'''"Once Upon a Time" Adventure''' is an interactive walkthrough attraction inside [[Enchanted Storybook Castle]] in [[Fantasyland]] at [[Shanghai Disneyland]], the Disney park at [[Shanghai Disney Resort]] in Pudong, Shanghai, China. Guests climb through the castle and step into the story of ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'', told through animated scenes and hands-on moments rather than a ride vehicle. It opened with the park on June 16, 2016, and remains in operation as of November 2026.<ref name="fandom">{{cite web |title=Once Upon a Time Adventure |website=Disney Wiki |url=https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_Adventure |access-date=2026-11-15}}</ref><ref name="list">{{cite web |title=List of Shanghai Disneyland Park attractions |website=Wikipedia |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Shanghai_Disneyland_Park_attractions |access-date=2026-11-15}}</ref>

== History ==

The attraction was first revealed at the 2015 D23 Expo, as part of the castle that would become the largest Disney had built — a castle dedicated not to one princess but to all of them. A Snow White walkthrough was a pointed choice for Shanghai: ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' had premiered in Shanghai on February 8, 1938, and was among the first Disney works introduced to Chinese audiences, a connection Disney has repeatedly cited for this attraction.<ref name="fandom" />

D23, the official Disney fan club, describes the result as an innovative take on Disneyland's ''Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough'' — the same basic idea of climbing inside a castle to walk through a fairy tale, rebuilt around a different film and with far more interactivity.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Many Stories of Shanghai Disneyland's Enchanted Storybook Castle |website=D23 |url=https://d23.com/the-many-stories-of-shanghai-disneylands-enchanted-storybook-castle/ |access-date=2026-11-15}}</ref> The walkthrough opened with Shanghai Disneyland on June 16, 2016, alongside the castle's other interior experiences, which include the Royal Banquet Hall restaurant, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and the boarding area story of [[Voyage to the Crystal Grotto]] beneath it.<ref>{{cite web |title=Enchanted Storybook Castle, Shanghai Disneyland: Full Guide |website=Shanghai Park Guide |url=https://shanghaiparkguide.com/en/attractions/enchanted-storybook-castle/ |access-date=2026-11-15}}</ref>

== Experience ==

Guests climb a magnificent winding staircase at the centre of the castle — passing motifs for the Disney princesses on the way, among them Ariel, Belle and Mulan — and pass through a Magic Mirror portal into Snow White's world.<ref name="fandom" /><ref>{{cite web |title=The Many Stories of Shanghai Disneyland's Enchanted Storybook Castle |website=D23 |url=https://d23.com/the-many-stories-of-shanghai-disneylands-enchanted-storybook-castle/ |access-date=2026-11-15}}</ref> Inside, the story unfolds as a sequence of animated, CGI scenes that guests help to move along: a storybook invites them into the tale and a forest grows around them, they can talk with woodland creatures, help tidy the dwarfs' cottage before the dwarfs return from work, and confront the Evil Queen before Snow White's story resolves happily and she is united with the Prince.<ref name="fandom" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Enchanted Storybook Castle, Shanghai Disneyland: Full Guide |website=Shanghai Park Guide |url=https://shanghaiparkguide.com/en/attractions/enchanted-storybook-castle/ |access-date=2026-11-15}}</ref>

The narration is by Pan Hong, a renowned Shanghai actress. She recorded two versions, one in Mandarin and one in Shanghainese; the Shanghainese version was used only for a limited period during Spring Festival.<ref name="fandom" /> A contemporary parks account likewise stresses how different the experience feels from its California model: room by room, guests are given tasks to complete rather than simply dioramas to look at.<ref>{{cite web |title=LIVE THE CLASSICS IN THE PARKS - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs |website=WDW News Today |url=https://wdwnt.com/2018/07/live-the-classics-in-the-parks-snow-white-and-the-seven-dwarfs/ |access-date=2026-11-15}}</ref>

Practically, the route has no height restriction and no Disney Premier Access option, and waits are usually short — around ten minutes on average in recent tracking, far below the park's headline rides. The route is marked wheelchair-accessible, and children under seven must be accompanied by a guest aged sixteen or older. No official duration is published; the walk is self-paced, and it also serves as the best way to see the castle's interior, including its rotunda, mosaics and great hall.<ref>{{cite web |title=Enchanted Storybook Castle, Shanghai Disneyland: Full Guide |website=Shanghai Park Guide |url=https://shanghaiparkguide.com/en/attractions/enchanted-storybook-castle/ |access-date=2026-11-15}}</ref>
