A Free Christmas Disney Town in Shanghai?

Always Away begins by taking a short train ride to Shanghai’s Disneyland, specifically Disney Town, where entry is free. They learn about a Christmas tree trail map offering stamps from 18 locations, with a limited edition Shanghai Disney button as the prize. The stamp hunt leads them to a variety of trees, including a Zootopia tree, and staff help with an inkless stamp system. Amid the festive atmosphere, they explore shops and consider Disney Town’s restaurants, noting the Donald Duck themed diner isn’t great. They check out hats and souvenirs, and even try a Winnie the Pooh hat as a warm keepsake. A quick fireworks glimpse from the free viewing area leaves them hopeful to return for a full Disneyland visit. The day ends with plans to revisit Disney Town and the main park soon, and a recap of the free experience versus paying park prices. Always Away signs off excited for tomorrow’s Vlogmas installment.
