Hong Kong Disneyland

Tweet

Check! All Disney's in the world have been visited! Starting with the first Disney in Anaheim, to Florida, to Tokyo, to Paris and now Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Disneyland is the youngest park (2005) and the smallest in both the sense of park size and the fact that it is only one park. But despite this, it is still fun. It is more geared toward small children (no Indian Jones, no Pirates of the Caribbean or Matterhorn Bobsleds, for example) with a very good Fantasyland, and Toy Story Land. There is also an area called Grizzly Gulch with a roller coaster ride similar to Big Thunder Mountain Railway, and an area called Mystic Point with an attraction called Mystic Manor that is related to the story of the Tower of Terror ride at Tokyo DisneySea (this story is totally different than the one at the other Tower of Terror's around the world).

Getting to HK Disneyland is very easy by the MTR (metro), alight at the Sunny Bay station, and hop onto the Disneyland Resort train. If you are on Hong Kong Island it will take approximately 35-45 minutes to get there and $26 HKD per person (from the Western District area - Sheung Wang Station).

the Disney Metro Line

There several locations where you can pre-purchase your park tickets rather than waiting in line at the park (check your with your hotel's front desk, Circle K outlets, Hong Kong MTR Station, etc) http://park.hongkongdisneyland.com/hkdl/en_US/ticketsAndReservations/overview?name=OneDayTicketPage The current price for 1 adult is $450 HKD ($64 CAD) for a 1-day ticket.

We spent half a day at the park walking around, going on a couple of rides and waiting in line to meet some of the characters :) The lines were not too long, but we were there off-season (November) and on a weekday (Friday).

Here is our day at the Happiest Place on Earth:

 Toy Story Land!

Loved the Scrabble tiles!

 Sleeping Beauty's Castle

 Lunch time! I had to get the chicken once

I saw the rice :) So simple but I love it!
