Shanghai Disney Store -Largest Disney Store in the World
The largest Disney store in the world is found in Shanghai, China. Shanghai Disney Store is located in Lujiazui in Pudong area in Shanghai. It is also near the Oriental Pearl Tower. We went on a Wednesday morning and it was not crowded at all, it was also actually our final day in Shanghai. If you are planning a trip to China, there are also several wonderful Discover China tours available.
If you know me, you would know how much of a Disney fan I am. So far, I’ve already been to three Disney parks, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Shanghai. It is actually my goal to visit all the Disney parks. I am also currently planning a trip to Disney World in Orlando in 2021 for their 50th anniversary. I got inspired by Francesa from HomeRoom Travel who visited all of the Disney parks around the world.

Shanghai Disney Store
It was around 10 A.M and the store has just opened so there was not much crowd yet. My brother kept on asking me if there’s a second floor. I have actually misunderstood him. I thought he was telling me that there is a second floor. A lot of the staff keeps on saying something in Mandarin, most probably welcoming guests in. My brother understands Mandarin and I thought he was telling me that there’s a second floor based on what he has heard from the staff. When I finally understood that he was actually asking me, I told him that I didn’t know. It didn’t look like it has (tell me if I’m wrong). He then asked me how is this the largest Disney Store when the one in Tokyo has three floors.
It is the largest for me since it has an outdoor plaza where you can see a Mickey-shaped flower area. You can also see a Disney clock tower where you can find some of the fabulous five characters. Shanghai Disney store is also the largest Disney store in the world since it has the largest retail space of 9,257 square feet.
I love how you can have the Disney store, Oriental Pearl Tower and the Disney Clock Tower in one photo. I used the wide-angle on my Huawei P30 to include everything in one shot.

You can also meet some of the Fab 5 characters. Minnie mouse, Donald duck, Goofy and Pluto can be found on the Disney clock tower.

I hate spending money. But I am such a big fan of Disney that whenever I see Disney merchandise, I cannot help but buy. I already did a lot of damages to my wallet when I bought so much stuff at Shanghai Disneyland. Read until the end to know what I have bought in Shanghai Disney store.
I am normally not a big spender. Even if we are traveling, I am not as tempted to buy a lot of souvenirs compared to other family members. I told myself that I am not going to Shanghai Disney store to buy more stuff. But I ended up doing more damages to my wallet.
Frozen 2
Frozen 2 was everywhere. Even in Shanghai Disneyland, there were a lot of merchandise. It was confusing that they were already selling a lot of merchandise when the movie has not even come out yet. I saw in one of the posters that the movie was already out since mid-October in China. I guess that’s the reason why they were everywhere.

If you are a big Star wars fan, you’ll definitely love these, especially the droids. They were very expensive though but the droids are remote controlled that’s why they are a bit pricey. If I only did not bought so much stuff at Shanghai Disneyland, I might have considered buying R2D2. I love BB8 too but I love R2D2 more.
Tsum Tsums
If you are collecting tsum tsums, there are a lot in Shanghai Disney store. I started collecting tsum tsums when I visited Hong Kong Disneyland but when I visited Tokyo and Shanghai Disneyland, I did not feel like collecting anymore. It’s not because I don’t want to anymore but more like, I still don’t know where to display them. I don’t have a lot of space to display stuffs in my room so I won’t buy them for now. I really love them though, they are just so cute. It is actually the perfect souvenir for friends and family since they are also very lightweight and won’t take too much space and who does not want a tsum tsum?
I did not really like the Disney pen selections. I love the ones in Tokyo Disneyland more. These Disney pens are also perfect for souvenirs too. It is very practical since your friends or family can actually use them instead of just displaying them.
Mystery Box
I bought one mystery box where I don’t know what I will get. I would love to get any one of them though. Donald Duck is the one I want to get the most but I would be happy to get Minnie, Pluto or even uncle Scrooge. The one the I did not want to get the most is Donald’s nephew ( I forgot his name) and Pete (not sure if the name is correct) . Read till the end to know which one I got. Can you guess what I got from the mystery box? Do you think I got what I wanted the most or the one I did not want to get?
Peter pan is one of my favorite Disney films. I rarely see any Peter Pan merchandise but when I see one, I no longer have space on my luggage. I was also really worried that I would exceed the baggage allowance. This pen holder is so beautiful but it is also very heavy. Next time……. 🙁
For the ladies, if you are a Disney fan and love to wear accessories, these are perfect for you. I wanted to buy the Donald Duck and Ariel necklace but I don’t wear accessories much so I didn’t think it was practical for me to buy them.
Of course, key chain will always be included when we shop for some souvenirs. There are also frozen 2 key chains. Other characters are marvel, Dumbo, Marie, Toy story and many more.
Shanghai Disney Store Haul
Just like in my Shanghai Disneyland Haul, I bought another Frozen 2 merchandise. I love stationery, especially notebooks. This Frozen notebook is unique and it makes it more special since it has a lock. I love writing notes, ideas, thoughts, anything that comes to my mind. I don’t really like it when someone reads them though so this is perfect since it has a lock. My mom wanted to buy this Marie key chain since it reminded her of our pet that is also a white cat.
Yup, I’m really not a lucky person. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed but I love Donald Duck and this is his nephew (I still can’t remember his name) so it made me feel a bit better. He is still cute though.
I actually did not buy a lot of stuff at Shanghai Disney store since we already packed our bags. We left them at the luggage storage at Pudong airport before exploring the city so we don’t have much space left.
What do you think about the Shanghai Disney store? Did you like it? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. I actually had a higher expectation but it was not that bad. The Disney store in Tokyo is still my favorite even though it is much smaller in terms of space, I love their kawaii vibes.
As always, thank you so much for reading! I always appreciate every single one of you. 🙂

Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t been to any Disney store, so looking at your photos, it feels like I went there too. 🙂
Sherile Guinto
Wow! How I wish I can also go there. I love all the merchandise of Frozen 2.

Largest Disney store? Now, I’m on the fence. One – my daughter would be over the top to just be here, but, two – she might just want to buy everything here! Haha….
Meeting and taking selfies with the Fab 5 characters at the Clock Tower is definitely a must-do thing.
I might end up buying the whole Else costume for my gal. Haha…
That’s Louie of Heuy, Dewy and Louie…. May not be as famous of the Fab 5, but still its a cute outcome of the mystery box.
Danik
As a parent, I am so not taking my daughter here! I will never get her out of the shop and she probably want me to buy everything 😀 I am still kinda surprised that Shanghai has the biggest Disney store in the world and its not at one of the two American theme parks instead. Is Disney really a big thing in China now?
Fae Celine
I guess you could say that Disney is really a big thing in China. When we visited Shanghai Disneyland, it was on a weekday during off peak season but there were still a lot of locals. I didn’t buy the Early access pass that would let us enter the park an hour earlier because I didn’t thought we would need it. I wish I had bough them so we did not to wait in a long line just to enter the park.

Whoa! 9,257 square foot store… that IS a lot of retail space. It looks like you had a lovely time and I hope your wallet is recovering from all your purchases 🙂 Happy and safe travels!

I never knew that the largest Disney store in the world is in Shanghai, China. I missed this Shanghai Disney Store which is located in Lujiazui in Pudong area in Shanghai and near the Oriental Pearl Tower, though I my hotel was very near to this place. I would love to take pictures and meet some of the Fab 5 characters like Minnie mouse, Donald duck, Goofy and Pluto which can be found on the Disney clock tower.
Indrani
This post is perfect for Disney shopaholics 😀 I too succumb to these Disney stuffs and indulge at times. Those the Donald Duck and Ariel necklace seem perfect choice for my daughters. Meeting and taking selfies with the Fab 5 characters sounds so good.
Lily
Mind blown didn’t know this was the largest Disney store in the world. Must add this to my travel bucket list.
Karla Nina Mallannao
Already went to HKD pero oo nga, mas malaki yung store sa China. At mas maraming cute merchandise!!! ?
Debjani Lahiri
I never knew that Shanghai has the largest Disney store . All i was aware of was of that in USA or hongkong. Although i am not much into cartoon characters or fairy tale but Frozen had caught my attention . Its good to visit in wonderland sometimes while on your trip . I would have also ended up spending on some cute souvenir from there .
Emman Damian
I want to go to Shanghai Disney Store! It sounds so fun! I hope to visit it soon.
Ami Bhat
OMG….the disney merchandise never fails to bring out the kid in me. And this place would have me go crazy. From what you have shared, I am so keen on the Frozen merchandise. Even if I don’t buy much (am assuming it is a little pricey), I am sure to enjoy posing all around the place with my favorite characters. Cheers
Amrita
That was quite an intelligent questin asked by your brother on the size of the Disney store! Shanghai Disney store looks like a great place to be for Disney lovers. I can totally understand that you had overspent on your visit. I might have done the same thing. Those Disney merchandises are so much desired! And I would love to take photographs with the Fab 5 characters. It would make my day!
Myrah Duque
I will take ONE OF EACH PLEASE! This is my happy place. Perfect for us Disney shopaholics. The Ariel necklace would be my nieces favorite.
Clarice
Wow! I am such a Disney baby that is why I get thrilled everytime I see a post like this. I would love to visit. I am still waiting for other Frozen 2 merchandise to arrive in the Philippines. That snow globe is just beautiful. I collect Disney Animators so, I am happy to know that they carry them as well.
Anyway, can’t wait to check what you got from the Disneyland store.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE the Disney store in the mall here. I would be in heaven at this store! My whole family enjoys all things Disney, so I could get so many gifts here.
Angela Tolsma
I have never heard of Tsum Tsums but they look adorable. Peter Pan stuff truly is rare and hard to find. Too bad it won’t work this time. Hopefully next time.
Madi Rowan
Wow, looks like so much fun! There was a Disney store in my local mall growing up, & I absolutely loved it! This store would have been a dream haha!

I am a total Disney nerd, probably even more than my kids. I would enjoy visiting this store so much, it looks amazing.
Margaret | Live Like No On Else
How cool. I’ve only been to one Disney, and that was Euro Disney in Paris (not even sure that’s around anymore, this was when I was 18, back in 1994). But even as a young adult, I remember spending hours in the store. The stores are amazing. And this one would probably be even better. Thanks for sharing.
tweenselmom
Wow, largest Disney Store, I’m sure my husband who loves everything Star Wars will be thrilled!
Angela
Shanghai Disneyland looks so cool. I really want to visit. I love looking in their stores and this one is just amazing. So many cute Disney souvenirs.

This shop must be a heaven for children! When I was a child I went to a similar (not Disney) shop with my parents in Andorra and just loved it.
I’d like to visit Shanghai!
Sarah
Wouldn’t have thought there was a Disney store in ShangHai, let alone the largest store in the world. I would love to visit, my boyfriend would hate it but I enjoy bringing out my inner child 🙂
Georgina
I did not know that the largest Disney Store is in Shanghai. Absolutely marvellous! So nice that you are highlighting gems like these in China.
