(Yeap, I need that mindset for HK Disneyland..)
HK Disneyland is.. I reckon.. the smallest Disneyland on planet earth! Some Hongkies commented that a short 3 hours is all it takes to see everything!! We actually debated on this among ourselves, should we go to Big Buddha in the morning then Disneyland during the noon? Since we had 5 days in HK, we figured that we really don't need to rush, so we allocate one full day just for Mickey and friends. However, I do agree that you don't need a whole day for Disneyland, but 3 hours? I beg to differ! Cause we took 6 hours or longer to cover every stage show and most attractions there.
JellyBean's chewy advice: Do 2 in 1 day - Big Buddha from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm then to Disneyland which is only one or two MTR station away from the Big Buddha. Why? Because for Disneyland you will have to stay till 9:00pm for the firework display, no point going there as early as they open the gate cause by 6:00 pm you would have finish every show and ride and wanting to leave the place but you can't cause you don't want to miss the firework display?! How?!? Grab a bench and wait wait wait till 9:00pm.. (that was what happened to us)
We reached Disneyland almost as early as the gate opened... *kiasu*... sprinted to the ticketing counter (HKD350 per entry)...but we still need to queue..just too many people eventhough it was on a weekday! Before we kick start our disney adventures, we each grabbed ourselves a map, marked down all the station that have stage shows and their play time, and planned our route (yes, we are all very oriented person :P). Stage shows and parade is a MUST-SEE if not your ticket is consider burned! So make sure you sit in every stage shows!!!
Our disney route:
(p/s: be there half an hour before the show starts cause the queue is horrific! and be very alert because there are many irritating uncivilized people who will cut in front of you when you are unaware! one minute they are behind you and the next minute they stand infront of you)
1. Space Mountain roller coaster at station 23
***This ride was, I swear to God, the most horrifying few minutes of that entire day. I scream my lungs out with one hand held onto the handle tightly while the other was covering my eyes. No no no, it wasn't a scarry ride, but I was terrified that my fake lashes will be blown off!!! HAHAHA..Luckily I still both on after the ride *-* ***
2. The Golden Mickeys stage show at station 20
***This was an award giving show. As the red curtain rolled up, we saw this lady named Bebe, she's the award presenter and later Mickey and friends joined in to help Bebe in presenting the awards to some of Disney's fav movie. They have mascots of Toy Story, Pocahontas, Lilo & Stitch, The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast singing and dancing to their songs. I very much enjoyed it -I was singing along bobbing my head to the music (yes I know almost every song cause I grew up watching Disney movies)!!***
***For lunch, we opted for the bbq pork rice HKD 55 and sesame + strawberry ice-cream for desert (didn't jot down the price for the ice-cream, cause someone paid for me :P)***
3. Cruised into the Small Small World at station 19
4. Mickey's PhilharMagic 3-D show at station 13
***I was thrilled to see Donald Duck, my fav!!***
5. Mickey's waterworks parade at 4:00 pm
6. Festival of the Lion King music and dance show at station 7
7. Rafted to Tarzan's Treehouse at station 8
8. Climbed to high adventure in the treetop home of Tarzan at station 9.
***I find this abit of a waste and we were made to go all the way up and there wasn't much to see up there***
*** shh shh time hahahaha toilet break***
9. Tour the whole HK Disneyland on an excursion-style train at station 1.
10. Dinner & shopping-for-sourvenir time :D
11. Can no longer move my knees nor lift a finger...so we stoned at the bench in Main street USA till 9:00pm to witness "Disney in the Stars" fireworks display.
***The End! yay! finally get to go back and relax our poor feet (I sound so tortured :P)***
