What's cool about going to Disneyland in Hong Kong was riding its very own train. I wasn't able to take a picture of the train itself, but it's a Mickey train, you wouldn't be able to miss it!
Inside, the windows have decals of Mickey Mouse and small statues of famous Disney characters. (Pardon the selfies and focus on the statues hahaha)
The train stopped right at Disneyland. It was raining when we got there but a little rain wouldn't spoil the fun! Upon alighting from the train, you go up the escalators and there you go, you will be greeted with the welcome arch. Head's up, from this point, it's still a long walk to the main gate!
Nope, this is not yet the entrance! But you can take pictures in this beautiful fountain.
Since I already booked my entrance via www.klook.com I already have a voucher which I scanned at their automatic ticket dispenser right before the main gate.
It would be best to download the Disney app in your IOS or Android phone, very helpful! With the app, you'll get to see which attraction or rides has a short waiting or line!
Tip, the photo op with Mickey & Minnie has the longest line so better head over there first and take your souvenir photo. It's located at the Gazebo quite near the main entrance.
Excalibur is right in front of this Carousel. I just wished they had given it a more elaborate marker though.
Aside from Mickey and Minnie, you can meet and greet other Disney characters at various locations at different schedules. Since there's a lot to cover, I opted to meet Beauty and the Beast at the City Hall Annex. You can check your app for where your favorite Disney princess so you can take a pic!
The train has two stations and will only take you to one station to the next and you cannot stay for a round trip unless you exit and enter again at the station. The fist station is at Main Street and will take you to Fantasyland Station.
Tomorrowland where you can see Jedis in training :)
The Starliner Diner I believed has the most affordable complete meal. Most meals around the park cost HKD100 and up but at Stardiners, you get a complete meal including drinks for less than HKD100.
Btw, bringing of food and selfie stick are prohibited. You can bring a water bottle as there are lots of water stations around the park.
The Lion King Show at Advertureland is the best show among all the show there is.
Tip, check the different show's schedule so you can work around the attractions and rides. If we only knew the Lion King was the best, we should have saved it for last as the others paled in comparison. The short clip below is just an example.
The other shows are the Jedi Training (boring hahaha), Mickey and the Wondrous Book and Philarmagic. In order of good to best, start with the Philharmagic, then the Wondrous Book and last the Lion King. You can skip the Jedi Training unless you are a Star Wars fan.
Okay, this is the Geyser Gulch and just a few steps from it is the Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars, the only extreme ride I took. I wasn't able to take a photo of the ride because just thinking about it made my heart drop again!
Mystic Mansion has a few good surprise. The tour inside the house was quite visually fantastic.
Toy Storyland. Nuff said hahaha
There's also the Fairy Tale forest. It's like a maze with all the Disney Princesses stories.
Oh here's the Philharmagic. The star of this show is Donald Duck. The picture is quite blurry because, guess what, it's in 3D!
Main Street Train Station:
This is the Wondrous Book show. Quite a number of Disney songs are sung here:
The It's a Small World is like a around the world tour and it's an homage for the different cultures around the world.
No Disney adventure is complete without watching the fireworks!
Adnmittedly, one whole day is not enough to see all the attractions and rides. We weren't able to explore Tarzan's jungle or take the river cruise, watch any of the parades and we took very few rides so if you have money to spare, a two-day tour would cover everything hahahha!
Overall, my Disney adventure is worth it. Will I be coming back? Yes definitely!
Hirayamanawari,
