Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong - We took the MTR from Wan Chai station all the way to Sunny Bay station, and then hop on the Disney train to the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. Throughout the trip it was pleasant but never expected to have such a huge crowd on a monday morning. We started our Disneyland tour at around 11.30am and left at 9.30pm.

I was told by many Kong Hong friends that Monday is a good day to visit HK Disneyland as it is not a HK school holiday and many parents are back at work. They were correct to an extend as many of the visitors were foreigners and Mainland Chinese.

We had to queue at popular stations about 30-45 minutes. This HK Disneyland is smaller to the ones I have been to at Tokyo and California - but to my kids there is no difference - this is a paradise of fun and play. We paid HK$ 295 (S$59) for adults and HK$ 210 (S$42) for children.

There are 3 fantasy lands ( Tomorrowland, Fantasyland and Adventureland) and it would be best to plan your route around the Resort.

Tomorrowland - My kids love the roller coster rides (Space Mountain) at Tommorrowland and went twice - once for me is fine. There are no 360 degree turns so my 6 year old can also take the ride - it is very safe. We did the Buzz lightyear Astro Blasters 3 times - it was really fun. We manage to completed all the 6 stations.

Fantasyland - There are 11 stations here and did not mange to complete only 1 - The Golden Mickeys because of the crowded showtimes. The most fun stations were Fantasyland Train station, Mickey's Philharmagic and The Mad Hatters Tea cup.

Adventureland - There are only 4 stations and all are really fantastic and fun.

At around 7.30pm, we have to quickly make our way back to the evening finale - Disney in Stars Fireworks which will start at around 8pm. There were so many people already seated at choice locations - there are only standing spaces left. It was worth the standing as the fireworks display was spectacular.

Once the show is over, hundreds of people were making their way back to the entrance to take the MTR. It was so crowded - unbelievable.

I was totally exhausted having spent more than 12 hours out....but it was a child's fantasy even for myself.
