Shanghai Disneyland Resort Photo Tour Part 3 – Mickey Avenue

img_8486After all this time, we finally make it into the park! (If you need to catch up with the Toy Story Hotel or Disneytown click on the respective links because now we are heading in for a lot of time in the park!)img_8549The entrance to Mickey Avenue and Shanghai Disneyland Park is met, just as most of the "Castle Parks," with a train station, but there is no Disneyland Railroad here — it just works as a beautiful entry point complete with attraction posters.img_7867

img_0348 img_0349 img_0350Mickey Avenue is the main entry point into Shanghai Disneyland Park, and just as Main Street USA is to Disneyland, it consists of dining and shopping options, but the size of this area is more similar to Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure. While I could described each inch of Mickey Avenue, it is just best to see it all.img_8550 With a full side street and lots of windows, you could spend a full day looking at the tributes and hidden details of Mickey Avenue.img_9103 img_9104 img_9105 img_9106 img_9107 img_9108img_9111

A prime example of the detail is this barber shop window. First we start with the wide shot, then, when we move in a bit closer, we start to see there is so many fun things to look at you could get lost in it for hours.img_9316

img_9124 img_9948One thing that a lot of guests missed was Mickey Avenue had shop numbers, so as we followed the numbers around to this small courtyard, we were very surprised by what address we found.img_8002 img_8003Now we have only scratched the surface of Mickey Avenue, so head to page two for more details and some amazing eats!The Avenue M Arcade is a large shop broken up into lots of mini areas in the place of the Emporium. But, just like the Emporium, it has everything you could think of for those last minute shopping needs.img_9112 It is also, just like everything else on Mickey Avenue, overflowing with things to catch your eye.img_9116 img_9117 img_9119 img_9120

img_9951If you are hungry, Mickey Avenue is the place to be, with enough locations you won't have to look very far for that quick Donald waffle at Il Paperino, some great pastries at Remy's Patisserie, or some counter service at Mickey and Pals Market Café.img_9927 img_9938 img_9928 img_9935

img_9101One of my favorite locations on Mickey Avenue had to be Chip & Dale's Treehouse Treats. This small open shop had so many tributes and hidden gems I think I took as many pictures there as I did in almost all of Mickey Avenue.img_9303-1 img_9304-1 img_9305 img_9306 img_9309 img_9310-1 img_9314I am pretty sure I could go on posting about Mickey Avenue for days, but this trip report is already months behind as it is! So I will just leave you with some of the beauty of this area at night:img_0335 img_8134 img_9290 img_8484

Oh, but I have to include the characters you can meet there also....and that is it.
