The long awaited trip has come, today we are going to Hong Kong Disneyland. We will be staying at Disney Hollywood Hotel for 2 days. The kids are really excited as we got up bright and early and packed our stuff while we say goodbye to the apartment that we have been staying in for the last 3 days. Then we took a shuttle service to Hong Kong Central MTR where we then take the MTR to Sunny Bay station, the journey took about 33 minutes. Then we change to the Disney Resort Line where we are picked by the Disney Train. Baby FAN fell asleep on the trip there but for SMALL FAN he was really really excited when he saw the Disney Train.
Journey To Disney Land
We reached Disneyland stationed and then took the Disney Shuttle Service to our Hotel, it's a short ride there and the kids are kept entertained with the Cartoons on mobileTV. Once at the hotel, the hotel attendent asked us to pass him our luggages and give us a tag. Big FAN then proceed to the hotel information counter where he purchase the entrance pass for Disneyland as well as rented a stroller for Baby FAN (cost us HK$60 for 2 day). Big FAN bought the annual pass for SMALL FAN as we calculated that it was cheaper this way as the annual pass allow SMALL FAN to bring in an adult free and it only cost HK$560, while the day pass for adult was HK$350 and child above 3 was HK$250. As we are staying in the hotel, they have an additional promotion which allow us to go to Disneyland for 2 consecutive days while the day pass. Meanwhile the kids quickly got addicted to the lounge area where there is a TV with all the Disney Cartoons. After the necessary paperwork, we then took the Disney Shuttle Service and went to Disney Land for the entire half day.
At night, after the fireworks display, we went back to the hotel to check-in, everything was a brisk and we where back in the room in no time. We took the room with a Parkview so we actually get to see the fireworks display at night on day 2 of the hotel stay as we decided to go back to the hotel earlier for dinner. The hotel was a simple and nice hotel with a nice touch of disney, they even gave the kids each a part of disney slippers to bring home as souvenir, I think we were definitely come back to this hotel again.
Here's our itinerary at Disneyland:
Day 1 at Disney Land
Spend the entire half-day at Fantasy Land
- Cinderella Carousel (merry-go-round) - the traditional MGR that we used to love
- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (ride) - a relatively excited ride for kids
- The Golden Mickeys (musical- 12.45, 1.45, 4pm, 5pm, 6.15pm) - Baby FAN doesn't seems to understand the show but SMALL FAN seems to enjoy it, they got really excited when Mickey, Goofy and Donald etc came walking down the aisle
- It's a small world (water boat ride) - a nice ride and we get to see characters of different countries
- Fantasyland Train Station (train around disneyland) - skip this ride it's a real disappointment, waited 45min for it but doesn't get to see anything much.
- Dumbo the Flying Elephant (flying Elephant) - SMALL FAN can't seem to get tire of this ride, he likes it that he gets to control the elephant going up and down
- Disney Philharmonic Magic (3D show) - SMALL FAN enjoyed the show but Baby FAN is too small to understand what is happening and the 3D glasses was too big for her
- Mad Hatter Tea Cups (tea cups ride) - The kids enjoy this ride, especially the trill seeker Baby FAN
- Sleeping Beauty Castle (take pictures with disney characters, 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30am, 3.30pm, 4.30pm, 5.30pm) - this castle was quite small compared to the one we saw at Tokyo Disneyland though
