Disneyland, a place usually associated with kids, is also a place for adults who grew up with Disney cartoons. It’s hard to resist the Disney magic that you feel as soon as you step unto the resort grounds.
Tohru excited to explore Disneyland
Located in Lantau island, the Disneyland Resort is a sprawling estate that covers the theme park, the Disneyland Hotel
and Disneyland Hollywood Hotel. The resort can be reached by the specially designed MTR train on the Disneyland Resort line that connects to the main MTR line through Sunny Bay on the Tung Chung Line. Public buses also serve the resort’s Public Transport Interchange, as well as taxis. Taxi from the Hong Kong International Airport costs approximately HK$120.
Disneyland Park station
Walking from the transport interchange, you’re welcomed by instrumental themes from Disney movies. Just before you go through the ticket booths (day tickets cost HK$350 for adults, HK$250 for kids aged 3-11 years and HK$170 for seniors. Tickets can be bought online.), there’s a musical fountain with Mickey surfing on the waters coming out of a whale (is that Monstro?). The full force of the Disney magic hits you when you go through the park’s entrance. Disneyland is exactly how you’d imagine it to be: grand, whimsical and full of small details that’s distinctly Disney.
One of the many ways to go around the park
Though many of the rides are for kids, there’s a number of attractions that adults can enjoy. Give your competitive streak a treat as you blast through Zurg’s underlings at the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Tickle your senses as you ride in pitch darkness through Space Mountain (be sure to open your mouth wide and scream your hearts out throughout the whole ride). Sit back and enjoy reminiscing through Disney Favorites at the Golden Mickey Show and the Lion King Show.
The Lion King
There’s a lot of people flocking to Disneyland anytime of the year. If you have limited time in the park, invest on a Fastpass, that lets you in on an express lane on Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. If you have serious moolah to spend (about HK$3,200), consider a Supreme tour, wherein you get direct entrance for all attractions.
Buzz Lightyear giving instructions
You’re not allowed to bring food and drink into the park, but don’t worry as there are plenty of food options for all tastes and budget. You can enjoy Cantonese noodles, country fried chicken or a full vegetarian Indian meal in the restaurants around the park.
Main Street at night
Shopaholics who still haven’t gotten their fill from Hong Kong’s crazy shopping scene can still indulge at the many souvenir shops scattered around the park. It’s not uncommon for guests to be wearing shirts, hats and accessories bought from the shops, so don’t be shy and walk around wearing that Minnie Mouse headband you just bought.
Cinderella’s song
The park is open daily from 10 am to 7pm from Sunday to Wednesday, and up to 8pm from Tursday to Saturday. The park’s closing is marked by the grand fireworks by Sleeping Beauty’s castle. Everybody gathers around for this, so if you want prime seats to enjoy the show, be sure to come at least 30 minutes to claim a spot. The park’s pyromusical extravaganza puts other fireworks display to shame. It’s a fitting end to a magical experience.
This is the third post of a four-part Hong Kong series. Read part 1 and part two to for our adventures in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. For more pictures, head on over to my flickr.

Looks like a whole day of fun!
It was! I’m wanting to go back and experience the magic again
Hi Nina, nice blog!
My 6-year old daughter and I are scheduled to go to HK on the 24th and plan to stay at the Bridal Tea House on Yau Ma Tei. How do we go to Disneyland from our hotel?
Thank you very much.
Hi Bing,
You have three options:
1) Bus
There is no direct bus to Disneyland from Yau Ma Tei. You need to take the Airport bus A21 to the Lantau Toll Link Plaza, then ride the R8 bus to Disneyland Resort. Total cost is HK$40 per adult. Details can be found here: http://bit.ly/gEDdlL
2) MTR
Again, there is no direct route. From the Yau Ma Tei MRT, you need to change over to the Tung Chung line at the Lai King interchange, then change again to the Disneyland Resort Line at Sunny Bay. Fare is HK$18.50 for adults. Details can be found here: http://bit.ly/goLnA
Just type in Yau Ma Tei as origin, and Disneyland Resort as destination.
3) Taxi
This is the fastest and most convenient, but it’s also the most expensive route to Hong Kong Disneyland. Approximate fare is around HK$175. Details can be found here: http://bit.ly/f6RB4l
Thank you so much! This is very helpful. Gotta print this out
Hope one day you could visit my province up north – BATANES.
Ang saya! Babalikan ko yan for the Lion King and wala yung parade when we were there
Panalo yung Lion King! Sumakto yung balik ko sa Park for the 12noon show!
remains to be the happiest place on earth! ?
YES! Kailangan mabalikan! Nabitin ako!!
Fantastic trip!
Hey I was trying to add nuffnang to my site but I just couldn’t seem to make it appear
help?
Hi Kassy! Minsan talaga it doesn’t appear, if there’s no campaign for your site. Just add the code into your blog template and it’d show up
Not sure if ads are allowed on WordPress.com blogs though :-/
Great trip Nina! When we visited Disneyland, andaming tao talaga! and it was a weekday. anybody who would see the parade of Disney stars would bring out the inner child in them. heck, i even started waving at the characters/mascots just because of the feeling of being in a magical place.
Ayun ang na-miss namin, yung parade! Gusto kong bumalik ng Disney! Specially late this year.. mag open daw yung Toy Story land!
ang tagal lumaki ni luna! dalin ko sya dyan someday, hihi
Super fun siya for kids! I’m sure matutuwa si Luna sa Disneyland
Have you tried all the fun rides? Which one do you recommend as the must “do” at Disney Land HK?
Space Mountain, definitely!
I wanna go there too
It’s a real shame, I’ve never been to HK 
Go na, lapit lang ng HK!
Lahat yata ng nakapanood ng Lion King, nagustuhan yung show
I love the show too
Ang daming pinoy performers sa HK Disneyland no? Napapangiti ako, bigla na lang may sisigaw na kabayan either tourists or performers
Kasi ang galing naman talaga ng Pinoy!

hi.. my husband and i was planning to hong kong with our son until when ung celebration nila sa 5th year? everyday b may parade of characters? thank u.
Hi!Our family are planning to go to hongkong this May.I would like to ask a suggestion from you if what is the cheapest way in availing an airfare?Is the parade in disneyland everyday?We would bring along w/us our two children,Is it very expensive in going to hongkong?This is our first in hongkong would it be better in an agency?
Tina, the best way to get cheap airfare is to watch out for airline promos. You can also check out packages offered by airlines, which already include airfare and accommodation in HK. I’m not sure if there is a parade everyday (there wasn’t a parade when we went there). Hong Kong can get very expensive; certainly more expensive than the Philippines. If you don’t have time to research about where to stay and what to do, I think it’d be best for you to get a package from a travel agent.

Hi,
Its my first time to go to Hk with my daughter this 22 of July. I want to know how long my time spend going to Disney if i came from Fanling. What would u advice. for the disney ticket. its better to buy through online or in HK ticketing booth. Ticket bought one day pass what are the ride priveledges include for adult and a kids. Pls. ellaborate. 12 days from now were excited. many Thanks if you answer my inquiry as soon as possible.
It’s best to set aside one day for Hong Kong Disneyland, specially if you’ll be there on a weekend. I think it’s more convenient to buy online because it saves you having to line up to buy tickets when you get to the park.

What are the places that we must see in HK? By the way, we will stay there for 3nyts and 4 days. Hope you can help us. Thanks in advance…
Hi, you can try the Golden Crown. It’s near the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and Airport Bus stop. When we stayed there last January, our room cost HK$350 per night.
Hi,

Your Utmost Response is Highly Enjoined.

my husband and i are going to HK on January 22…i do not know the details yet…my agent has not given me our itinerary. my concern is that my husband has walking difficulty from his stroke five years ago and he walks rather very slow. i know that one place we are slated to visit is HK Disneyland. from the NAIA to HK airport and to some of our destinations, could a wheelchair be available to us for his comfort and ease of travel? can this be arranged in advance? thank you so much. am so anxious about this. blessings.
There are wheelchairs at the airport. Just make sure that you notify your airline that you require special assistance beforehand. As far as I know, there is no additional fee for this. Wheelchairs are available for rent at Hong Kong Disneyland. I hope this helps
hi again. i know you stayed at golden crown, but are there any other cheap hotels you might suggest. in terms of security, cleanliness, and location. thanks.
That’s the only cheap hotel I know in Kowloon.
hi again. how do i book with golden crown? thanks
