Disney by Day, Tennis by Afternoon: Shanghai's Limited Summer Combo Ticket

A new combined ticket links Shanghai Disney Resort with the Rolex Masters tennis at nearby Qizhong. For international visitors, it is a neat two-in-one piece of summer planning.

By Shanghai Welcome · August 12, 2026

Two headline names, one ticket

For a limited window this August, Shanghai is offering a combined ticket that links two very different headline experiences: a day at Shanghai Disney Resort and a session at the Rolex Shanghai Masters, played at the Qizhong tennis center in the city's southwest.

The pairing is smarter than it first looks. Disney is the marquee family draw; the Masters is a world-tier tennis event that international sports fans already travel for. Sold together, they turn a single trip into a city-and-sport itinerary without double-planning.

For visitors arriving from elsewhere in Asia or further afield, the combo is a rare chance to stack two bucket-list items into one stay.

Start with the park: castles, rides and the kind of full-day spectacle that anchors a Shanghai trip. The combo ticket builds the tennis on top.

How to sequence the two

Disney is a full-day commitment, so give it the day and let the Masters be the flexible add-on — an evening session works well if the schedule allows, letting you ride in the morning and watch in the cooler hours.

Qizhong is a metro ride from the resort, not a walk, so build in transfer time and avoid back-to-back tight slots. The combo is about convenience, not rushing.

If you want the modern Shanghai story between the two — how a former farmland southwest became a global event city — the Modern & Future day tour covers Lujiazui and the new districts with a guide.

Practical notes

Combined tickets are limited and tied to specific event sessions, so book early and confirm which Masters match your ticket covers before you commit.

August afternoons are hot; the tennis center is indoor-seating-cooled for show courts, but the walk from transit can be exposed. Plan water and shade.

Keep your passport handy for both venues — ID checks are standard at major ticketed events in the city.

Why it works for visitors

Most tourists pick Disney or the city's heritage and stop there. The combo rewards the traveler who wants a little sport with their spectacle — and who plans once instead of twice.

It is also a tidy answer to 'what do we do after the park' — a world-class match, a short ride away, under one ticket.

•One booking, two bucket-list experiences

Frequently asked questions

What does the combined ticket include?

It bundles a Shanghai Disney Resort day with a Rolex Shanghai Masters session. Check exactly which match your tier covers before booking.

How far apart are the two venues?

They are in different parts of the city and connected by metro, not walking distance. Allow transfer time between them.

Is it good for families?

Disney is family-central. The tennis adds a daytime or evening option for older children and adults; just mind the heat and the schedule.

Should I book early?

Yes. Combined and event tickets are limited and the Masters sessions sell on demand. Book as soon as your dates are firm.
