*Let's be friends this Duffy Month! *

From September 1 to 30, 2025, there's a plethora of heartwarming and adorable fun waiting for guests with the arrival of Duffy Month. This year's celebrations are fabulously floral as Duffy and Friends prepare gifts with flowers to celebrate their friendship with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Throughout the month, guests will have plenty of opportunities to discover the flower-filled stories of Duffy and his friends, from the Duffy floral to the interactive social wall, as well as miniature sets around Mickey Avenue to capture imaginative photos with Duffy and Friends plushes.

This love of flowers also blooms into Duffy and Friends' dazzling new outfits. Duffy has chosen a camellia theme, while ShellieMay wears a hat adorned with a Chinese rose. Gelatoni wears a top with cymbidium ensifolium-inspired embroideries, while 'Olu Mel has hibiscus embroideries on his outfit. StellaLou's headwear is made of multiple hosta blooms, and CookieAnn has picked lotus for her accessories. LinaBell's stand-collar jacket and headpiece are also delicately adorned with osmanthus blooms. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will join the celebration as well, wearing their new outfits adorned with hibiscus.

Duffy month also heralds the return of the daily show, *"Enjoying the Moon with Duffy and Friends,"* throughout September. The story unfolds with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse joining Duffy and Friends to "enjoy the moon" and celebrate friendship together. Starting September 7 and continuing every Sunday throughout the month, the resort will proudly reprise the much-anticipated special edition of the show during selected performances of the day. In collaboration with *Shanghai Huju Opera Theatre*, the special edition incorporates Shanghai Opera into the show taking place in front of the Enchanted Storybook Castle, allowing guests of all ages to immerse themselves in the renowned cultural charm of Shanghai. This year will see two young performers take turns in performing Duffy Month's theme song "Let's Get Together," using Shanghai dialect mixed with unique Shanghai Opera rhythms. The performance will also feature classic Shanghai Opera melodies, including "The Melody of Purple Bamboo" and "Four Seasons," enchanting guests with an infusion of classical elegance.

Towards the end of the month, the entire resort will come together to celebrate *LinaBell's fourth anniversary*, and this year, the celebration is extended to a whole week from September 23 to 29!

Guests can also uncover Duffy Month enchantment in a mouthwatering selection of treats that taste like autumn itself:

*Shanghai Disneyland's ticketing structure refinement provides even more price options to guests starting this autumn*

Beginning this Mid-October, 2025, Shanghai Disney Resort will refine the pricing structure for admission to Shanghai Disneyland, adding additional tiers to its current six-tiered pricing structure. As the resort continues to develop innovative offerings and optimize ticketing to reflect local consumer visitation habits, the new multiple-tier pricing structure will provide more price options to guests by narrowing the gap between current tiers, while further supporting the resort to effectively spread visitation throughout the year based on attendance forecast and maximize guest experience.

Pricing for both entry and top tiers will be unchanged, remaining at RMB 475 and RMB 799 respectively. Exact ticket tiers will be decided based on the theme park's attendance forecast, with the rolling 30-day pricing calendar continuing to be provided to help guests plan their park visit in advance.

A discount of approximately 25% will continue to be provided to children (aged 3 to 11 years old, both inclusive), seniors (60 years old and above) and guests with disabilities (certificate/proof of disability is required). Infants (under the age of 3 years old) will continue to receive free admission.

The resort is also offering more ticket offers to help guests make the most of their autumn visits. Guests can purchase a *Shanghai Tourism Festival Exclusive – Afternoon Ticket*, which is valid for entry to Shanghai Disneyland after 15:00 on a pre-selected date from September 13 through September 19, 2025, to enjoy all autumn has to offer.
