Disneyland HK

There comes a time in every 27/28 year olds life when they just have to spend the day at Disneyland. Lucky for us there is one in Hong Kong.


We arrived in style on a train with Mickey Mouse windows, which was very exciting and really got us in the mood for visiting the magical wonderland.

As soon as we were through the gates we saw our first celebrities; Mickey and Minnie Mouse. We could hardly contain ourselves but we carried on to our first ride which was the Jungle River cruise (which we went on twice). That was pretty awesome and we got a bit wet from the special effects.

Unfortunately Hong Kong weather is unpredictable and the heavens opened twice and everywhere got a soaking. Luckily we found shelter in the 3D cinema cartoon show, the carosel and the Winnie the Pooh ride.

We watched the superb Lion King Show, which was 30mins and a short recap with songs of the Lion King story. It was excellent. The Golden Mickeys (or Mikeys if your cantonese) was a little strange, because the whole performance was in cantonese with english subtitles on a television screen and all the songs the performers sang were in english.

We had a great day all in all, we went on all the rides at least twice and got soaked in Mickeys mid day parade. We stayed right until the end to watch the fireworks at Sleeping Beauty's castle - these were spectacular and set to music from Beauty and the Beast, Aladin and Mulan. We videoed the whole thing.
