A Day in Disneyland Hong Kong
I didn’t think the visit to Disneyland Hong Kong was the most exciting part of our Hong Kong and Macau trip. My siblings were so much more enthusiastic than me and I don’t have anything against that. Disneyland is one of the most sought after destinations in the world. It’s a fun place where kids can visit fantasyland and where adults have the chance relive their childhood. I’m just not a big fan of a tourist trap full of actors dressing up as cartoon characters. Honestly, I think this delusional place is a bit disturbing … and not in a good way. I actually planned on just playing along, making sure I don’t get drawn in to insanity, long enough until the big fireworks display in the evening.
I’m sure you don’t really want to read more about my ranting so I’ll just carry on then … We arrived back in Tung Chung Center from Ngong Ping 360 and Ngong Ping Village after lunchtime. We didn’t actually have a decent lunch during our tour of Ngong Ping Village because we planned on taking a late lunch in Disneyland Hong Kong instead. We brought some snacks from the 7/11 store near Wing Sing hotel before we left for Ngong Ping anyways. From Tung Chung we took the MTR to Sunny Bay MTR Station, an interchange station between the Tung Chung Line and the Disneyland Resort Line to Hong Kong Disneyland.

When we arrived in Disneyland Hong Kong my mood lightened up a bit after finding out that they’re doing this whole Halloween / a Night Before Christmas theme with statues and images of Jack Skellington filling up the whole theme park … so cool
We went around the attractions for a bit before the hunger finally kicked in
There’s a number of (overpriced) food stalls and restaurants in Disneyland Hong Kong. We ate in one of the fast food joints spending around HK$50 for just a basic burger and fries combo meal

As the night slowly came creeping in, we were already very very tired. There was a time when my siblings were already sleeping in the benches. Even though I wanted a quick nap, the sunset was just so beautiful that I couldn’t resist the photo opportunity. For a quick caffeine fix, I bought an overpriced “typical tasting” iced coffee, which cost HK$25.
Now for the best part – The fireworks display in Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at 9pm in the evening. If you’re planning to take pictures of the fireworks display, I suggest taking a good place to position your tripod (like in front of the big fountain) 15 to 30 minutes before the fireworks display starts since there are a lot of other people wanting those spots. If you don’t want to bother waiting that long, bring a super tall tripod.
After the fireworks display, which lasted for about 10 to 15 minutes, we went straight to Yau Ma Tei for dinner in the noodle place near Wing Sing Hotel and then did some shopping at Temple Street night market.
