Hongkong Macau Travel Blog- Trip to Hongkong Disneyland
It was a bright morning & we were all set to go to Hongkong Disneyland :) It was my first ever trip to any Disneyland and I was super excited. We had purchased the tickets the previous day at a small shop next to Avenue of Stars. We paid HKD 450 for each ticket & we got a cute umbrella as a compliment. The Hongkong Disneyland ticket counters will surely be flooded with people & we did not want to waste time in the queue.
Hongkong Disneyland - How to get there?
The fastest and probably the best way to get here is via the MTR. Hongkong MTR network is probably one of the best I have been in with very good connectivity. There is a train approx every 2 minutes and is very comfortable. We took the train from Jordan MTR to Lai King station, then changed to Tung Chung Line to the Sunny Bay station. Once you reach the Sunny Bay MTR station your Hongkong Disney experience starts.

Hongkong Disneyland- The Train:
From the Sunny Bay MTR station there is a special Disneyland Resort train that would take you to the Disneyland station just outside the park. The train was so colorful with Mickey Mouse windows & interiors and I could see excitement in everyone's expressions We were off to Hongkong Disneyland!!!
Hongkong Disneyland- The Park:
Well Hongkong Disneyland is obviously a smaller version of the Disneyland in the US and Europe but do not be fooled by its smaller size as there is enough to keep you entertained for the day. The park is divided into 7 sections with each section having 1 or 2 rides, great photo opportunities and stores selling Disney Merchandise.

Hongkong Disneyland- The rides not to miss:
· Space Mountain: This was my first experience in the space mountain and it was one of the fastest roller coasters that I have ever been in. The best part is obviously the sharp turns as you zoom past planets and stars. Surely a ride not to miss.
· Grizzly Gulch: If you like speed and the wild wild west this is the place to be. One among the newer attractions in Hongkong Disneyland this roller coaster takes you on a journey through mines and mountains. Do look out for the bears.

· RC Racer: Imagine an U-shaped track and toy race car roaring away up a down and you get the RC racer ride. Though the ride is short ( 30-40 seconds ) you have loads of fun.
· Mystic Manor: This attraction is unique only to Hongkong Disneyland as per the agreement that HK will have one ride that no other Disneyland in the world has. Yes you guessed right , you will have a huge queue, but you do have some interesting artifacts in the Mystic Manor to keep you busy. The ride itself is very family friendly a visual spectacle and is really enjoyable.

· It’s a small world: We round off the top 5 with a ride that takes you slowly around the world depicting each region beautifully. A really colorful ride both for the young and old.

Hongkong Disneyland- The shows not to miss :
· The Lion King Show : Easily the best show in HK Disneyland which depicts the entire Lion King film as a musical. It is really magical when you see the artists performing for Hakunana Matata. Surely a show not to miss and I especially enjoyed the performance of the artist who played Scar.
