While In Hongkong - Disneyland

Our first destination in Hongkong is the Disneyland. The place where Mickey and Minnie Mouse and other characters of Disney stays. We consider to choose this place in our first day visit, because we just can not let this Disney things left behind and ended up not to visit it. Curiosity and also my son's request to see his "friends" was the of course considered as the main reason. 

How to get there?

Direction to go to Disneyland is everywhere. Very easy to find. Last time we choose the MTR. As I mentioned before, you can go anywhere you want from the Central station, that is why, I choose to give direction always from central. From Central Station, change to the Thung Ching Line MTR, and stopped at the Sunny Bay station. Sunny Bay station is the special stop for everyone who wants to go to the Disneyland. From this point we have to wait for the express train to bring us to the Disneyland. The ambiance here already feels like we are at the Disneyland. The express train windows are designed with the Mickey Mouse head, and the interior of this train also designed with Disney's character. The fare for this express train is HKD 21 (if I am not mistaken) and we can use our Octopus card to pay for this train. There are also other ways to get here, you can check it here.

Ticketing and Fare 

Given tips from my friend, we bought the ticket online. The price in buying online or direct is the same price. Last week price is still HKD 399 for adult and HKD 285 for child. But, just now I checked the website, the price already changed. 

Buying ticket online will avoid you from a long line and the probability that the Disneyland stop selling the ticket at that day, since the park is already full. Tips for you who paid the ticket online, please bring along the card that use to paid for the entrance ticket. The automagic counter will need you to insert the card, to printed out the ticket. Yes the name is automagic, and here is the counter.

Eventhough we're saved from the que in buying the tickets, but we still have to que to come inside the Disneyland. The gate person, needs to checked our bag one by one to ensure that we are not bringing any kind of food to the park, and also things that may caused danger. They even checked our small passport bag.

Passing through this gate, now you can enjoy the Disney world, do not forget to take the maps and the show schedule at the information board. 

What is inside the Disneyland?

At the time we was there, there are several attractions and shows that is under maintenance, but they still put it at the schedule. Fortunately we've checked the website before we go, so we do not waste our time to wait for the shows that will not happen anyway.

There is the Golden Mickey Show, considered as the Main show in this park. Unfortunately the show is on Mandarin speaking, so it hard for us to get the full concentration to watch that live show meanwhile we still have to looked at the subtitle on the right screen in front of us. My son who also can not read complaint about it, he barely can not understand the show.

Other than that show, there are also The Mickey's Philhar Magic Show. We are given the 3D glasses to watch this show. The show is look alike with the Shrek's show in USS, the different is on the seats. The seats in USS moved along the show, this Mickey's show is not.

The other big show is the parade. It is a big parade. All of the Disney characters were there. For one with kid, surely do not missed this parade. They will be really happy to see the character waving and giving an eye to eye contact with them. 

 

One last show that we've missed is the Firework show. Bear in mind, if you bring kid to travel along with you, just follow your gut, when to stop to take a rest and when to keep on going. That time, my son was so tired, until he can not open his eyes. So before the fireworks start, we decided to go back to the hotel. 

Tips for Moslem

Disneyland only sell Halal food at the Adventure Land Area. In this area, there are two food court, one is halal and the other one is not. Please check first before entering the restaurant. The halal food restaurant sure have the halal logo in front of it. Food here is a little bit pricey, but it is worth it to buy. Details about the food is here.

I did not see any praying place inside the Disneyland, so just bring along the Sajadah and you can asked for a space to pray. Last time my husband did it at the Lion King show area (which is closed at that time). Eventhough the person who we did asked about the place can not understand what we're asking about, still she gave us a space to pray.

So this is it for the Disneyland Tour..
Enjoy!!
