November 10, 2026 — Shanghai Disney Resort has published the first full look at its third hotel, the Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel. The 400-room property opens December 16, 2026, and some room types can already be booked.
What is happening
The opening date and room count first came out on November 3. On November 10 the Disney Parks Blog added the details: the room types, the restaurants, the pools and the kids’ areas. The hotel is a nine-story building on the shore of Wishing Star Lake, right beside the existing Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, and the two are linked by a connector. Disney calls it a premium, family-friendly retreat. It is not adults-only.

What it means for airline travelers
- Getting there: Shanghai is served by two main airports, Pudong (PVG) and Hongqiao (SHA). The resort has its own Metro Line 11 station (Disney Resort) and a stop on the Airport Link Line (Shanghai International Resort station). Buses and shuttles also run to the resort.
- A third on-site choice: Enchanted Star is the resort’s third Disney-themed hotel. It adds 400 rooms right next door to the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel.
- Book early for the holidays: the hotel opens just before Christmas and New Year. Only some room types are on sale so far, so if you want specific dates, book soon.
- New-hotel caveat: the first weeks after any opening can bring teething problems. If your plans are flexible, a stay a few weeks after December 16 may be smoother.
- Rates: the sources do not mention travel-industry or airline-employee rates. Check Shanghai Disney Resort’s official booking channels for current offers.
