Hong Kong Disneyland

THE HOTEL
We went to Hong Kong in December 2009.
We went as a family with three children aged 9, 10 and 3 years old.
We stayed at Hollywood Hotel. A child friendly hotel with two queen sized beds for all five of us.
Since it was December, it was cold. I was warned by one of the passengers in the same flight with us that we actually need a winter clothing cause it can be quite cold.
But fortunately despite the cold, it is tolerable. I just used my blouse and my shawl only towards the evening. The kids went off with only the usual jacket.

On our first day, we just enjoyed the hotel. We actually went swimming in the pool and its outdoor despite the cold weather. They had a nice jacuzzi near the pool as well. They have a nice slides that goes right into the pool where my kids enjoyed.

The next day we went early. They have shuttle bus that pick us up from the hotel to Disneyland.
And the bus is free. This shuttle service will also pick you up from Disneyland after the closing fireworks at 8.30 p.m. We preferred this cause we had small kids along. And rushing for the train after a day in the park is not a good idea.

Disneyland The Rides
There are a lot of children rides. So my 3-year-old enjoyed it very much.
The Fantasy land: dumbo the flying elephant, cinderella carousel, the many adventures of winnie the pooh (quite a long queue), it's a small world boat ride
The adventureland: catch a raft ride to Tarzan tree house and explore as well as photo taking. Jungle river rides, with nice effects along the rides. Kids enjoyed it.

The show
The Fantasy land: Mickey phil harmagic: A 3D experience, sit at the centre and not in front. They have almost a semicircle screen that will have its effect if you sit at the centre. It is not a live show, so don't sit at the front row. The Golden Mickey is a live show. This one you need to catch the front seat. We love it.

Meet the characters
Photo sessions at the opening of the park. They also have the characters waiting at the Fantasy garden.

The fireworks
These fireworks show is at the closing of the park. We enjoyed it very much.

The food
There are small stalls along the street. We took corns, popcorns and sweet potatoes, ice creams, seafood. That was enough cause the weather is just nice and we don't feel that tired or hungry.
