Original

The first time I went to the Shanghai Disneyland, it hadn’t open to the public, it is a test operation. Shanghai Disneyland wanted to know the largest number of visitors that they can handle per day, so they sold a lot of low price tickets to those people who can’t waiting for having a visit. Before I went to there, I had a itinerary for my one day trip in the land. I listed 3 rides which I want to ride. I didn’t have a high expectation for this trip because I knew that there were a large number of people in it and I must take a long time for waiting before I rode the rides. But life is full of unpredictable things. When I passed by one of their popular ride, it was repaired and nobody was waiting behind it. So I decided to wait and just few minutes later, the ride was open and I rode it without a long time wait. That was so great. Shanghai Disneyland is very extensive, not only their land but also their foods. However, I didn’t like the food I tried when I went to there at first time, it was a little hard.
In general, Shanghai Disneyland is amazing. It brings happiness to people and I like it.

But life is full of unpredictable things. When I passed by one of their popular rides, it was repaired and nobody was waiting behind in front of/in line for it.
