Travel Tales: Hong Kong - Hong Kong Disneyland Resort
1:05 PM
We visited Hong Kong last June, and as Disney babies, there was no way that my family and I weren't going to Disneyland.
Disneyland Resort Line
We arrived in Hong Kong at night, and headed to Disneyland first thing in the morning. Luckily, our accommodations were in the Lan Kwai Fong area so we were within walking distance of the MTR Central and MTR Hong Kong stations. We got off at Sunny Bay station and transferred to the Disneyland Resort Line. The trains to Disneyland are, as you would expect, Disney-themed. |

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort Entrance

While waiting for the Resort to open, we took some pictures next to this gorgeous fountain.
Before the guests were allowed inside, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse greeted the guests from inside the park.

Attractions and Entertainment

My husband, my son and I are all Star Wars fans so we were thrilled when we found out that the Star Wars attractions would be open already during the travel dates we had planned. When the Park opened, we made a beeline for Tomorrowland. My son was asleep at this point, so I persuaded my husband to go ahead and ride Hyperspace Mountain, where he took the picture below.

We spent an hour or so in Tomorrowland: looking inside the souvenir store, STAR WARS: Command Post (where my husband and son had their picture taken with Chewbacca), and visiting the snack stands.
In between exploring the different locations, we made sure to make some time to see some of the shows. First stop was Festival of the Lion King. Best show we saw that day, which is saying something since all the shows were excellent. These aren't cut-rate productions. You can certainly see where the money you paid for your ticket went.

Another show we saw, right after the parade, was Mickey and the Wondrous Book. My son liked this one a lot, because Mickey and Olaf were part of the show. I liked it a lot too, but I was disappointed that Mulan didn't have a singing part.
  
We were also able to ride the "it's a small world" ride. I thought this ride would be boring, so initially I didn't want to go, but I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
