Hong Kong Disneyland – Day 1
On our day 1 of our Hong Kong-Macau vacation, we headed to Hong Kong Disneyland despite the jetlag and lacking hours of sleep. We arrived in Hong Kong at 7:40 AM, went straight to our guesthouse in Tsim Sha Tsui via the Airport Bus and grabbed our breakfast at Yoshinoya.

Going to Disneyland is a breeze even for a newbie traveller in Hong Kong, just a sense of direction, a map, familiarity of MTR stations and the Octopus Card. From Tsim Sha Tsui station, ride the train going to Lai King station, hop on to the other line, Tung Chung line, get down at Sunny Bay station (the interchange station to the Disney Resort Line) wherein you can see the Disneyland train.
Disneyland Park Tickets can be bought at the main entrance or online. Ticket prices are as follows:

But if you’re looking for discounted and cheap Disneyland tickets, you can ask the staff of your guesthouse or hotel if they sell them. HK Taisan Guesthouse where we stayed sells discounted Disneyland tickets so we availed the tickets at HKD 285 only. If you can’t find cheap tickets at your hotel/guesthouse, you may purchase tickets at Traveleasy Ltd. located in Central. This is by far the one that sells the cheapest Disneyland tickets and also Ocean Park tickets.

The best time to go to Disneyland is during weekdays to avoid the crowd. If you have kids with you, it’s best to start early at around 11 AM until the fireworks at 8 PM. If your group consists of adults, you can go there after lunchtime since food and drinks inside the park can be quite expensive. The most important thing is to never leave Disneyland without seeing the Disney on Parade at 3:30 PM and Disney in the Stars fireworks display at 8:00 PM. To maximize your day in Disneyland, be familiar with the Disneyland attractions and time guides, you can grab the map and times guide brochures at the park entrance. Finish all the shows in the morning like Mickey’s Philharmagic, The Golden Mickeys and the Festival of the Lion King. In the afternoon, enjoy the rides and lastly, have your picture taken with your favorite Disney characters. Be warned though, Mickey and Minnie Mouse are a hit so be prepared to wait in line.
Hong Kong Disneyland is a place for kids and adults alike. Rekindle the inner kid in you and experience the magic. Enjoy the photos below…

Hi Diane, we stayed at Taisan Store 1, along Nathan Road and very near the MTR station. You should call Ate Yolly, the one who manages Store 1, she’s a Filipina. Ken doesn’t reply to my emails kasi eh. I’ll post Ate Yolly’s number here. Hanapin ko lang yung calling card.

hi sis, kelan kayo nag hkg? bound to hkg kasi kami 1st wk of june so kumustahin ko sana ang swine scare dun? sis, hindi ba nakakalito ang mtr? kung hindi ba kami mag ocean park ng mga kids ko eh malaki ba mami miss namin or ok lang? mag disney kami on the 3rd day namin. thanks
Hi Shiela, we were in HK last April 30-May 5. Don’t worry about the swine flu scare, everything is under control and like what the HK government said, they are more than prepared for the A(H1N1) virus because of their previous experience in SARS.
HK is very tourist friendly, there are signs everywhere, just read the signs at di ka na maliligaw. It would be best to go to Ocean Park too especially if it’s your first time but then, you can always come back =). Solve na rin yung mga kids sa Disneyland. =)
Nice photos! I wish I had a nice camera like that when we were there. I love Disneyland
it’s for kids of all ages talaga! I love the 3D cinema:)

hello have you found the number of ate yolly we’ll be going there but i’d rather call her than just exchange emails with mr/mrs lee who apparently earned not so good remarks on accepting reservations i hope you could help me thanks
Hi Maxene, yup, found the number. It’s (852) 2366 8273, that’s the number of Taisan Store 1 where Ate Yolly is located. Hope this helps, do come back at my site to share your HK experience, enjoy!
hey thanks for ate yolly’s number if i may ask did they ask for the full payment when you checked in?
Yes, but they won’t force you to pay in full. Like with our situation, we said we don’t have enough HK dollars so we have to go to the money changer pa. We paid in full on our 3rd day, baka kasi maubos sa shopping kaya nagbayad na kami para safe.

Would anyone tell me which is better?
Hongkong Disney or Singapore Universal Studios?
Or should one visit both?
