If you’re coming from the US, Japan or France, then Disneyland may not be such a big thing but, once it overcame a few initial hiccups after opening in September 2005, the Hong Kong version has become a big hit with Chinese tourists and is a great place for a break if you’ve got kids or just want to unleash the child in you. Indeed, even those who’ve grown up with Mickey at their back door have good things to say about Hong Kong Disneyland, noting the attractive setting on the ocean and the short lines mid-week, which is when you should try to come. The park has several themed areas that offer a range of attractions, from the storybook world of Fantasy land, to the thrill-seeking futuristic Space Mountain and shoot ’em up Buzz Light year rides found at Tomorrow land. As well as its Jungle River Cruise, Adventure land also hosts a live version of the animated hit Lion King, while Main Street USA harks back to a simpler time and holds daily parades featuring Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy. If you’ve got kids and want Disneyland to feature in your trip you could stay in one of the park’s two hotels, with rooms starting from. The Hollywood Hotel is more fun for kids than the Disneyland Resort Hotel. However, unless you want complete immersion into the world of Disney, a stay isn’t necessary. Although the resort is out on Lantau Island, as always in Hong Kong, transport links are excellent. The easiest way to get here is via the Tung Chung MTR line from Hong Kong station out to Sunny Bay and then change onto the Disneyland line for the last stop, a journey of about a half-hour. You can also get here by taxi from Hong Kong Island), from Hung Hom (HK$32) or #R21 from Hong Kong Island (HK$38). And a ferry link will soon start running to within walking distance of the park! Ticket prices are listed above and you can obtain them online, at Hong Kong MTR station or at the park gates.
