Hong Kong - Disneyland & Hollywood Hotel


Here is an interesting welcome!

Welcome!

There were 4 main segments within Disneyland:
Parade
Main Street
1) Main Street USA - This is the main area upon entering Disneyland! Visitors are likely to find the Disney characters within this main street. We also managed to catch Mickey's Waterworks Parade in mid noon.

Was especially entertaining to see how characters such as Alice in Wonderland sing to the Cantonese dance tune! Oh, they actually know how to speak Cantonese? Heh. The surprise element was the wet component of the parade. Showers of blessings were catered to cool the guests from the heat in August! In the evening we were treated to a fine display of fireworks...Aww...So magical.

2) Adventureland - This is for the slightly more adventurous group featuring a Jungle River Cruise and the Tarzan's treehouse. For the cruise, we had a very animated guide who quickly won the rapport from the passengers.

The design and thoughts put into this cruise were amazing. Worth the queue!

3) Fantasyland - 2 things that I was impressed with! Firstly, Mickey's Philhar Magic was well orchestrated and left viewers recollecting disney classics. Furthermore, the effects complemented the 3D show well, with gusts of wind, spurts of water and scents of food adding on to the surprise for viewers! Secondly, Small World was rather fascinating with displays such as Aladdin, Mermaid and the list goes on..!

We also went through some queues to take pictures with our favourite Disney characters!

4) Tomorrowland - Space Mountain was a thrilling ride (a lil similar to Panasonic in Escape theme Park way back). When I got in, I wasn't sure if I was ready. And I was definitely relieved when it was over. Astro Blasters is a cruise where all of us will attempt to shoot at targets and I managed to top the scores among the 4 of us. Ha.

How could we miss out on the fireworks?

We also got the chance to stay at the Hollywood Hotel (4* Disney Hotel). Guess we were really looking forward to it. The counter staff processed our check in rather quickly. We were upgraded to the (insert name) where we’d be able to view the fireworks from the comfort of the room. What’s more we were able to tune in to the sights and sounds by tuning in to one of the TV channels to enhance the viewing experience. Its way cool! Here is a peek into the room and deco.
