Visit Hong Kong: Hong Kong Disneyland

We went to Hong Kong specifically to visit Disneyland.  We haven't been to all of the Disney theme parks yet, but so far, Hong Kong Disneyland is my favorite.

Getting to Disneyland was super easy on the train (they have a dedicated Disney line you can transfer to).  We bought tickets online for a Tier 1 day, which meant the crowds would be minimal.  You can buy tickets via Klook for slightly cheaper, but we bought tickets through Disney just a few days before the day we visited. 

As soon as we entered the park, we noticed Duffy was featured vs Mickey at the entrance.  Duffy and Friends are huge in Asia.  

I immediately checked the wait times and we saw that Frozen Ever After only had a 10-minute wait, so we proceeded to that ride first. 

It was a great ride and my fave of the park. The animatronics were so neat and the ride itself was so fun!

The rest of the day in terms of rides went the same - we never stood in a standby line longer than 15 minutes, and we even got to ride multiple rides more than once. There was no need to buy early entry, premiere access or "fast passes" (they sell them per ride).

There were many rides also found at other parks, such as Jungle River Cruise, "it's a small world," and Hyperspace Mountain, which differed slightly from other parks.


There were also some rides like Mystic Manor that were unlike rides we've been on at other Disney parks (I thought it was going to be like the Haunted Mansion, but it was completely different).

The park is overall small compared to other Disney parks, but it didn't make it any less fun. 


The food options, in my opinion, were not as good or plentiful as in other parks, but they did have some cute options as well as cool looking burgers.  






I did love the ice cream options. We can never leave a Disney park without getting ice cream, and Small World Ice Cream had the best treats!

There is a parade - Mickey and Friends Street Celebration, but it was literally just 5 minutes long.  


During the time we visited, they had a Find Your Super Power: Battle in the Sky drone show that was super neat.  


The “Momentous” Nighttime Spectacular really was spectacular.  It was the best Disney fireworks show I've seen and lasted a good 20 minutes.  


It was a combination projection / light / water / fireworks show and it was so amazing.  

We caught two taxis to get back to our hotel (we didn't want to wait for a larger taxi) vs catching the train (it was only 25 minutes to get back vs almost an hour on the train).

We also lucked out with weather. We visited during the summer rainy season, but it was breezy with just a few light sprinkles.

It was a very long day at Hong Kong Disneyland, but truly magical!
