Rainy Monday at Shanghai Disneyland, surely it will be less crowded than a sunny Sunday, right? Wrong. Drat. The crowds were bigger today for some reason. Fortunately Mike and I hit all of our priority rides yesterday so we felt little pressure to wait in any of the longer lines and we’re content to fastpass our way through the day.
We managed repeats of Pirates, Roaring Rapids, Buzz and Tron while dodging umbrellas and puddles. 
See if you can spot Mikey. Hint: he’s the Chinese guy.To take a break from the rain and watch Eye of The Storm, Capt. Jack Sparrow’s Stunt Spectacular. It was pretty goofy except for the huge fan that propelled the stunt men up into the Eye of the Storm.
Looks like fun!
I wanted to pick up a photo of our first ride on Pirates and the cashier was super friendly. She gave us each a Donald Duck sticker.
Fortunately, I’d thrown in one of our Disney California Adventure pins I’d brought as gifts in my backpack that morning and was able to give it to her. She was so excited she went running out of the store to show her fellow worker. She was so grateful. It was such a sweet reaction. Best part of the whole day!
Time for lunch and a nap. Yummy Shanghai Dumplings and chicken chestnuts and rice. The chicken and rice were good but you can keep the chestnuts.

After our nap we headed back to the park for a quick go on Buzz Lightyear and a final ride on Tron. We also walked the Alice in Wonderland maze.
