We went to Disneyland Hong Kong and it was quite possibly the best day ever. Entrance fee was 565HKD ($89, £51) which is so cheap for a full day at Disney! We are huge kids when it comes to it.
We arrived at 10am as soon as it opened (yes, I made T get up early so we could be the first ones there!). It worked out massively in our favour because for the first hour the park was so quiet! We were able to do many things and go on a number of rides before it started to get busy. It was a weekday mind, so that was helpful.
Neither of us had ever been to a Disneyland before so for us it was a magical day. T at first wasn’t that bothered about going, but once we arrived he was completely in his element too. It really doesn’t matter how old you are, Disneyland brings out the inner child in you, and it is simply amazing.
I know for a fact that Disneyland Hong Kong is A LOT smaller than the one in Florida but it is still incredible. All the main Disney Characters are there and there are plenty of things to do and see.
We weren’t sure if we could take food and water with us, so we just carried a few small bottles of water in our bags. When you go through security they do not take anything off you, so it would be a sensible idea to take a picnic (we wish we would have!). If you are on a budget this is a great way to save a few pennies. There is a lot of available grass areas where you could set this up.
TIP! Eating at Disneyland is a massive rip off and they try charge around 30HKD ($5, £3) for a SMALL bottle of water. Take your own bottle, and re-fill it at the ONE water fountain we found – located outside the toilets in the Sci-Fi area.
Getting to Disneyland
Getting to Disneyland from Hong Kong island is VERY easy. We took 2 trains in total, one of which is a Disney train. The windows are designed in the shape of Mickey Mouse!
All you need to do is take a train to Sunny Bay, get off there and hop on the Disney train. It really is that simple.
I would definitely recommend going to Disneyland if you are interested in this kind of thing. Let’s be honest, as much as you would like to deny it, you’d probably really enjoy yourself too!
