine in Disneytown or Wishing Star Park, and they can return to the park after finishing their meal.

The park stated that the regulations regarding outside food and beverages are consistent with most theme parks in mainland China and Disney's other destinations in Asia.

According to reports, Shanghai Disney Resort currently provides a wealth of dining options to meet the different tastes and budgets of tourists. The resort's catering team continues to innovate and adjust menus based on constantly listening to tourists' opinions. For example, in conjunction with local tourists' dining habit of enjoying delicious food with the whole family, they have launched large-portion "family packages" at major restaurants in the park. ”, covering the restaurant’s must-try selections and enough for the whole family to enjoy.

The park has introduced more convenient snack options in the past few months, including selling additional snacks in queuing areas at popular attractions, on both sides of the float parade road, and at outdoor dining trucks throughout the resort. Fresh fruits and vegetables and snacks.

In addition, the new regulations also add that no one is allowed to sell or exchange goods or services in the park, or display any goods or services for the purpose of sale or exchange, including but not limited to any form of guided tour service. . At the same time, the park will continue to evaluate various guidelines and make adjustments from time to time to meet operational needs.

If you say that the food prices in Disney scenic spots are exaggeratedly high, but if you look at which attraction prices are on par with the market price, even the prices at the airport are higher than the market price. Everything happens for a reason. For such a large park, the maintenance and infrastructure construction of various equipment, as well as the expenses for maintenance personnel are all operating costs. Disneyland is not a welfare institution, but a company that wants to make money. A theme park is an ecosystem and an industrial chain. Visitors will generate various demands after entering the park. Disney is naturally unwilling to give up the benefits generated by these demands, and catering is the top priority. You won’t go to Disney often throughout the year. If you rarely travel, the most important thing is to have fun. It’s not a bad idea to spend money on the experience to enjoy a Disney special meal.

First of all, the staff does need to open bags for inspection when entering the park, but they do not prohibit food from being brought in. Unopened biscuits, snacks and bottled water can be brought in, but please note that bottles The water capacity cannot exceed 600 ml, and water in your own cup cannot be brought in. There are free drinking water faucets in the park, so if you are confident, you can drink it. By the way, the selfie sticks that many people use when traveling are not allowed into the park, so you'd better leave them at home to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In addition, during the visit, I took a look at the prices of various foods in the park. For example, this kind of popsicles and ice cream are just ice cream from a certain brand in my country. They cost about two or three dollars outside the park. It only costs 1 yuan. In the park, the price has increased almost 10 times just because it uses the image of Disney cartoon characters. This is quite surprising to me.

Having said that, prices are originally adjusted by market supply and demand. If you think it is expensive or not worth it, it is reasonable as long as someone is willing to pay. This is like many men who don’t understand why women Just like buying such an expensive bag, don’t we just spend money to buy the brand value? After all, the charm of the Disney brand is huge around the world.

If the prices of Disneyland are really too high, the Price Bureau will naturally take care of them, and we don’t need to worry. All we can do is decide for yourself whether to buy it or not.

Regarding Disney’s adjustment measures, many people believe that the adjustment of visitor instructions will have little impact on their own visit to the park. Instead, it mainly targets mobile vendors and is also beneficial to Disney’s environmental impact. Maintenance!

Citizen A

It is rare to go to Disneyland, and you must eat food with Disney characteristics there. The changes to the tourist instructions are mainly aimed at scalpers and vendors, and will not have much impact on tourists visiting the park.

Tourist B

When you spend money, you always hope to enjoy better services and environment. Disney's instructions are not much different from those of other parks, so there is no need to make a fuss. And the stricter the instructions, the better the impact on maintaining the park environment.

Tourist C

Actually, I think it would be good if you are not allowed to bring food. Because I believe it introduced this because it will have an impact on the environment in the park. Because children may eat things and leave them all over the ground. I think this policy can also improve the overall environment of the park.

Shanghai Citizen D

Now, packaged food is not allowed to be brought into Disneyland. I think this is good, because it can prevent these scalpers from taking advantage of it. In fact, It is also a reverse service to our citizens.

As everyone said, Shanghai Disney is not an exception to the rule that no outside food and drinks are allowed. In fact, this is the same rule as most theme parks in mainland China and Disney’s other destinations in Asia. are consistent.

Many netizens said that bringing food into the park is actually a helpless move because the food in Disneyland is not cost-effective.

Netizen "Baicaijun" said: "But to be honest, I can afford tickets to Disneyland, but I can't afford Disney food?"

Netizen "Nancheng Kawako" "Love to learn" said: "Even if you can afford it, the price-performance ratio is extremely low. If you eat a Mickey Mouse pizza, it's still 98, and you can't finish it after one bite."

However, there are many netizens who support it. Disney prohibits guests from bringing food into the park.

Netizen "Zhuang Xiaoxiaoliu" believes that it is normal for the food in scenic spots to be expensive. "The food in Disney all over the world is not cheap, right? Everyone said it was too expensive and they couldn't afford it, but they didn't let me." You go there every day.”

Netizen “Sama Lagu” thinks from an environmental perspective. She believes that take-out food can easily generate unnecessary garbage. "Take-out food can easily generate garbage everywhere, especially after the fireworks show. Some people have money, but their quality is not up to par. They can't put the food in their own bags, so they have to throw it all over the place."
