January, February, July, August and October — Chinese New Year, the summer holiday and the October Golden Week, when crowds are among the heaviest of any park worldwide.
March, November and December — March, November and early December weekdays.
Local knowledge: Pirates: Battle for the Sunken Treasure is widely considered the best version of the ride anywhere; do not let the line put you off, but do ride it early.
Each day starts from how that weekday normally runs at Shanghai Disneyland, learned from our own recorded wait snapshots as they accumulate, and is raised for public holidays and school-holiday periods. It is a forecast of relative busyness, not a promise: a 3 means a day that usually runs quiet for this park, not a guarantee of short lines. The further out a date sits, the more it leans on the weekday pattern alone.
