Disneyland Hongkong

Disneyland Hongkong

We took the subway line (MTR) using the octopus card
The last train from sunny bay was the special "Disney" train.
The MTR of HK is fast, safe, reliable, clean and very convenient.

I arrived at the Hong Kong Disneyland thursday morning.
Being weekdays the Park wasn't at all crowded
ticket prices were a bit high for HK$ 350 per person
I remember sweating a little bit at times.
Disney HK is small Its much smaller than disneyland paris disneyworld
orlando and disneyland los angeles.

The fifth Disneyland style park, the park is
located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island
All i can sya is that it is still pretty much a work in progress


It was a magical dream that came true with the following
